Teaching Plan Related to your major
As long as I observed the learning process, especially in the grade 8, I focus on teaching material about journalism where the material is out of the existing curriculum so my book reference is not much but runs smoothly during the learning process because I studied the material from the internet.
OBSERVATION
Planning For Teaching
When I observed the WVSU Integrated Laboratory School, On their lesson plan, they planed all of the subjects and also the materials that will be given to the Students. The interesting part comes when the teacher check their attention using some word such as hap hap and the student will say horee..... in order make student be silent and also focus back to the lesson and I tried to be on time in my class because I only have one hour to one material so, I prepare all 30 minutes before started my class.
Preparing lesson and material
All of the teacher planed the lesson well. Some of them used manila paper, cartolina and also the other media to make instructional material, so that they can transfer the knowledge easily. Beside that, the teacher used their laptop to present some pictures, asked the Students to guess it, and also used the speaker to sing.
Teaching in Class
Based on the observation, teacher who started class they will start by using pray first because student has group each other So, if we have material by using group we don't need to spend our time for dividing group. we only delivery our material and make student active in class. usually when I delivered my material before next material I'll ask them to check their understanding since learning process and when they still focus I will continue my material and also if entered to practice I made some game each question. because I teach about journalism, I always asked student to bring some paper such as magazine or news paper.
Based on the observation, we know that the Student teacher and the teacher work hard. They make Instructional materials every day and started their lesson at 07.30 am then finished at 04.30 pm. Before the Students entered the class, they always pray and greet all of teacher.

Grade 5 in WVSU Integrated Laboratory School
Measurement and Evaluation
Based on the observation, after they finished to teach the Students, the teacher will give some quizzes for student that related that material before. it will be started 15 minutes before class ended.
TEACHING PRACTICE
Procedure of Teaching
Before starting my class, I will start asking about their condition today and to enter the church I usually give them guesses so that they focus on my learning after they have succeeded in guessing the next material, then I will give them games related to the material taught today. after that I will explain about my material then give them some questions sometimes they are in the form of group and individual assignments, after that before ending my class, I will start giving quizzes at the end of the class to check the understandings of each of them
Time management and organizing activities
I taught some material about journalism, one material takes 1 hour. the opening topic was about 5-10 minutes and then went into the core topic 40 minutes and 10 minutes for closing, all of these schedules were made according to the lesson plan given. The lesson plan consists of Introduction, Motivation, Activity, Analysis, Generalization, Evaluation, Assignment.
Problem-Solving
while there because I taught grade 8 and also grade 5 for team teaching classes sometimes what made me difficult was the delivery of material because English there was their second language and Indonesian was a foreign language but sometimes found students who also could not speak English, and pronunciation that different sometimes make students confused with what I say, and students who are so many in class that is 54-56 classy students make me have to be able to handle these students for 1 hour, so I make them do more tasks by grouping so it doesn't take time a lot            
DEMONSTRATION IN GRADE 5 AND 8
Summary and Suggestion
Purpose of Practicum
The purpose of this practicum is to find out how to learn from various countries and to increase the ability of prospective teachers to deal with the various kinds of students who share the world, besides this practice also creates opportunities for prospective teachers that the effective method we teach is not only effective in Indonesia but can also be proven by applying our methods in other countries
Procedures of practicum
The procedure for practicum WVSU was very good, I had 4 weeks to finish my activity they divided into 4 parts: orientation and observation, teaching assistant, teaching practice, evaluation and reflection.
There are some procedure of practicum teaching to the Students in the WVSU : before we started our teaching practicum, we should finish our lesson plan, then we consult to the teacher. After many correction, they allow us to teach in the classroom.
Outcomes of practicum
As a Outcomes of this practicum, we know that there are various ways to pursue students from different countries and this practice can improve English better because we have to practice using English and not have another language, and also can learn methods from what is obtained from this school and I apply it in Indonesia, all the results from here are the provision for facing future education.
The Challenges of Practicum
The biggest thing that really challenges me here is how I can manage my time and deliver my material with the methods that I brought from Indonesia so that they understand in the learning process
Overall Impression
WVSU provides good servants, they are very welcome to different countries starting from the school environment, the teachers, school staff and their students. their students there who were very active in learning and very fond of teachers from other countries made us very comfortable there.
Suggestion and Future Improvement
I hope, this activity will always be there forever, so as to provide opportunities for other prospective teachers especially for all education majors and more increased participation in ASEAN, and for WVSU so far everything is very good and still welcome to other countries and also maintain teaching methods that so creative going forward again.
