B.  Suggestion

The writer thinks that there are some suggestions for the school. First, speaking skill is an important skill of English but other skills are also important such as reading, listening, and writing. Therefore, in general class the writer wants to teach other skills so not only one skill that is taught but also other skills must also be taught or it is called as integrated teaching. Second, the writer wants to teach real class not only class that is made only to conduct teaching practice. It is because the writer wants to feel the real teaching learning process both online or offline classes.

For the university, the writer thinks that conducting teaching practice for two months is not enough. It is because only one month that is used to conducted teaching practice. In addition, there is a pandemic so some teaching learning process will be online. Therefore, the writer especially student needs more time to add experience and improve skill in teaching learning process through teaching practice.
