Teaching Listening

Two themes will wind through this discussion. The first is the necessity of supporting students’ learning. Listening in another language is a hard job, but we can make it easier by applying what we know about activating prior knowledge, helping students organize their learning by thinking about their purposes for listening, and if speaking is also a goal of the classroom, using well-structured speaking tasks informed by research.

Perkara Yang Menyelamatkan

Orang yang mengetahui tiga perkara
akan selamat dari tiga perkara:
Pertama, orang yang tahu bahwa Sang Pencipta
tak pernah berbuat salah dalam mencipta maka, dia akan selamat dari mencela.
Kedua, orang yang tahu bahwa Sang Pencipta
tidak pernah pilih kasih dalam membagikan rezeki maka,
dia akan selamat dari iri hati.
Dan Ketiga, orang yang tahu dari apa Tuhan menciptakannya maka,
dia akan selamat dari kesombongan

The one who know three things will be saved in three things:
First, the one who know that God
never make some mistakes in creation then,
he will be saved from mocking.
Second, the one who know that God
never differentiate in administering the 'rizq' or bless.
he will be`saved from jealousy.
And the third, the one who know from what he's created,
he will be saved from arrogant.

Menguasai Tenses Secara Cepat

Untuk menguasai tenses dalam Bahasa Inggris secara cepat dapat dimulai dengan memahamai beberapa hal yaitu, tense (bentuk waktu), modal, past participle, dan progressive (-ing form). Kesemuanya itu merupakan modal dasar dalam penguasaan tenses. Sebagaimana akan dijelaskan berikut:
1. Tense
Bentuk waktu dalam bahasa Inggris utamanya hanya ada dua present (kini) dan past (lampau). Bentuk waktu present biasa menggunakan kata kerja pertama (verb 1) sedangkan past biasa menggunakan kata kerja kedua (verb 2). Contoh: I eat the brownies. (present) I ate the brownies. (past).
2. Modal
Modal yang diapakai dalam pemahaman tenses kita biasanya hanya will (future). Padahal sebenarnya modal tidak hanya will tapi ada bentuk yang lain. Tapi kita fokus saja pada will (akan/future). Pokoknya dimana ada kata 'will' maka bentuknya future. :) Bersambung.....

Scientifically Speaking

From graduate school to retirement, giving presentations is part of the fabric of scientific life. In the course of that life, scientists generally progress from “entrance” poster presentations, to short oral presentations, to longer invited lectures. Although the first edition of this booklet focused on the latter, this version addresses all three forms of presentation because each has its own challenges—challenges that must be identified and met if effective scientific communication is to happen. Although scientific presentations are an accepted means
of accomplishing the exchange of knowledge and information that is essential to scientific endeavor, many posters are ineffective communication tools and far too many bad talks are still being given. If presentations are not of the highest caliber in both content and delivery, communication is fl awed and science is neither properly served nor facilitated. Development of good public speaking skills will also make positive contributions to many other aspects of an individual’s career, given the importance of oral communication in...Get it here.

Teaching Reading

Normally developing children raised by caring adults develop speech and language abilities naturally and without effort. Learning to read is a different process because it involves learning about a symbolic system (writing) used to represent speech. Before children begin to learn to associate the written form with speech, they need to learn the vocabulary, grammar and sound system of the oral language. Research has shown that there is a close connection between oral vocabulary and early reading ability. The ability to attend to the individual sounds within words (phonological and phonemic awareness) is also an oral skill that is closely associated with reading ability. Get it here.

Capturing and Directing the Motivation to Learn

As an academic quarter begins, most instructors at Stanford don’t dwell much on the idea of motivating
students. After all, students here are bright and inquisitive, and have excelled in academic pursuits in large part, it seems, because they know how to focus their energies and attend to business. And the start of a new quarter always brings with it a buzz of enthusiasm and adrenaline, in class and out. But as the quarter progresses and courses settle into a comfortable routine, student interest can appear to flag—and it’s at this point that the urge to reenergize students comes to the fore and instructors begin to ask how they can motivate their students to perform better.
