Media for English Teaching
My idea and media in teaching English
English
You may have known that English was
declared as the international language many years ago, a lot of people start to
learn English because it is very important to learn, English is used anywhere,
and anytime and even you might your classmates is an English speaker. as the
world population growth and revolution industrial 4.0 is already done, the use
of English in our daily activities is a must because we don't know what will
happen if people in other countries coming to us and we can't speak English, we
will be doomed.
The importance of media in teaching English
Some people say that English is easy to learn, "Just memorize vocabulary" They said. well, that statement
isn't incorrect at all, but, have you considered a country that doesn't
alphabetical systems as their main letter unit. for example, Japan with its
hiragana, katana, kanji and any other countries that basically the same, such
as Arab, China, Korea, Russia Etc. So it is hard for them to memorize the
English vocabulary because they don't even know how to read the alphabet. try
to figure out how to teach non-alphabet users because I only explain how to
teach alphabetical users.
So what is media?. According to Briggs (1977),
learning media is a physical means to deliver learning content/materials such
as books, films, videos and so on. According to the National Education
Associaton (1969) revealed that learning media is a means of communication in
printed form as well as listening and listening, including hardware technology.
in summary, media are things that used to make teaching activities more
effective and efficient.
So what the media that I use to teach English
Remember that every language is consists
of 4 basic skills, it is writing, listening, reading, and speaking. and what would
rather speaking skills among the four because I believe most people are
struggling in speaking skills. this can happen because they don't confident to
speak or poor vocabulary. as we know that vocabulary is one of the factors that
support students in mastering language skills.
The media that would i choose is
flashcards. I put only commons vocabulary consist of 2,500 to 3,000
vocabulary. with that, you can understand 90% of everyday English
conversations, English newspaper and magazine articles, and English used in the
workplace. The remaining 10% you'll be able to learn from context or ask
questions about. However, it's essential to learn the right English vocabulary
words, so you don't waste your time trying to memorize a huge collection with
very little benefit.
The flashcard should
consist of the vocabulary, its translation, part of speech and the SVO
(Subject-Verb-Object). the flashcard should be printed in various color, for
example :
Subject: Yellow
Verb: Green
Object: Red
by using this kind of media, I believe that students will
understand better and faster because they will remember each vocabulary by the time they use it. Then, to make the media more easy to learn, I have made a game that the system basically came from a game called UNO. The students have to throw their card one by one but it must build a sentence, the first who ran out of card will be the winner.
