Medias for Teaching English II

1.      Audio Visual Media

v  Description

I used this video to teach about Procedural Text for the first grade of Senior High School. I got the video from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBxv1wDy5GM&t=216s. Besides teaching about procedural text, the students also can practice their listening and how to catch the information from watching. Before I play this video, I teach them about procedural text (definition, Its purpose, language feature, generic structure and an example) approriate with the 2013 curriculum. After they understand about the material, finally I play this video as an exercise. I give each of them the worksheet and they should write the information down which they get from the video. For the first, I will play the whole of video and ask them to enjoy it. Then, I will replay it twice and I will pause it per step in order they can catch all of the information. After that, I choose some of them to go forward and retell the steps for doing Umrah based on the video.

5. Audio Media

v  Description

I took the audio from http://listenaminute.com/b/bad_habits.html. It is about Bad Habits. Actually, there is no specific topic in 2013 curriculum for this audio. Therefore, my purpose to show the students this audio is only to practice their listening skill, how they catch the information from the audio because commonly they only catch the information from their teacher. This video can play to all grades students in Senior High School.

 I provide three worksheets. For the first I ask them to match the words to their meaning. This will help them to fill the next worksheet, if they able to match the words to their meaning, later on it will be easy to fill the blank because they have  basic about what they will listen. For the last worksheet, I ask them to introspect themselve about their bad habits.

For the audio, when I play it, I will pause per sentence so that they can get all the information. I will play it three times. After they finish it, I will ask them one by one about the answer. One answer for one student. For the homework, I ask them to make one paragraph about their bad habits and explain how their effort to stop it and read it in front of the class to their classmate in the next meeting.

6. Technological Media (PREZI)

v  Description

For the technological media, I used Prezi to help teaching learning process in the classroom.

Prezi is a software that main function is almost the same as Power Point, which is for internet-based presentation. In addition to presentations, Prezi can also be used as a tool to explore and share ideas on virtual canvas. Prezi uses Zooming User Interface (ZUI), which makes this software has its own distinctive features and advantages that allow the Prezi users to zoom in and out of their presentation media.

In this meeting, I would teach about Recount Text for the first grade students of Senior High School. On prezi, I write all of the material of recount text (definition, language feature, generic structure, and an example). I also provide an exercise related to recount text on the Prezi.

After I teach about that material, I also introduce them about Prezi and how to make it so that they can also use this application if they should to present their presentation. I think this is more attract students’ attention than Power Point.
