Students’ Perceived Impact of English Course Design Class on Designing Lesson Plan in Micro Teaching Class

Lesson plan is a crucial aspect of the teaching and learning process. Both experienced teachers and prospective teachers are required to create lesson plans before conducting teaching. It is a guide for teachers to keep the class running smoothly. Students must take courses systematically to learn lesson plan, starting with English Course Design, Micro-teaching, and EFL Teaching Administration classes. This research aims to find the impact of English Course Design classes on students’ ability to design lesson plans in Micro-teaching classes. This research applied a qualitative method and used interview techniques for data collection. The participants of this research are English Department Students of UIN Ar-Raniry who have taken English Course Design Classes and are in Micro-teaching classes. The samples are ten students of Micro-teaching classes. The research found that English Course Design class helps students in designing lesson plans. In contrast, one of the participants said the English Course Design class did not help her very much because she already knew how to design lesson plans. All in all, the participants agreed on the impacts of the English Course Design class: enriching their knowledge and skills about lesson plans, giving them insight into lesson plans, and helping them in the Micro-teaching class.
