Abstract: Microteaching, as a teacher training technique that can effectuate personal and professional development in pre-service teachers, is part of the participatory paradigm, where learning is believed to occur naturally when students are immersed in contextual and authentic real-life activities. The study included 18 Year-Three English Language and Literature students, aged 21 26, who attended ELT classes at the State University of Novi Pazar in 2020/2021. The main objective was to determine how the pre-service English teachers from the sample perceive microteaching sessions. The employed research instrument was the Microteaching questionnaire, whose aim was to determine the perceived effectiveness of microteaching and giving/receiving feedback. The results show that microteaching had a positive effect on classroom management and self-confidence, with the consistent underlying idea that practice makes them better. These prospective teachers found the feedback received from their professor very helpful for being sincere and tactful. They also found the feedback given to and received from their peers useful since it came from someone being level with them. Judging from the participants’s accounts, it would be therefore beneficial to investigate whether microteaching sessions bring benefits to lesson delivery and to what extent the type of personality shapes future teachers’ perceptions of microteaching.
