Micro-teaching is a teacher training procedure which allows the teacher to practice a specific
teaching skill by presenting a small lesson for about 5 to 10 minutes to a small group of students
(his own peers) with an opportunity to observe the performance on video tape. Usually the
teacher teachers a class of 4 to 5 students for a duration of 5 to 10; the number of instructional
objectives will be just one or two. Microteaching with peers is a simulated. Simulation is by
definition “artificial”. Simulation involves role playing. Teachers are asked to teach their peers
in simulated classroom encounters, and it is followed up by discussion and lesson.
