Abstract

The goal of the teacher training strategy known as microteaching is to develop and enhance the pre-service teachers' classroom management abilities and self-assurance. This area of inquiry investigated people's opinions on the effectiveness of microteaching in developing teachers' craft. 30 aspiring English teachers from six different Malaysian colleges who were exposed to microteaching sessions during their undergraduate studies served as the study's responders. In order to collect the research data, semi-structured questionnaires about the microteaching techniques they utilized, the challenges they had getting ready for the sessions, and their opinions about microteaching were used. According to the research, pre-service English instructors felt that microteaching had helped them gain confidence when teaching. The pre-service English teachers also had a variety of experiences during their microteaching sessions, and the vast majority of respondents had favorable opinions on microteaching as a useful teaching strategy. The microteaching sessions also help the aspiring English instructors overcome any difficulties in running their classrooms.
