Week 13 – 14: These two weeks I tried to finish the chapter that I targeted to be done before I give back my responsibility to Puan Siti Azibanul. On these two weeks, I’ll be observed by my guidance teacher, Puan Siti Azibanul. She observed me on the 7th period on Wednesday and this time I told to my students that Puan Azibanul will going to do the observation. As ordered, they gave fully co – operations and luckily half of the class went to the ERT room to finish their task ordered by their teacher. It was a relief as I could conduct the activity in the manageable condition. However, Puan Azibanul only observed for less than 10 minutes before I could do some activities with them. I hope that she could judge me fairly as she is an experienced teacher I tremendously needed a good mark for my teaching as well as my efforts. On the final week of my practicum, I was asked by Puan Azibanul to do the oral test with my students. For the whole week I only do the oral test with them and at the same time preparing for final lesson plan for the second observation. As expected, some of the students couldn’t even converse in English. Those groups were the talkative click that I often pointed out. The oral test was beyond satisfactory as I put high expectation on them. However, some were doing very well as I never expect that those students could done better. On the Wednesday, my final observation wasn’t the one I wished for. My guidance teacher couldn’t make it on that day and she didn’t come to observe me. I assumed that she might be very busy. I regretted that I didn’t do the observations earlier. If I could, I would like to be given a fair mark. Before, I couldn’t make a date of observation with her because I hardly seen her in the staff room and I was being informed by other teacher that she is one of the busiest teacher. I understand that she gives full commitment on the examinations class (Form Three) and would only asked for her to observe me when she is free. In the end of my final class, I gave my two-cents to my students and asked for their apology. I have nothing to be given to my students. All I could give to them is a piece of advice for their realization.
