Teachers are required to regularly and continuously collect the learners’ data in all respects for each semester, as well as provide remedial measures, enabling learners to develop to their highest potentiality.

F.      Curriculum

1.      Co-Curriculum

This curriculum comes from OBEC to the whole number of schools, so this is common curriculum that use in the school in Thailand. This curriculum wants schools to give five subjects such as Mathematics, Science, Social, English and Thai Language. Not only the subjects that arranged by OBEC but also the system of scoring and the material that use. Those things come from OBEC as the representative of the government. Every school should follow this rule.

2.      School Curriculum

This curriculum made by the school. It also common in Thai school because the school should add some subject that not relate to the OBEC curriculum. The subjects are Japanese language, Chinese language, English language, Art, Physical and others. The students should choose what subject that they like. Students should choose some subjects as their selected subject. So they are free to choose what subject that they like.

II.                Pedagogical Content

A.       Teaching methods

          In this school use student centered approach because the teacher create some activity that make the students active in the class such as games, warming before the lesson began. The warming given by clue so they guess and trying to speak English. Then when doing task, the teacher ask the students to make group to do the task. It makes the students work in a team and try to help each other.

B.       Learning materials and innovation

          Book is the common material that use by the teacher. When teaching, the teacher makes some innovations such as creating power point slide to make students understand about the material and the teacher also create game to make the students enjoy the material. Before starting the lesson, the teacher let the students to think about what they will learn and it makes students think critically. beside that, the teacher also make students more active in the class.

C.       Sources of learning and technology

          Teacher use technology to develop the learning process such as giving pictures take from the internet, adding video that take from youtube and they also use projector to support the learning process. In English department room 311 also have electric board that connected to the projector. It helps a lot when correcting students sheet. Then in each class has television to make it easy when delivering the material. this school use a good technology to support learning process.

D.       Authentic assessment

          There are lot of way to get score in this school. the teacher use task to get daily score, daily test and middle test to get formative assessment and final test in the last semester to get summative assessment. When the teacher score the students, they use rubric. In rubric written some criteria to score the students. It shown the ability of the students.

III.             Teaching Plan

A.    Planning for teaching

Before teaching, the teacher plans the material and work sheet for the students. The material from book and from the teacher itself. Sometimes, the work sheet taken from the book but the teacher modify it. So it is easier to understand by the students. The teacher make the activity as creative as possible to make students feel happy when learning in the class.

B.     Preparing lessons and materials

Teacher makes lesson plan before he teach and the lesson plan used to guide the way he teach. When the government ask for administration of the teacher it also shown to make sure the lesson has already taught. The lesson plan signed by the director that is why it also legal. And the director know what knowledge that taught to the students.

C.     Teaching in class

When teaching, teacher follow the steps in his lesson plan. All steps are going well and when there is any problem in the class, the teacher directly revise it. for example when the class is noisy and the students try to speak Thai, so the teacher will make some direction like "Ok, listen to me. Do not speak in thai" or the teacher keep attention students' attention so they still focus in the class.

The class is focus in pronouncing words because teacher wants the students to speak correctly, if they speak correctly it will decrease miss understanding. Every knowing new words, the teacher will guide the students to pronounce it together. It trains students to speak correctly in every word.

D.    Measurement and Evaluation

It get from the activeness of the students and some of assessment sheet. It also get from middle test and final test so the score are come from students ability.

IV.             Teaching Practice

A.    Procedures of teaching

I plan to teach mathayom 4, first I gave the students pictures related with topic that will discussed. I let students to think, and they try to guess so they try to speak English in the class. After giving picture, I give the right answer then I let them to guess some picture related with vocabulary that will be discuss. one picture for one vocabulary so they will focus on what they talk about. After giving one vocabulary, I guide students to pronounce the word in the right way.

Next after knowing the vocabulary, I ask them to a question and let them answer my question based on their experience. then I give them work sheet and the do the work in a group. i want them to work in a group because they can help each other and it can increase team work. I let them finishing the work in 15 minutes and then correcting together.

Last I ask them to take some data of their friend by asking same question, and writing in passive sentence. Then after that they have to talk with their pair telling the data.

B.     Time management and organizing activities

I have three main activity in my class. First opening then main activity and then closing. for opening I give them 5 minutes that use to show pictures related the topic. then for main activity I use 40 minutes, 15 minutes for giving vocabulary, 10 minus doing work sheet, 12 minus for asking the other students and 3 minutes for doing pai conversation. In the last I give them reflection 5 minutes.

However when I taught in the class, I run out of time because the students are coming late so the time is not enough until reflection. But when I taught in the other class, the activity runs well, the students are active in the class and the time is enough.

C.     Problem-solving

The big problem in my class is language, even I teach in English and the department or class is English too, they commonly speak Thai. It was really hard to make them not speaking Thai in the class. but I try to keep them speak in English, I tell them that I cannot understand if they speak Thai so they try to speak English with me.

The other Problem is students' focus, some of the students are not focus in the class such as sleep, and playing their phone. If the students sleep, I wake her up and then I ask her to do the assignment and warn her to not sleep again. For the students who play their phones, I directly ask them to turn off their games and turn off their phone. The other problem is lateness of the students, I let them late but its only 10 minutes, If they late more than 10 minus, I keep teach the other students that have already in the class.

D.    Classroom management

My weaknesses when I teach is not giving clue in the front of class if there are lots of students ask to spell the word and not giving correct answer by writing in the front of class so the students did not know the correct writing. I just ask them to spell the correct answer not write in the front of the class.

The second one is too fast in giving instruction so the students did not understand correctly. I directly give example to make them more understand. When I gave them some work, I check their understanding so I can know whether or not they understand my instruction. If they are not understood, I repeat my instruction also the example.

V.                Summary and Suggestion

I should bring good things that I get from this practicum, such as giving clearly instruction then giving example so the students will understand about what they have to do. The other is give them lot of time to speak so they can practice their English without using their mother language.
