On Thursday, November 29, 2025, our batch had the opportunity to attend a comprehensive micro-teaching demonstration session conducted by our seniors. The session began at 11:15 AM and continued until 1:20 PM, offering us a detailed glimpse into the essential teaching skills that every teacher-trainee must master.
The seniors opened the session with a brief self-introduction before moving on to explain the various micro-teaching skills, like skill of explaining, skill of set induction, skill of closure, skill of stimulus variation etc.
To create a classroom-like environment, three benches and a blackboard were arranged, and around ten students were seated as participants. Our seniors then conducted a demo class, demonstrating how each skill can be effectively applied in real teaching scenarios. This hands-on approach helped us visualize how to incorporate these skills naturally during teaching practice.
After the demonstration, we had our regular subject period from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Following this, two more subject-specific skills were introduced. The Physical Science and Mathematics students were asked to leave, while students from Social Science, English, Mathematics, and Natural Science proceeded to classrooms assigned to their subject seniors.
For English, the focus was on two important skills, Reading skill and Recitation skill.
Our seniors began by explaining the components of effective reading. A senior demonstrated the reading of a poem, emphasizing voice modulation, intonation, appropriate gestures, and the importance of engaging expression. We learned that good reading is not just about clarity but also about creating an emotional connection with the students.
Next came the recitation skill, where the senior explained the need for clear pronunciation, audibility, and expressive voice variations. Through the demonstration, we understood how recitation can help students connect with the rhythm, meaning, and emotional tone of a poem.
This micro-teaching demonstration was truly enlightening. It helped us understand how different skills blend together to create a meaningful teaching-learning experience. Our teachers also reminded us that our own micro-teaching sessions are approaching soon, where we will be expected to conduct classes using one selected skill.
The day ended on a positive and motivating note, leaving us better prepared, more confident, and excited to implement these skills in our upcoming micro-teaching practice.
