NOW and before

Talking about my simulated teaching that I had gone through, I wonder, why is it so different from how I was taught in school before? I still remember those days, when I am still in secondary school; none of my teachers teach us the way we should do during our simulated teaching. Normally, my teachers will just come to the class, give notes, going through exercises, and give homework and that’s all. There are no such things like our set induction, pre reading stage, while reading stage, post reading stage and all. Urm… maybe as a student at that time I did not realize that I actually gone through all the stages but as far as I remember, when my teacher enters the class, he/she expects us had read all the short stories or novels that he/she is going to teach and we will discuss about the story straight away. Sometimes, to make it simpler, and due to the time constraint my teacher just gives us notes to read on. I think my teachers have to do it that way because they have to follow the syllabus and they have to focus on what will come out in the examinations as our system of education is exam oriented. As a future teacher, I think I should teach my students like what I did during my simulated teaching. It is because, the lesson will be more fun and it helps my students experience something new and not what like what I hade experience before. Maybe by doing it this way it helps my students get better understanding and enjoy the class.
