Why money is more important than Environment?

          Money is more important than Environment, because if  I have money, I

can  raised at all. Money is something that indispensable and money is one of

many  factors in human life. All human need to spend money, it can buy

everything :  big house, convenience or everything what human want. If don’t

have money, it making difficult to life.

Why environment is more important than Money?

          Environment is more important than Money, because if don’t have

environment, it would be flood, drought, landslides, and rubbish will happen in

the world. Environment reduces air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution,

and noise pollution. If don’t have environment everybody in the world will

dead, because money can not buy love, can not buy sincerity, and the last

money can not buy your life.

Today is the sixth times for study curriculum English teaching management. I learnt about the words that related how to do lesson plan. The teacher told that English lesson plan is emphasize to standard. There are five words that the teacher taught.

          First, Aims are broad statements of what learning you hope to generate. The aim is the point of the whole thing to determine an aim for your lesson, focus on what part of the curriculum who teaching and how to going to achieve teacher’s goals for the students.

          Second, Objectives are the smaller steps that will help the teachers achieve their main aims. Break down their aims into small steps that will lead the teacher and the students to the end goal. It includes Enabling objective and Terminal objective. Enabling objective is lead purpose. It’s often less broad in scope than terminal objectives. Terminal objective is destination purpose. It’s based are reasonably broad in scope.

          Third, Assessment and Evaluation. Assessment is the process of gathering, analyzing, interpreting and using information about students' progress and achievement to improve teaching and learning. Evaluation is the process of determining the value or worth of a program, course, or other initiative, toward the ultimate goal of making decisions about adopting, rejecting, or revising the innovation

To sump up, lesson plan includes aims, objectives, assessment or evaluation and leaning outcome. These are important for me because that is a guideline to write the lesson plan. In addition, If I understand the meaning all of these words I can teach the student correctly. So, these are information that I have to know.

Listening Practice (Week 5)

          Today I was listening to music is walk away, this song can I practice English more.

Walk Away song

Looking back on younger days, the time has passed,
And nothing stays the same. Hey hey hey!
She was such a pretty girl, with glowing eyes and yellow curls. Hey hey hey!
Stars are in a summer night,
She's wishing that they'd fall down through the atmosphere, for a souvenir.
She's waiting for her Superman, her Never land,
Cause he can show the way. Hey hey hey!
Where's her missing piece her mind's been chasing, chasing?

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
You better run away, run away, run away.

She's tellin' tales through telephone
That make you cry, chill to the bone. Hey hey hey!
It's lock and key, electrified,
Hide and seek from dirty eyes. Hey hey hey!
Driving in the rain to somewhere far,
But they've got tattoos stamped upon their arms, of her name in hearts
She doesn't understand that love is what you give, not given up.
Hey hey hey!
Where's her missing piece her mind's been chasing, chasing?

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
No matter what you say, what you say, what you say.

Yeah you better not sleep, because she's waiting, waiting.
She knows all about you; you're in her aim.

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
You better run away, run away, run away

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
You better run away, run away, run away
Either way you're screwed, there's nothing you can do,
No matter what you say, what you say, what you say.

Learning Log inside (Week 5)

Today, This is my fifth in curriculum and learning management in English. I have learned about how to create syllabus and in this class.

          Syllabus is an outline or brief statement of the points of discourse or the content of curriculum. If you want to create about syllabus, first, you must set “Goal or Aim” before you do it. Goal and Aim are same meaning. A both are important for syllabus. You can set goal or aim, for example –Students will be able to + V1 (communicate in English), (choose one skill form four such as listening, writing, speaking and reading) or (in macro skill). You can use one thing and the third thing will good to write your goal. Second, you must set objectives (it will support goal or aim). It can divide 2 type are enabling objective and terminal objective. Then, objective should have performance, condition and standard Third, You must set learning outcome. The last, you must set assessment and evaluation. A both are difference meaning. Assessment use to develop and  do during class, but evaluation use to examine or judge carefully and do after class. Learning language has three way: acquisition, learning and studying. So, learning language form is I+1 = comprehensible.

          To sum up, I think I know about how to create syllabus and apply to do it correctly. However, I must practice it until I understand and can apply.

Listening Practice

       
          Today I listening songs, it can practice in sing English more. Song I listening today is My Heart Will Go On (TITANIC)....

Every night in my dreams 

I see you. I feel you. 
That is how I know you go on. 

Far across the distance 
And spaces between us 
You have come to show you go on. 

Near, far, wherever you are 
I believe that the heart does go on 
Once more you open the door 
And you're here in my heart 
And my heart will go on and on 

Love can touch us one time 
And last for a lifetime 
And never go till we're one 

Love was when I loved you 
One true time I hold to 
In my life we'll always go on 

Near, far, wherever you are 
I believe that the heart does go on 
Once more you open the door 
And you're here in my heart 
And my heart will go on and on 

There is some love that will not 
go away 

You're here, there's nothing I fear, 
And I know that my heart will go on 
We'll stay forever this way 
You are safe in my heart 
And my heart will go on and on

            Today is the 4th week to study Curriculum and Learning Management in English subject. Today I learned about teaching methods and today my friends presents 4 methods in the class, such as : Culture Teaching, Communicative Language Teaching, Teaching English using ICT (web based learning), and Teaching Vocabulary.

                First, : Culture Teaching, Of all the changes that have affected language teaching theory and method in recent years, the greatest may be the transformation in the role of culture. This change reflects a broader transformation in the way that culture itself is understood. In this understanding of "deep culture," language and culture are integral to one another. The structure of language and the ways it is used reflect the norms and values that members of a culture share. And Communicative Language Teaching The origins of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) are found in the changes in the British language teaching tradition in the late 1960s.• Situational Language Teaching (SLT) was the major approach to teaching English as a FL.• Language was taught by practicing basic structures in meaningful situation-based activities.• British applied linguists rejected the theoretical assumptions underlying SLL because the focus on language teaching was the mastery of structures rather than on communicative proficiency.

                Second, Teaching English using ICT (web based learning) Develop skills in designing English writing tasks for blended learning through the use of ICT; Develop a global perspective when connected using ICT, particularly use of ICT to enhance writing skills after class and identifying appropriate online activities to practise written communication with native and non-native speakers; Develop critical thinking and reflective thinking skills when discussing and debating innovative practice with technology integration for language learning and teaching; Develop problem-solving skills when acquiring technical knowledge and skills when designing English teaching and learning activities through ICTs.             

 Last, Teaching Vocabulary, Vocabulary is the knowledge of words and word meanings. As Steven Stahl (2005) puts it, "Vocabulary knowledge is knowledge; the knowledge of a word not only implies a definition, but also implies how that word fits into the world." Vocabulary knowledge is not something that can ever be fully mastered; it is something that expands and deepens over the course of a lifetime. Instruction in vocabulary involves far more than looking up words in a dictionary and using the words in a sentence. Vocabulary is acquired incidentally through indirect exposure to words and intentionally through explicit instruction in specific words and word-learning strategies.

                Things I have learn today is Culture Teaching, Communicative Language Teaching, Teaching English using ICT (web based learning), and Teaching Vocabulary. It can make to more understand to how to teach the student in my future.

 Today is the third week to study Curriculum and Learning Management in English subject. Today I learned about teaching methods and today my friends presents 4 methods in the class, such as : Task Based Learning, Project Based Learning, Listening and Speaking Teaching.

                First, Task Based Learning is useful for moving the focus of the learning process from the teacher to the student. It gives the student a different way of understanding language as a tool instead of as a specific goal. It can bring teaching from abstract knowledge to real world application. A Task is helpful in meeting the immediate needs of the learners and provides a framework for creating classes, interesting and able to address to the students needs.

                Second, Project Based Learning allows teachers to create tasks whose complexity and openness mimic problems in the real world. Students can see the interdisciplinary nature of these tasks, and see that each task may have more than one solution. Students who have the freedom to choose different strategies and approaches may become more engaged in the learning process, and these students will be more likely to approach other problems with an open mind.

                Last, Listening and Speaking Teaching.  Listening Teaching is the language modality that is used most frequently. It has been estimated that adults spend almost half their communication time listening, and students may receive as much as 90% of their in-school information through listening to instructors and to one another. Often, however, language learners do not recognize the level of effort that goes into developing listening ability. And Speaking Teaching, many language learners regard speaking ability as the measure of knowing a language. These learners define fluency as the ability to converse with others, much more than the ability to read, write, or comprehend oral language. They regard speaking as the most important skill they can acquire, and they assess their progress in terms of their accomplishments in spoken communication.

                Things I have learn today is Task Based Learning, Project Based Learning, Listening and Speaking Teaching, it can make me to many knowledge, I  will put these knowledge to use in the future.

LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

          Language is extremely complex Children before 5 already know the complex system that make up the grammar of a language: 

         1. Syntactic 

         2. Phonological 

         3. Morphological 

         4. Semantic 

         5. pragmatic 

         Language Acquisition is a creative process The innateness Hypothesis Language faculty Children acquire Children create Brain is Is innate.

        STAGE IN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION Babbling: linguistic ability. Auditory input Holophrastic stage. Children’s utterance is one word. Telegraphic stage: Starting to put words together into sentences. The words and sentences that children produce at each stage of development conform to the set of grammatical rules. Humans are born with a predisposition to discover the units that serve to express linguistic meaning.

       THEORIES OF BILINGUAL DEVELOPMENT The unitary system hypothesis children initially construct one lexicon one grammar The separate system hypothesis the bilingual child builds a distinct lexicon and grammar for each language. Bilingual children develops their grammar along the same line as monolingual children. The rule of the thumb is that children receive equal input in the two languages to achieve native proficiency in both.

       Teaching Methods Synthetic Approach Bottom- up method Analitical Approach Top- down method Teaching of the grammatical, lexical, phonological, and functional Units of the language The goal is to select topics, tasks that are relevant to the needs and Interests of the learner Grammar translation Content- based instruction
