Microteaching: An Effective Stratagem for Novice Teachers of English Language

Abstract

    Pedagogy plays a paramount role in academics for effective teaching and learning. Micro teaching is a pedagogical tool used to augment the teaching skills of novice or pre service teachers of schools, colleges, and universities, imparting quality education to students. It eulogizes teaching techniques and strategies to gain learning outcomes through planned lessons. This research aims at exploring Micro teaching skills and strategies of novice teachers enrolled in the Applied Linguistics Master degree program. A qualitative research design was employed to draw research results. Research tools were observation, note-taking, and video recording. Micro teaching lessons comprised action research cycle plan, teach, observe and reflect. Feedback demonstrated that participants reflected better teaching outcomes following Micro teaching Cycle Plan. The results exhibited that Micro teaching plays an essential role for novice English language student teachers. Results recommend that Micro teaching should be made part of teacher training programs and should be part of the university curriculum. Hence, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan should launch fresh teacher training programs for teachers of Pakistan.
