Abstract

The present study was aimed at understanding how students perceive their microteaching performance as a basis for the improvement of the subject of Approaches and Methods in TESOL in the English Department of Universitas Negeri Semarang. Ninety students took part in this study. They wrote a lesson plan and carried out a seven-minute-microteaching. Students then wrote an individual reflective essay reflecting their strengths and weaknesses. Six sample papers were taken and analyzed. It was found that in general students perceived their strength in the use of visual aids and realia. They saw that the use of the teaching media helped them a lot in successfully delivering the lesson. The students were relatively confident with their English despite minor mistakes. The students admitted that their major weakness was on nervousness of speaking in public. The finding of the study has informed that the teaching of Approaches and Methods in TESOL should incorporate public speaking practices.
