CONCLUSION

First of all, a big thanks to Pn Noor Farah bt Ibrahim @ Ismail because she had helped me a lot in finishing this task. Without her help, I will not be able to finish this assignment on the right time. There is so much benefits that I can learn many new things during my SBE. I learn how to control the class and the correct way to question pupils and many more. The knowledge that I got during SBE will be applied in my practicum so that I will not face much problems when teaching English in school.
