The correct answer is D. All of these.
Microteaching is a teacher education technique in which a teacher presents a very short lesson to a small group of students. The lesson is typically recorded and then the teacher and a supervisor review the lesson to identify areas for improvement. Microteaching can be used to help teachers develop new teaching skills or to improve their existing skills.
Microteaching is a scaled-down teaching encounter in terms of class size and class time. The teacher typically presents a lesson to a group of 3-6 students for a period of 5-10 minutes. This allows the teacher to focus on a specific teaching skill and to receive feedback from the supervisor in a relatively short period of time.
Microteaching is also a teacher education technique that allows teachers to apply clearly defined teaching goals. The teacher and the supervisor identify a specific teaching goal for the microteaching lesson. The teacher then plans and delivers the lesson, focusing on achieving the identified goal. The supervisor provides feedback on the teacher’s performance, helping the teacher to improve their ability to achieve the goal.
Microteaching is a valuable tool for teacher education. It can help teachers to develop new teaching skills, to improve their existing skills, and to apply clearly defined teaching goals.
