There were 39 participants who registered, then the judges choose the 10 best lesson plans to be performed in a 30 minute microteaching at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY). The final round was held on April, 27^th 2019 at Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. Noven taught a descriptive text of famous people for 1^st grade of Junior High School.

The panel of judges includes English teachers of junior and senior high school and a lecturer of English Language Education Department of UNY.
