Creative Writing

Jakarta, 30 November 2011

In this sharing session Ms. Devina Mariskova shared her knowledge about creative writing per se fiction writing. There are three aspects to be considered in writing the fiction stories; they are characters, conflict and premise. The first aspect is characters. The readers will find a story interesting when the characters are different from the ordinary people. They should be either exceptionally good or bad.  They should be able to solve all the problems no matter how difficult the situation is. In short, they should be the hero or the story. The writers should be able to completely describe the characters from appearance (physiological dimension), the social status (sociological dimension) and personality traits (psychological dimension). The second aspect is conflict. The conflict occurs when the main character has a main goal where in the middle of the way he or she faces opposition. There is also a constant adversary between the protagonist and the antagonist. The depiction of the story should create a bonding between the two different characters. Finally, the premise — it is the statement of what happens to the characters as the result of the conflict.

Convergent and Divergent Thinking

Jakarta, October 26, 2011

The Sharing Session started with Pak Sonny with his presentation titled “Convergent and Divergent Thinking”. The aim of convergent and divergent thinking is to make students to be able to solve problems, think creatively and critically, make decisions, generate new ideas, analyze information and plan for the future. Basically, whether one has either convergent or divergent thinking usually depends on their brain dominance inventory–right brain thinking or left brain thinking. Convergent thinking manifests itself in the questions which require students to answer questions by putting facts together and constructing an answer; divergent thinking takes the form as the questions which are thought-provoking and require more than one acceptable answer. Divergent questions might create new problem situations and require students synthesize ideas and construct a meaningful solution.

Drawing Tips for Classroom Use

For the second session, Ibu Yudi presented a sharing titled “Drawing Tips for Classroom Use”. As an expert in teaching English for young learners, Ibu Yudi shared her knowledge and skills to make illustration by using simple scribbles and squiggles. As simple as they might get, they could depict emotions,ideas and meanings clearly. The key to success in drawing is exercise, so we spent the whole sessions learning how to practice making straight lines, curls, curves and circles correctly. The outcome was awesome that from combining those scribbles we could make drawings that can convey emotions.

P.S.: We had to interrupt this session because TTD tried to make a good use of this opportunity to give out our farewell gifts to the two presenters, as they are retiring.

Using Windows Movie Maker and Videos as Teaching Aids

Jakarta, February 2 2011

Audio visuals or videos have always been interesting to be used as teaching aids in classes. Therefore, Ghitta Hayati from LIA Kalimalang presented how to create videos using the simple video software, Windows Movie Maker. The reasons why Ghitta chose Windows Movie Maker because of its availability in everyone’s computer and its user friendliness.

Ghitta started the presentation by showing the samples of videos she had worked on. Then she went on with the workshop creating the video clips with the twenty participants at the computer laboratory of LIA Pramuka. Not only creating videos, Ghitta also taught participants how to upload the videos to Youtube and how to burn the videos into DVD format to be available for used by means of DVD player. The video Ghitta has uploaded at Youtube can be seen by following this link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFjcnHVpMto

Drilling Techniques for EC Classes.

Jakarta, November 10 2010

In this Wednesday Sharing Session, Ms. Pranawangsih Yuniarti, a.k.a. Wawa presented what she had attended from the previous Pearson Day. The sharing session covered the reading techniques for children classes. In this session Wawa focused the drilling techniques for vocabulary, grammar, functions and others.
There were some interesting features that she presented regarding teaching English for Children. Firstly, teaching English for children should be fun since it is the first time children encounter the language. Therefore the enjoyment that they get will determine their attitudes in learning English in the future. Secondly, teaching English to children means teaching them language components for future uses, not for immediate uses. Thirdly, drilling plays an important role in the children’s longer retention of the language components. Next, Wawa demonstrated some fun ways of drilling techniques for vocabulary, such as Pass the Flashcards, Touch the Balloon, Sweep It away, The Journey of a Tissue Paper, Ping pong and Mysterious Envelope. Then, Wawa also demonstrated other fun ways of drilling techniques for grammar, functions and others, such as  Give Me Five, Dancing Crazy, First Come-First Served, Active Reading and Kungfu Moves.
All in all the presentation was interesting and the activities were a lot of fun for the participants. It is always fun to join WSS.

Webquest: The Prequel

Jakarta, October 27 2010

Following the materials covered in the “In-Service Training”, Selestin Zaenuddin presented a prequel of how to create on line lessons using Webquest. WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to websites.

Songs: The Magic Tonic of Teaching EFL

Jakarta, August 11 2010

People love songs, and they can be used as a tonic for teaching EFL. Therefore, Mr. Toto Endroyono shared his ideas on how to incorporate songs into the class activities. In this session we were exposed to kinds of songs and which songs suitable to which lessons. There were interesting activities ranging from singing together, filling in the blank lyrics and sequencing pictures to match the song lyrics.

Not only having fun singing together, the participants could also get the idea of incorporating songs into the lessons.  The songs and activities are suitable for students from children classes to adult classes. Participants could also see the list of songs with details to match the lessons.

Teaching Language Skills to Young Learners Through Cooperative Learning

Jakarta, July 28, 2010

This Wednesday Sharing Session featured a presentation from Ms. Maria Florentine Palar, a teacher from LIA Bogor Pakuan. The two-hour session discussed the  implementation of  Cooperative Learning activities in EC classes. Cooperative Learning is a set of instructional methods in which students work in  a small mixed-ability learning teams. In the presentation, it was stated that  Cooperative Learning was very beneficial both for high achievers and low achievers since the former could enhance their sense of belonging, acceptance and caring while the latter would have a chance to receive more help, observe the process of the high achievers go about learning, feel more motivated to try and boost their self esteem.

Some of the activities presented were Round Robin, Numbered Heads, Jigsaw Reading, Think Pair Share, Autobio Poem, Card Game and Scrap book. We had a lot of fun and we enjoyed the session very much.

RATIONALE

LIA is celebrating its 50 years of teaching English amidst considerations that are being raised in the current context of English language teaching. LIA started out with Audio-Lingual teaching practices, which, at that time, seemed to be the most common approach. In the process, as new methods and practices came about, LIA has explored and adopted new teaching practices to optimize language learning.

Today, English has become the language for communication spoken by native and non-native speakers worldwide. The tremendous demands for the use of English in the 21st century have forced language teaching experts and professionals to look into other concerns besides language teaching and learning alone but language teaching and learning in different settings, cultures, and linguistic backgrounds. The profession of English language teaching today has to examine the pros and cons that deal with considerations of World English or World Englishes, English as an International Language, and acceptable standards that should be applied.

To keep abreast with what language teaching experts are concerned with, LIA International Conference 2010 hopes to provide a platform for language teaching experts and professionals to bring in and share new insights, current considerations and problems that impact on language teaching and learning in all of its aspects: linguistic, social, and cultural. LIA hopes that with this kind of dialog, the conference will bring about a better understanding and greater tolerance and acceptance of the differences in communication among world cultures.

AIMS

LIA International Conference 2010 has the following aims:

- To deepen the understanding of current issues related to English Language teaching and learning in today’s world:
World English and World Englishes
Language Standards and Standard Language

- To provide a forum where ELT practitioners and experts share new insights and experience in ELT amidst the      above streams

- To explore the impacts of the above on teaching beliefs and classroom practices

- To look into Indonesia’s position in ELT with regard to the above issues

AUDIENCE

The conference will draw together:

- Experts, teachers, teacher trainers, materials & test writers, curriculum designers, school administrators, student teachers, stake holders and other interested parties in the area of English Language Teaching.

- Educators and sponsors interested in supporting language education.

- ELT related institutions (e.g. book publishers, distributors and representatives).

SPEAKERS

Traditionally, LIA has been able to bring in renowned and reputable personalities as featured speakers. LIA International Conference 2010 will attempt to maintain this proud tradition. Invited speakers representing world cultures – experts, researchers, professionals – taking part in the conference, among others, include:

Learning English and Content:
Enhancing students’ ability
in using English to learn and learning to use English

RATIONALE

The notion that the ability to master English yields opportunities for better education, employment, and career enhancement, particularly in this era of globalization, has brought about changes in English language education.  Education authorities from many countries all over the world are implementing the teaching of subject matters using English as the medium of instruction.  In Indonesia, this has become a growing trend which has manifested itself in the establishment of National Plus schools, Internationally Accredited schools (Rintisan Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional & Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional), for primary and secondary education as well as international classes in higher education.

Consequently, the integration of content and English language teaching has brought about challenges for both content and language teachers. While attention needs to be given to the content teachers in terms of developing their English competencies, similar considerations need to be addressed to the ELT teachers in developing their competencies in subject matters such as Math, Science, and Social studies.

AIMS

This seminar aims to empower English language teachers in facing these challenges teaching students to use English to learn and at the same time facilitating students’ learning to use English. The presentation, workshop, and discussion sessions in the seminar will highlight the relevant topics in response to the issues above.

We believe that participants taking part in this seminar will gain insights on how to enhance their expertise in meeting the growing demands of education authorities and the society.  They will  also get ideas on the kind of techniques they can develop to teach language as well as content when using materials/textbooks set by the their school’s curriculum.

PROGRAMS

* Presentation

An Introduction to Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
This presentation discusses relevant theoretical concepts behind the approach of integrating the teaching of subject matter and language

* Workshop

Theme:

Issues & Challenges in ELT for the Asian Region

Rationale:

In their quest to be global participants, many Asian countries including Indonesia must initiate an active role in commerce, manufacturing, and technology not only in the international community but also within the region. Being the lingua franca, English is the passport to this competitive arena. This makes it an imperative for newly industrialized and developing countries to make English serve its purpose. As such, English language teaching institutions in their respective countries must redefine their roles against a background of diverse and conflicting interests and needs that must be bridged, and yet ensure standards of practices and of practitioners.
