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.
v  Worksheets
Match the words to their meaning
1.      Smoker                                                (   ) to make a noisy sucking sound
2.      To slurp                                               (   ) slightly angry

Now listen to the text and fill in the blanks
What ______________________ habits? I think everyone has bad habits. Not everyone ______________________ what bad habits are. Some smokers don’t think smoking is a bad habit. Young people don’t think listening ______________________ on the train is a bad habit. In Japan, slurping your noodles ______________________ that you enjoy your food, but making a noise while eating in England ______________________ . Have you ever tried to break your bad habits? I ______________________ smoking and have stopped leaving things laying ______________________ house. I wish other people would stop their bad habits. I get annoyed when people ______________________ meetings or talk loudly on their phones in public. I also think ______________________ need to think about their driving habits. Perhaps I should ______________________  their bad habits.

Look at these bad habits. Do you have any of them?
(   ) always arriving late                       (   ) sleeping too much                         (   ) fast eating
(   ) watching too much TV                 (   ) becoming an “owl” at night          (   ) nail biting
(   ) skipping breakfast                        (   ) being in love with junk food        (   ) smoking
(   ) being “superconnected”               (   ) becoming last  minute person       (   ) drinking

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.

Summary of 'The Linguistic Genius of Babies' by Patricia Kuhl

Patricia Kuhl tells about a mother in India speaks Koro which is a newly-discovered language. She is talking to her baby. What this mother and the 800 people who speak Koro in the world understand that to preserve this language they need to speak it to the babies because babies and children are geniuses until they turn seven years old. The first critical period in development is the period where babies master which sound is used in their language. There are two things going on during the critical two month period, the first is that the babies are listening intently to us and they are taking statistics as they listen to us talk. Babies are sensitive to the statistics. For example, two mothers speaking motherese to the kids, English and Japanese. So, when babies listen, the babies are taking statistics on the language that they hear. The statistics of Japanese and English is very different. English has a lot of R and L. Whereas the group of intermediates sounds in Japanese is known as t...

Summary of 'Txtng is Killing Language' by John McWhorter

John McWhorter tells that texting spells the decline and fall of any kind of serious literacy or at least writing ability among young people in the United States and now the whole world today. Texting is not writing at all. If humanity had existed for 24 hours, writing only came along at about 11:07 p.m. That is how much of a latterly thing of writing. The first there is a speech, and then writing comes along as a kind of artifice. Speech is much looser. It’s much more telegraphic, much less reflective, it’s very different from writing. In a distant are now, it was common when one gave a speech to basically talk like writing. If we can speak like writing, then logically it follows that you might want to also sometimes write like we speak. One we have think that can receive the message then we have the conditions that allow that we can write like we speak, and that’s where texting comes in. Texting is very loose in its structure. No one think about capital letters or punctuation when o...

The Origin of Studying in English Majors

When I was in senior high school in the second semester of the third grade, I asked for advice of my teachers about choosing the majors to continue my study at university. Many of them advised me to choose English majors in this university. The ir reason was   English majors does not cause unemploy ment because English is an i nternational language that can be used anywhere. Also, English majors in this university has accreditation ‘A’. Actually, I really liked Chemistry and Mathematics subjects since in junior high school, even in senior high school I always have high scores in th ose subjects.

They also agree with my teachers’ choice. But I doubt because I have no basi c on it . However, I said in my heart " I would to try first, I believe I can live it ". The ...
