CHAPTER VI

Summary and Suggestions

The purposes

The purpose of the program is to prepare a good future teachers by teaching in another country. From this program, we can improve our English skill both in the teaching in the classroom or in communication with the other people. The student teachers can build the relationship and have a new family in the other country.  

Procedures of practicum

Orientation in the College, Orientation in the School, Observation in the class, Teaching Practice, Evaluation, and Reflection.

Outcomes o practicum

There are three outcomes of the practicum. They are:

1)      The student teacher can improve the English proficiency;

2)      The student teacher has many experiences regarding teaching the students from another country and the culture of the country; and

3)      The student teacher gains more knowledge regarding the teaching skill and pedagogy.

The challenges of practicum

It is a big challenge for me to teach and life in the ESL country (English for Second Language), the Philippines because in my country (Indonesia) English is a foreign language. The book that I always use in Indonesia is Indonesian language and in Philippines I use English book to teach science subject so made me study hard to teach the students. At first, it made me under the pressure; however, fortunately I can manage it well.

Overall impression

Such a great experience to be able to join this program. Thanks to the lecturer who has given me the opportunity to join the SEA-Teacher program. From this program I am not only get the teaching experience in front of students whose English ability is very good, but I also get new friends and family. For almost one month I can improve my English skills because it is a must for me if I want to communicate with others. I have a lot of valuable experience and hopefully I can be a good teacher in the future.

Suggestions for future improvement

1)      For SEAMEO

The exchange pre-service teacher program is a great program to improve students’ English proficiency and to improve their way of teaching. The suggestion for the organization, it will be better if the other ASEAN countries can join the program.

2)      For Pangasinan State University

The treatment from Pangasinan State University was beyond expectation. It was really satisfying. From the president, lectures and the students college were really helpful. The program was also well organized. The suggestion is it is better if the university make a timeline in detail regarding the schedule of the student teachers who join the program.  

3)      For School

From me, this is the good school started from the principle, teachers, staff of the school and the students. The suggestion for the school is to maintain the achievement of the students, the facilities and services from the school.

4)      For Supervising Instructor (Teacher/Mentor)

                 My supervising instructor is really good, understand,  and considerate to me. She gave me motivation every time I finished to teaching. The suggestion for my supervising instructor is remain the teacher that proud of students.
