Abstract
Microteaching has been successful in developing teaching practices of both novice and more experienced educators and in enhancing student learning. At Queen Mary University of London, they have a highly diverse body of students. Because of this, the authors wanted to explore the use of microteaching as a teaching strategy to enhance social justice in higher education (access, fairness, diversity, participation, and human rights). In this chapter, they offer a systematic approach to support academics to fully realize the potential of micro teaching utilizing an operating systems module from the Computer Science and Engineering curriculum to promote social justice for learners. This chapter offers a methodical approach to creating your own micro teaching lesson plan by taking social justice ideals into consideration when teaching in a multicultural context. A reflection on the microteaching session plan is also provided, and potential challenges to implementing this approach are also discussed through considering social justice and intercultural development in the classroom.
