She is able to adapt her English language in every situation. She  uses different style in speaking with the others,  with her family environment, with her schoolmates, her lecturer, even when she tries to apply job vacancy. she told about her experience being articulated person. There are many people dislike her accents/style in speaking. She told all about her style in speaking is lingusitics beautification.

And now, she wanted introduce the Chinese creature to us as well. She learnt Chinese character about 15 years. In TED stage, she told us fast method how to learn Chinese language. Since the age of 5 she learned how to draw every shape of Chinese language correctly. She taught us the simple one how to recognize Chinese language, for example, there is a shape of Chinese language, it like a tree, it is symbolized as a person. She taught a lot of symbols that can be interpreted as Chinese language which is called as eight characters radical. They are building blocks for you to create lots more characters. She also explained about 32 Chinese character letters in China.

Teacher/Student Interaction After the teacher explain about the material, the teacher gave the task, and each group was given a “Narrative Text”, and the teacher asked students to discuss and find out the Past Participle (Verb 2) ( it is based on “Simple Past” lesson). During the discussion, some students gave responses and asked a lot of questions actively, they felt free to ask. The teacher moved around the class and made eye contact with the students. The teacher anticipated it very well.   The students were comfortable and relaxed, even during intense intellectual activity, sometimes some students spoke, complained and scream loudly, but the teacher relaxed, and patient to overcome it. The students were treated fairly and with the respect. After 10 minutes, the students must submit the paper to the teacher and the teacher answer the question together with the stude...

Hello, Assalamu'alaikum, I will continue the post that I've posted before, what is the next one? check it out  2. Presentation T he material was explained briefly, the students understand what the teacher told about, even though some students not really understand. The lesson was smooth, sequenced and logical. The teacher firstly introduced “Simple Past”, what is Simple Past, when students use Simple Past and the teacher delivered Simple Past formula, then the teacher start introducing generic structure of Narrative Text which is contained by a Simple Past in it, actually the lesson was not well paced because it was not matching with the syllabus. Material was not presented at the students’ level comprehension, because the teacher used GTM (Grammar Translation Method), not Differentiated Instruction Method, so the teacher only explained the material and the students just listen about it. This method was used, because the students do not have ability to speak Engl...

Then the teacher called the students to check the attendant list, also to know students’ names one by one. Everything was going well in this introduction. After that the teacher begun to teach, the lesson was about “Narrative Text”, it was based on the syllabus. The teacher prepared the “Narrative Text” lesson not very well, because the teacher more focus about Past Tense, she did not teach about “Narrative Text” comprehensively on that whole time. Thus, the material which was taught by the teacher was not match with the syllabus. The teacher should synchronize between the lesson that she wanted to teach and the sylla...

He has the answer why x the unknown is. It is from Arabic which is the reasons as western science and math was really worked out in the first century. This includes Al-jabra in English algebra. In the Arabic language also contained mathematical wisdom, and it influences Europe (Spain). The problem happened when some sounds in Arabic do not be represented by the characters are available in European language. the letter “SHEEN” it like SH the first word of shalan, it means something (something cannot be defines, unknown thing). Just put AL in Arabic and AL –SHALAN means (the unknown thing). The problem also happened in Spanish scholars who were not be able translating this material due to Spanish does not have SH sound. Thus they created another sound the CK sound. Why the X is unknown? because you cannot say “SH” in Spanish.

She told about language loss and the globalization of English. Nowadays, languages are dying in every 14 days but in the same time English is an undisputed global language. All the books, journals are done with English. English is taught to modernize the country and to empower the citizens through education. But she does not think so that English is everything. We cannot pursue others any longer till they get English. She reminded us that for taking lot of intelligentsia did not have to have English (like English test, TOEFL test). There are some many people outside there, producing something which is useful, with the great idea. Mind your language and lets spread the great idea. Don’t insist on English. 

The baby is genius until the age of seven. The baby all over the world using a techniques to learn language and also sound of language, they can discriminate all sound of all languages. When baby listen all they do is taking statistic which sound that they hear. For example statistic of Japanese and English is very different, there are no L and R in Japanese language, meanwhile English has a lot of L and R. The babies can absorb all the statistic of language, unlikely we as adults, we are no longer to absorb kind of that thing. In this investigating of baby’s brain, s we know they have golden of knowledge to determine all sound and language. We are able to see how child’s brain development. 

Stress is cardiovascular disease, everyone have stress experience in their life. She said that stress is very bad for someone’s health. But she is wondering why stress can make healthier.

In the distant era now, everyone might be easy to give the information to someone, we have something in our pocket to share and receive a message. So texting become popular now, we can write the way we talk, the way we say, in his opinion writing is fingered speech, we can use very natural sense, between the way we talk and the way we texting, but he told that nowadays,   the way young people in USA texting their friends is so broke the language, for example when someone text someone else with the word ‘LOL” (laughing out loud) it means shat someone is laughing, but LOL in texting is not indicate “laughing out loud” anymore, because it’s evolved into something that is much subtler. LOL always be used in every single texting, he said that it’s marker empathy which is called pragmatic particles in linguistics context. In conclusion he said texting is the new way people writing which is developing by using writing skills. 

She told about her experience in teaching over the years, and how to overcome students’ problem and how to teach students well. From Winconsin and move to Arkansas and taught a course which is called American Government, from there she learnt about everything, how to teach student, he got lots experience there. From Arkansas she moved to Arizona, and taught different subject, she taught about Geography. From there she also had great experience. From Arizona he moves to Pennsylvania until now, she teaches there. From the experience that she had over years in teaching, she told that the main point is if we continue to think that education is about coming to school and to get information, then embracing the failure, it means we are missing that the original goals of education. So that is impossible, if we have education with the good quality

In that video, she little bit told the story about her experience as a deaf person who cannot hear the sound but must be living in the area which is the majority is interacting with sound. She tries to watch how people behave and respond to sound. She terms it as sound “etiquette”. She told that in deaf culture movement is also a sound.

There are a lot of manias in this world, there are sport mania, music mania, religion mania, mania can be useful can be dangerous. The world has new mania, mania for learning English. For example in china, China learns English by screaming the English sentences and shouts the sentences out together. 2 billion in this world learn English. In china you learn English start from 3rd grade by the law. That’s the reason why china is the largest people who speak English. Why English? Because the opportunity for life, for education and for the future. English is not a tsunami which can erase others languages. English is the world second language, you can discuss about world problem or a global conversation. English is language for problem solving. English mania is representing hope for better future.

Letter Grades?  In my perspective I am disagree with Letter Grades, by grading students with this way, there is a gap between smart students and low students, it is surely not good for those who have low score, they feel sorrowful, it can break their spirit in learning. It can lead them to do cheating, because they think that by getting an “A” problem will solve, then they decide to cheat. It is surely contrary with the aim of learning itself. Because learning is not about score or the result but, process to get the knowledge. Thus, for teacher, it is better to use another way to assess students. There are a several ways to evaluate a student, for instance like narrative evaluations, where the teacher gives a comment by using letter as a media. On that paper teacher will write some achievement, some correction, for knowing student understanding with the materials that teacher has given. Theses evaluations replaced a grade to some comments as a supplement for grading student. Thi...

Long History of High-Stakes Test  Gregory  J.Cizek  University of North Carolina at Chapell Hill From “Long History of High-Stakes Test” we can see that High-Stakes Test is not effective to measure student, from the history we can conclude, High-Stakes Test is totally cruel to adapt, the history shows that, when the tribe of Ephraim tried to cross the Jordan River, they wanted them to pronounce “Shibboleth”, we may know the Jordan River citizens gave a test to them, if they can not pronounce “Shibboleth” correctly, they was killed by Jordan River citizen, from the history we can see that situation is like violence, when something have to measure by giving a test to produce a perfectness result,  when you fail to do that, you can not pass the test, and it becomes a high risk. We can summarize that High-Stakes Test can not completely apply for assessing students, nowadays, an assessment is not solely using a test, test is not everything, student can not be as...

picture source?  clich here For this time I would like to write about being a teacher. This is one of precious job in the world. Teaching is a verb which makes you feel strong. Teaching is all about patience, people might say no insurance, but don’t be panic, the reward will be fantastic, trust me, it’s not just an identity and poetry, but you can feel it through your veins and your heart continuously. When you want to teach students, there are lots things that you get, there are story, history, experience, patience, and strength.

Many people must be a teacher, at least for their children. They cannot avoid that thing, it is naturally happen. Talking about being a teacher, we talk about lots activities.

We can call it like “Bullying” now. Do you know how was my reaction?

We had Biology midterm at that time, the questions were quite difficult to answer. M...

The significant role of English is increased by the expanding circle of the English users in some countries where English is used as a foreign language such as China, Thailand, and Indonesia (Kachru, 2009, as cited in Suryanto, p.75, 2014).
