Cara mangajar bahasa Inggris kepada anak

Cara mangajar bahasa Inggris kepada anak
 banyak cara yang dilakukan, tetapi yang terbaik untuk anak-anak adalah active learning through  playing yaitu dengan kombinasi sound-music movement. dalam bentuk permainan, hal itu bisa mengambil bermacam-macam bentuk, mulai dari jalan-jalan seolah-olah anak berkeliling dunia, bermain peran drama, puzzle, menyanyi, menulis, menggambar, mewarnai, bercerita dan mengeksplorasi  buku, dll.

Kegiatan kegiatan tersebut selain meningkatkan kemampuan fisik, mental dan emosi yang terpenting si anak tidak merasakan pelajaran bahasa inggris itu sebagai beban, tetapi sesuatu yang menyenangkan.

nah untuk mendukung pernyataan diatas, berikut adalah hal hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalambelajar bahasa inggris atau bahasa asing untuk anak ;

1. seseorang dapat mengingat sesuatu yang didengar, dirasa dan dilihat, karena di dalam tubuhnya terdapat  bermilyar milyar sel otak. proses terjadinya ingatan ini dimulai sejak otak menangkap rangsangan yang penting dari lingkungan. kemudian diterima, disimpan, dan diingat kembali.

2. secara umum, perbaikan memori dapat dilakukan dengan dua cara. cara pertama, mengadakan latihan otak ( brain training ). kedua, meingkatkan kemampuan perhatian dan konsentrasi. ini dapat dilakukan dalam bentuk rajin membaca, mempelajari situasi di mana berada, latihan secara teratur dan sistemasi.

3. salah satu latihan tersebut kita ambil dari kata LUPA. L untuk latihan, U untuk ulangan, P untuk perhatian dan untuk asosiasi. kita harus melatih atau mengulang-ulang mengenai suatu hal. kemudian memberi lebih banyak perhatian pada suatu hal. perhatianlah yang sebenarnya merupakan pangkal dasar  untuk tidak mudah lupa.

4. Lupa mempunyapi ikatan dengan emosi. kalau ada suatu kejadian yang mampu melibatkan  emosi seseorang, ingatan itu akan lama tersimpan. karena itu, melatih anak anak berbahasa inggris  dengan mengajak  mereka jalan jalan berkeliling dunia akan menimbulkan pengalaman atau kenangan yang menyenangkan, sehingga  akan lama tersimpan di memori otak mereka.

5. Lewat asosiasi, misalnya untuk mengingat sebuah HURUF A, A is for amber the angry ant theanimal park. pertama tama tama kita akan ulang nama HURUF itu, sehigga terekam di otak. lalu kita asosiasikan dengan mengingat nama seseorang  yang diawali huruf  A, sifatnya, kemiripannya, bertemunya diamana?

6. usahan agar dalam melatih bahasa inggris kepada anak hendaknya jangan dipaksakan agar tidak muncul penolakan karena emosi negatif. libatkan emosi senang, sehigga anak memiliki kesan mendalam  yang sulit dilupakan oleh otaknya. Akhirnya tanpa disuruh pun akan senantiasa berlatih mengulang, memberi perhatian dan berasosiasi sendiri tentang bahasa inggris.

nah jika hal hal diatas sudah dirasa cukup, maka kita praktekan satu persatu tentunya dibarengi kesabaran adalah hal pokok juga kita perhatikan, seperti pada point ke 6 agar semuanya lancar tanpa ada paksaan sehigga timbul kesan senang dan ingin mengulang tanpa disuruh atau dipaksakan.

semoga artikel tentang cara mengajar bahasa inggris kepada anak ini dapat  menambah wawasan anda dalam rangka meningkatkan kemampuan anak anak kita, akhirnya saya ucapkan selamat berjuang dan belatih semoga sukses

brainstorming some ice breaker ideas

brainstorming some ice breaker ideas

I really don't know if these are new to you guys but since I was brainstorming some ice breaker ideas, I decided to share them.

1. Put some sentences on the board that will help them get to know each other, not more than five. For example, with Basic students: What’s your name? / nickname? / occupation?

Put them standing up in two rows facing each other. They’ll have to talk to the person in front of them ask and answering the questions. When you clap your hands, they all move to their left (the ss who are first and last in the row, then change rows.) and continue doing the same thing with the new partner. Feedback with whole class at the end.

games can provide intense and meaningful practice of language

 

From 'Games for Language Learning'

by Andrew Wright, David Betteridge and Michael Buckby
Cambridge University Press, 1984.


'Language learning is hard work ... Effort is required at every moment and must be maintained over a long period of time. Games help and encourage many learners to sustain their interest and work.'

'Games also help the teacher to create contexts in which the language is useful and meaningful. The learners want to take part and in order to do so must understand what others are saying or have written, and they must speak or write in order to express their own point of view or give information.'

'The need for meaningfulness in language learning has been accepted for some years. A useful interpretation of 'meaningfulness' is that the learners respond to the content in a definite way. If they are amused, angered, intrigued or surprised the content is clearly meaningful to them. Thus the meaning of the language they listen to, read, speak and write will be more vividly experienced and, therefore, better remembered.

If it is accepted that games can provide intense and meaningful practice of language, then they must be regarded as central to a teacher's repertoire. They are thus not for use solely on wet days and at the end of term!' (from Introduction, p. 1)

From 'Six Games for the EFL/ESL Classroom'

by Aydan Ersoz
The Internet TESL Journal, Vol. VI, No. 6, June 2000.


'Language learning is a hard task which can sometimes be frustrating. Constant effort is required to understand, produce and manipulate the target language. Well-chosen games are invaluable as they give students a break and at the same time allow students to practise language skills. Games are highly motivating since they are amusing and at the same time challenging. Furthermore, they employ meaningful and useful language in real contexts. They also encourage and increase cooperation.'

'Games are highly motivating because they are amusing and interesting. They can be used to give practice in all language skills and be used to practice many types of communication.'

From 'Creative Games for the Language Class'

by Lee Su Kim
'Forum' Vol. 33 No 1, January - March 1995, Page 35.


'There is a common perception that all learning should be serious and solemn in nature, and that if one is having fun and there is hilarity and laughter, then it is not really learning. This is a misconception. It is possible to learn a language as well as enjoy oneself at the same time. One of the best ways of doing this is through games.'

'There are many advantages of using games in the classroom:

1. Games are a welcome break from the usual routine of the language class.
2. They are motivating and challenging.
3. Learning a language requires a great deal of effort. Games help students to make and sustain the effort of learning.
4. Games provide language practice in the various skills- speaking, writing, listening and reading.
5. They encourage students to interact and communicate.
6. They create a meaningful context for language use.'

From 'The Use of Games For Vocabulary Presentation and Revision'

by Agnieszka Uberman
'Forum' Vol. 36 No 1, January - March 1998 Page 20.


Using Games

'Many experienced textbook and methodology manuals writers have argued that games are not just time-filling activities but have a great educational value. W. R. Lee holds that most language games make learners use the language instead of thinking about learning the correct forms (1979:2). He also says that games should be treated as central not peripheral to the foreign language teaching programme. A similar opinion is expressed by Richard-Amato, who believes games to be fun but warns against overlooking their pedagogical value, particularly in foreign language teaching. There are many advantages of using games. "Games can lower anxiety, thus making the acquisition of input more likely" (Richard-Amato 1988:147). They are highly motivating and entertaining, and they can give shy students more opportunity to express their opinions and feelings (Hansen 1994:118). They also enable learners to acquire new experiences within a foreign language which are not always possible during a typical lesson. Furthermore, to quote Richard-Amato, they, "add diversion to the regular classroom activities," break the ice, "[but also] they are used to introduce new ideas" (1988:147). In the easy, relaxed atmosphere which is created by using games, students remember things faster and better (Wierus and Wierus 1994:218). S. M. Silvers says many teachers are enthusiastic about using games as "a teaching device," yet they often perceive games as mere time-fillers, "a break from the monotony of drilling" or frivolous activities. He also claims that many teachers often overlook the fact that in a relaxed atmosphere, real learning takes place, and students use the language they have been exposed to and have practised earlier (1982:29). Further support comes from Zdybiewska, who believes games to be a good way of practising language, for they provide a model of what learners will use the language for in real life in the future (1994:6).'

'Games encourage, entertain, teach, and promote fluency. If not for any of these reasons, they should be used just because they help students see beauty in a foreign language and not just problems that at times seem overwhelming.'

When to Use Games

'Games are often used as short warm-up activities or when there is some time left at the end of a lesson. Yet, as Lee observes, a game "should not be regarded as a marginal activity filling in odd moments when the teacher and class have nothing better to do" (1979:3). Games ought to be at the heart of teaching foreign languages. Rixon suggests that games be used at all stages of the lesson, provided that they are suitable and carefully chosen.'

'Games also lend themselves well to revision exercises helping learners recall material in a pleasant, entertaining way. All authors referred to in this article agree that even if games resulted only in noise and entertained students, they are still worth paying attention to and implementing in the classroom since they motivate learners, promote communicative competence, and generate fluency.'

From 'Learning Vocabulary Through Games'

by Nguyen Thi Thanh Huyen and Khuat Thi Thu Nga
'Asian EFL Journal' - December 2003.


'Games have been shown to have advantages and effectiveness in learning vocabulary in various ways. First, games bring in relaxation and fun for students, thus help them learn and retain new words more easily. Second, games usually involve friendly competition and they keep learners interested. These create the motivation for learners of English to get involved and participate actively in the learning activities. Third, vocabulary games bring real world context into the classroom, and enhance students' use of English in a flexible, communicative way.'

'Therefore, the role of games in teaching and learning vocabulary cannot be denied. However, in order to achieve the most from vocabulary games, it is essential that suitable games are chosen. Whenever a game is to be conducted, the number of students, proficiency level, cultural context, timing, learning topic, and the classroom settings are factors that should be taken into account.'

'In conclusion, learning vocabulary through games is one effective and interesting way that can be applied in any classrooms. The results of this research suggest that games are used not only for mere fun, but more importantly, for the useful practice and review of language lessons, thus leading toward the goal of improving learners' communicative competence.'

From 'Using Games in an EFL Class for Children'

by Yin Yong Mei and Jang Yu-jing
Daejin University ELT Research Paper. Fall, 2000.


Why Use Games in Class Time?

* Games are fun and children like to play them. Through games children experiment, discover, and interact with their environment. (Lewis, 1999)
* Games add variation to a lesson and increase motivation by providing a plausible incentive to use the target language. For many children between four and twelve years old, especially the youngest, language learning will not be the key motivational factor. Games can provide this stimulus. (Lewis, 1999)
* The game context makes the foreign language immediately useful to the children. It brings the target language to life. (Lewis, 1999)
* The game makes the reasons for speaking plausible even to reluctant children. (Lewis, 1999)
* Through playing games, students can learn English the way children learn their mother tongue without being aware they are studying; thus without stress, they can learn a lot.
* Even shy students can participate positively.

How to Choose Games (Tyson, 2000)

* A game must be more than just fun.
* A game should involve "friendly" competition.
* A game should keep all of the students involved and interested.
* A game should encourage students to focus on the use of language rather than on the language itself.
* A game should give students a chance to learn, practice, or review specific language material.

'Forum' Vol. 35 No 4, October - December 1997 Page 42.


'In an effort to supplement lesson plans in the ESL classroom, teachers often turn to games. The justification for using games in the classroom has been well demonstrated as benefiting students in a variety of ways. These benefits range from cognitive aspects of language learning to more co-operative group dynamics.'
