Abstract
As prospective elementary school teachers, students in the department of elementary teacher education (PGSD) are equipped with the basics of teaching skills through microteaching courses. However, in Indonesia, no microteaching courses utilize technology to help students develop their teaching skills. Through collaborative research with Murdoch University and the University of Newcastle, students at the department of elementary teacher education at Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) were allowed to do microteaching by utilizing Microteaching 2.0 technology in the form of a Simulation Laboratory (SimLab). This article aims to describe the teaching skills that the Unesa PGSD bilingual students have successfully developed with the help of SimLab. The data was collected through Zoom recording, interviews during reflections, and questionnaires. The results showed that the response of avatar students in Microteaching 2.0 technology helped prospective teachers develop the ability to hold variations in learning, ask questions, and teach small groups or individuals. This research shows that students who want to become teachers need this technology to practice teaching before they work with real students.
