REFLECTION

This activity helped me understand the importance of mental health awareness and peace culture in educational environments. I learned that teachers play an important role in creating safe and supportive classrooms where students feel respected and understood. Reflecting on topics such as emotional well-being and prevention strategies also helped me become more aware of the responsibilities teachers have when supporting students facing personal or emotional challenges. In addition, this activity improved my communicative competence by helping me practice fluency, pronunciation, organization of ideas, and professional speaking skills in English. The automatic feedback motivated me to continue improving my oral communication abilities and become more confident when speaking in academic contexts.

 

CONCLUSION

Overall, this activity was a meaningful learning experience because it combined reflective thinking, professional awareness, and oral communication practice. It helped me strengthen both my speaking skills and my understanding of the importance of empathy, inclusion, and emotional support in the teaching profession.
