 "Teaching Listening and Speaking" Listening is a basic skill for different learning processes. It is an active behaviour in contrast to reading which is just a receiving of sound waves. There are three basic steps listening involves: hearing, understanding and judging.  Listening has two major intentions, which are to maintain the communicational relation (interactional function) and to impart information (transactional function). The most important factors of which listening is composed are the knowledge of linguistic structures, the numbers of vowel and consonant phonemes (liaison, elision), rhythm (syllable-timed or stress-timed), intonation, prior knowledge, attention and the short- and long-term memory (Sakuma, 2000). There are three different stages of teaching listening: pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening. Pre-listening means that the teacher makes the students aware of a situation and activates their prior knowledge. While-listening means that the teac...

 Learning Development   Learning development  describes work with students and staff to develop academic practices, with a main focus on students developing academic practices in  higher education . Learning developers are academic p rofessionals  who: teach, advise and facilitate students to develop their academic practices; create academic development learning resources; and reflect on their own academic practices through a  community of practice . 4 cognitive stages for child development  What are children capable of learning at various stages in their development?  How do children develop their intellectual skills to react and interact with their environment? How do these cognitive abilities develop, and in what order? Here are the four cognitive stages of childhood development  as identified by Jean Piaget: Sensorimotor Stage: Birth through about 2 years.  During this stage, children learn about the world through their senses a...

CAR may be done in several cycles each of which is repeated in the next cycle if the result is not satisfactory yet with the better revised lesson plan. Each cycle begins with planning, implementing the plan, observing the implementation, and reflecting or evaluating the process and the result of the implementation. The result of the reflection determines the next cycle.  Research activities basically include 4 stages, namely   Observation,  Description,  Analysis, and Explanation.  The observation stage is the stage of collecting data that can be done in various forms according to the nature of the observed data, including interviews, filling out que...

 Assesment Hay everyone, I'm Anatolia and welcome to my blog. Today I want to share with you about Assesment especially Assesment of Language Learning. As we know Assesment is very important.   Function of assesments   Assessment of language learning serves one of two functions: either to measure learners’ proficiency without reference to a language course, or to measure the extent to which they have achieved the goals of a particular programme of learning. Within the latter function it is usual to distinguish between formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment takes place during the course of learning in order to provide learners with feedback on their progress and alert the teacher to any aspects of the course that may need adjustment; it is sometimes referred to as ‘assessment for learning’. Summative assessment takes place at the end of the course and seeks to measure overall learning achievement; it is sometimes referred to as ‘assessment of learnin...

 Teaching Evaluation and Material Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! Today I want to share with you about Teaching Evaluation and Material.  What is material evaluation?  Materials Evaluation is procedure that involves measuring the value (or  potential value) of a set of learning materials. It involves making judgments about the effect of the materials on the people using them and it tries to measure some or all of the following: The appeal of the materials to the learners. The credibility of materials to learners, teachers, and administrators. The validity of the materials. The reliability of the materials. The ability of the materials to interest the learners and the teachers. The ability of the materials to motivate the learners. The value of the materials in terms of short-term learning (important, forexample, for performance on tests and examinations. The value of the materials in terms of long-term learning (of both languageand communication sk...

 Teaching Vocabulary and Grammar Hello guys welcome to my blog! Today I want to share with you about  Teaching Vocabulary and Grammar. As we know Vocabulary and grammar is very important especially for student. So know I want to share seven ways to help students enyoys the grammar. Provide a Context In order to elicit the target language, get the students really interested in, for example, a character, a situation (this process will vary according to the profile of each class). Use language that is easy for the students to understand. Make the situation clear enough for the students to hazard a guess about the target language. And do make it clear that you want the students to come up with the target language! Finally, be sure to spend enough time on the ‘tease’ – don’t jump in too early with providing the target language yourself. Help students to say the target language Make a point of actually asking the students to say something (rather than just listen to you)! Make it cl...

 Learning First Language at Home and at School Hello everyone, I am Anatolia and welcome to my blog.  So now I want to  explain about learn the first language at home and at school.  So what is the first language?   F irst language is the language a person has learned from birth  or t he language learned by children and passed from one generation to the next or  the first language one is taught to speak; one's native language.  Learning through and maintaining first language can help learning in other languages. Some of the numerous benefits of recognising and using first language to support those who are learning in an additional language include: Seeing and being able to use their first language in the school/class environment can help learners to feel included and accepted as part of the school community. Language is intrinsically linked to learners’ identity and emotional well-being and so the use of the language of the home will help lea...

  Learning a Second/Third Language at Home and School Hello everyone, welcome to my blog.  Now I want to  explain about learning the second/third language at home and at school. The second/third language is the language that is not the native language (first language or L1) of the speaker, but is learned later (usually as a foreign language, but it can be another language used in the speaker's home country).  Benefit of learning a second/third language  a. Benefit of Children Begining to learn a new langauge at an early age is much easier than trying to learn later because the language center of is still developing. Learning a new language help stimulate a child's coriosity and makes him or her more receptive to learning in others areas. It has been found that learning a second language help boost children cognitive development, which help their overall academic progress.  Children who learn a second language tend to display more empathy toward other and ar...
