Microteaching involves short, focused teaching sessions with a small group of students, usually lasting 5-20 minutes, for teachers to practice and receive feedback on specific teaching skills. Traditional teaching refers to the standard practice of delivering lessons to a larger group of students for a full class period or longer. Microteaching allows for targeted skill development and immediate feedback, while traditional teaching is a broader approach to instructing a larger group over an extended period.

Microteaching focuses on teaching specific skills in a controlled classroom setting, allowing immediate feedback and practice. In contrast, traditional teaching typically involves a larger classroom with a broader curriculum featuring lectures and standardized assessments. Microteaching focuses on student engagement and individualized learning while traditional teaching often relies on a standard approach. Overall, microteaching aims to refine teaching techniques through specialized practice whereas traditional teaching covers a wider range of content in a less personalized manner.

The differences between micro teaching and traditional teaching are quite a number. The size of the class in micro teaching is relatively small as opposed to traditional teaching. In traditional teaching, objectives are general while in micro teaching the objectives are specific and relate to behavioral patterns.
