Our Students are Unique

The goal of teaching and learning process is to achieve the objective ( to make the students understand about the material). To achieve the objective in teaching and learning process, there are so many methods which can be used by language teacher such as Audiolingualism, Suggestopedia, Community Language Learning (CLL), Communicative Language Teaching, Silent Way, and Total Physical Respond.  The teacher also must be able to combine the methods with the technique of teaching such as; lecturing, discussion, etc. Not only method and technique which must be concerned by the teacher but also there is one thing as important, it is Multiple Intelligences.

Multiple Intelligences is the intelligence which everyone has, instead of their interesting in doing something, the way someone study etc. There are 8 kinds of multiple intelligences; they are logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, musical, interpersonal, naturalist and verbal-linguistic. Each kind of intelligence has its criteria and interesting. Everyone may have two or more intelligences but it must be more dominant than others. For example, for the person who has bodily-kinesthetic, they are more active and when they study, they feel happier or more motivated when the teacher do physical activity or movement but the person who has intrapersonal intelligence, they prefer to study by themselves. This is the thing that as a teacher must be concerned by the teacher.

As a teacher we must make a activity in the class which exact with all multiple intelligences because teacher will meet all kind multiple intelligences in one class. It must be considered by the teacher. We have to be able to huddle up all kind of multiple intelligences. It is a challenging for the teacher.

1 ^ST JOURNAL REFLECTION

1.       The advantages and disadvantages after knowing this method, watching the video and present our presentation about Community Language Learning

There are so many advantages which we get after getting this activity like we know that we have to really pay attention about the instruction from lecture and teaching method is flexible. It is not strict with the theory. We also will more build good communication in our team.

We feel that there is no disadvantages of this activity. We assume that everything is a part of learning.

2.       The strength and weakness of our team

©  The strengths of our team: we get the information for this presentation is not only from the video but also from other resources. We combine it in our presentation and we also deliver the message of our presentation clearly. We are quite solid to help each others when others have not understand about the materials.

© The weakness of our team: after getting other resources for our presentation, we did not really concern about the video which has already given by our lecture. We did not really pay attention about the instruction for presenting this material. We also did not compare the theory which we have got with the video. We did not realize about the differences between theory and video for example, in the video, there is no recording the sound of students while discussion but the theory said that, this method encourage the teacher should have same L1 with the students in order to the method can more efficient when giving the instruction, but again, in that video, the teacher and the students have different L1 but the method still works well. The last one is we need to more communicate about our presentation each other in order to we can get the best answer (criticize the theory with the implementation in teacher because the method is flexible depends on the need of students)

3.       What we learn from the video.

Actually this video gives many thing for us. We learn much from this video such as we can know differences the method of teaching. Before watching this video, we did not know about the name of each method and also the real implementation of the teaching method. We already know about the theory of some method in this video, but we never know how these method implement in the class. We also learn about the technique of each method. Although this video is old but it still useful for us to know more about teaching method.

MODELS OF INSTRUCTION

There are so many ways for teacher to teach their students to deliver the material. It is influenced by what the materials are and what method the teacher wants. After I got Principles of Effective Teaching Assessment (PETA) class, I knew about four kinds of model instruction. They are Direct Instruction, Lecture Discussion, Guided Discovery, and Group Interaction. Let’s know about them, one by one.

Direct Instruction is the method which is used for teaching skills and concept. It has the 6 characteristics ; Reviewing the previous materials, presenting new material with logical steps, providing guided practice, giving feedback, providing independent study, reviewing what students have learned. This model of instruction has strengthen and weakness. This model instruction’s strengthen is the concept is really clear because the teacher guide the students to introduce them about the new concept by practicing, so the teacher tried to involve the students to figure out the new concept. The weakness of this models instruction are the students will be more passive because the teacher really take the control of learning.

Lecture Discussion is the method which is used to teach by brief presentation with discussion between teacher and students. The steps in this models are introduction, presentation, comprehension monitoring, integration, the last one are reviewing and closure.

Guided Discovery is the method which is designed to encourage students to do cooperative learning. The steps of this method are introduction and review, the open-ended phase, the convergent phase, closure, and application.

Group Interaction is the method which is used to encourage the students study about something with discussing others naturally. The steps are introduce group work with the task, give the students’ group activity, seat the students based on their group, give time allocation for the group to finish the task, require the students to write everything that they have got, and monitor what they discuss.

I Learn From My Friends

According to my opinion, in previous meeting in PETA class, I have learned many things. We did a micro-teaching to practice about models of instruction.  One team did a micro-teaching while others were guessing what kind of models instruction that team used and also assess they and give them a score for many perspective like the opening, content, elaboration, media and technology they used.     

Actually, I learned how to teach “the way to teach” and what are strengthen and the weakness of that team teaching. I also learn about how to grab the attention of the students. I think that it was the difficult part for me to grab the attention the student because most of my friend said that I am quite unattractive person when I am teaching.

      I also feel difficult to erase my nervous when I am teaching because actually I do not know why I feel nervous but from previous micro-teaching I learn a lot from my friend about the style of their teaching . I also learn about the important thing such as we have to tell the objective of our subject in the beginning of the class. I agree about this because the students will understand like what the teacher expect from the teacher.

Individual Essay: Reflecting Personal Identity among Others Identities

Everything Depends on You!

Everyone in this world has their own identity. It can be different or same with others’ identity. They may have more than one identity in facing others. For example; Budi is a boy, he is also a teacher and he is a Muslim but Rico is a boy, he is a doctor and he is a Christian. Both of them have different and same identity. They are a boy but they have different occupation and religion. How is it? What do you identity think about that? Can they be a friend?

Identity

One of my friend ever said to me that sometimes, a different can make us confuse to make a friend. She said that we will more comfortable with the same identity friend rather than with the different identity. For me, this kind of paradigm can appear disunity. Not the differences of religion only which can make a disunity but also others things such as race, skin color, ethic, education background etc.

According to my opinion, I am disagree if there is someone who make friends with the same identity and refuse a friend with different identity because for me everyone has opportunity to have a friend even he/she is different.  What do you think if you are in that position; you will feel sad, won’t you? Before doing something, I will think twice to avoid I do hurt others feeling because their differences. 

Actually, I have many identities, I am a girl, I am an oldest sister in my family, I am a Muslim, I am a student in SSE, I am from Tanjung Priok etc. Sometimes, I found a friend with same identity but not rare, I found a friend with different identity. Yet I still make friend with them. I still feel happy with friend who has different identity to me. There is no guarantee that a friend with same identity will be our best friend and there is no also guarantee a different identity friend cannot make us happy.

Making a friend with same or different identity is not wrong. Whatever they think about that identity, it depends on with they believe in. Although everyone has a right to choose their friend, maybe for them, consort with same identity can make achieve their best achievement and help them to feel comfortable because they have same vision and mission in life or same views of thinking etc. For people has opinion to consort with different identity, they are not also false because they want to appreciate each others, make a link as much as possible, appreciate a different and think a different as a beautiful thing. Everything is depending on what are you thinking about that……
