Lesson Study in SMK Layang-Layang

Date: 26th June 2012
Venue: SMK Layang-Layang

I arrived forty-five minutes earlier in SMK Layang-Layang to assist the PPD in the Bahagian Pendidikan Guru Professional Learning Community, Lesson Study Programme. Schools in band 6 and 7 have been selected for the programme and SMK Layang Layang is one of the schools in Johor. As a PR (Pakar Rujuk) for English Language, I assisted En Mohd Suffian Mohd Aris and En Musa (English Officer) from the PPD Kluang for a classroom visit. I enjoyed the lesson carried by Amalia, a young teacher who just started teaching for a month in the school. Post-observation reflection was held in the meeting room where all members of the English panel and officers reflected and gave their feedback on the lesson. Amalia had definitely put in a lot of effort in the lesson and executed it well. One thing I really liked was the video clip used as a set induction. It had lyrics accompanying it and this is very useful for rural students who may not comprehend the American accent. Not only was the video relevant to the teaching point (Recycling) but also clear and crisp. Overall, we agreed that the lesson achieved its objectives. Well-done!
