Synonym and Homonym Of Listening

SYNONYM

What is a Synonym?

A synonym (sin–uh-nim) is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. When words or phrases have the same meaning, we say that they are synonymous of each other. The term synonym comes from a combination of the Ancient Greek syn, meaning with, and onoma, meaning “name.” Synonyms are regular and essential parts of everyday language that we use almost without thinking. They come in all parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and so on. What’s more, synonyms are so important that there is a whole reference work dedicated to them, called a thesaurus—it’s a dictionary of synonyms!

Examples :

Here are some synonyms of words you use every day:

Bad: awful, terrible, horrible

Good: fine, excellent, great

Hot: burning, fiery, boiling

Cold: chilly, freezing, frosty

Easy: Simple, effortless, straightforward

Hard: difficult, challenging, tough

Big: large, huge, giant

Small: tiny, little, mini

Now, read the three sentences below:

The small child was quickly eating a cold ice cream cone, which gave him a bad headache.

The little kid was rapidly gobbling a frosty ice cream cone, which gave him an awful headache.

The youngster was speedily consuming a freezing ice cream cone, which gave him a terrible headache.

As you can see, the three sentences above share the same situation, but, Sentences 2 and 3 paint a better picture because they use synonyms for some of the dull words in Sentence 1. Words like “rapidly,” “gobbling,” “awful,” and “terrible” are much more descriptive than “quickly,” “eating,” and “bad”—they have the same meanings as Sentence 1, but stronger connotations.

Types of Synonyms

Synonyms exist as parts of speech. Here are some examples:

Verbs

Teach, instruct, educate

Seek, search, look for

Nouns

Teacher, instructor, educator

Test, exam, assessment

Adjective

Smart, intelligent, clever

Dumb, stupid, slow

Adverb

Very, really, extremely

Quietly, silently, without a sound 

Importance of Synonyms

Since word choice is everything in language (probably the most crucial part!), the importance of synonyms is beyond measure. Synonyms make language more interesting, more meaningful, and more relevant. They have a huge, central role in word choice for both prose and poetry. In fact, you could argue that poetry wouldn’t even exist without synonyms—one of the main reasons we use them is to be descriptive, creative, and expressive, and poetry relies on those three things. Imagine what writing, reading, and speaking would be like if there were only one word for everything! Language would be boring, and would have no room for creativity.

The way words are chosen and used is often what defines a piece of literature; so, synonyms allow all authors to develop their own styles and voices when creating their works. Another main reason we use synonyms is because words often share the same meanings but have different connotations (a word’s implied meaning). For example, you might say “the soup’s aroma was in the air,” which makes it sound delicious, but “the soup’s odor was in the air” makes it sound terrible. So, an author chooses a synonym based on its positive, negative, or neutral connotation. This helps writers say what they mean, and how they mean it.

Examples of Synonyms in Literature

As mentioned, poetry probably wouldn’t exist without synonyms. In the poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” William Wordsworth describes an afternoon walk that was particularly special for him. In the selection below, he uses synonyms to help his readers imagine the scene that he saw:

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Here, Wordsworth uses the synonyms “crowd” and “host” to express that he saw a large number of daffodils, which made them much more magnificent. It’s a technique he is using to emphasize the beauty of his experience. By using two different words with the same meaning, he is able to paint a better picture with his words.

HOMONYM

During the pandemic, universities will need to integrate ideology and technology, vigorously pushing basic organizational ideals via global digital trends. This concept journal proposes a new way of thinking about change.

Research Methods
Researchers at universities use qualitative methodologies to assess student happiness and the effects of their digital arts experience.

Result and Discussion
Digital Arts is part of culture under the trend of global digitalization. It is a description of digital technology and art, which is associated with new media created by digital.
Moreover, these experiences enable users to explore and learn new problems through synchronous or asynchronous learning and use visual presentations and products to evaluate the quality of digital technology and new knowledge. Conversely, new media technology depends on the tools and interfaces used which are generated according to users’ needs and can stimulate users’ interest.
The perceptual experiences that technology brings to users are its value and ease of use, feedback, and clarification of information, affecting their beliefs and attitudes towards technology.
Furthermore, Chowdhury (2020) highlighted that the interactivity of the virtual classroom creates an active learning environment and positive experiences for teachers and students since technical aids create a collaborative environment for users in universities and provide users with an overall experience through physical and online modes.

Conclusion
This concept journal intends to educate universities and other educational institutions on how to successfully promote organizational culture and consolidate the cultural standing of university organizations in today’s educational environment by utilizing available digital technologies. Universities are grappling with the task of developing new rules in order to adapt to the digital teaching environment. During the epidemic, universities are faced with the task of establishing new rules in order to adapt to the era of digital teaching.

Introduction

The link between process and organizational innovation, product, market, and technical innovation, and social and environmental sustainability was investigated in this study. The findings revealed that social and environmental sustainability is influenced by process and organizational innovation, which is mediated by product, market, and technological innovation performance. Following that, better performing firms support methods tha 50t seek the enterprise’s global sustainability. When addressing the characteristics of innovation, performance, and sustainability together, the model employed in this study is larger than that employed in earlier studies.

Research Method
Because the relationship between the Process and the Results is descriptive and quantitative, this research is descriptive and quantitative. Product, Market, and Organizational Innovation, Social and Environmental Sustainability, and Product, Market, and Organizational Innovation Industrial businesses’ technical innovation performance was statistically validated.

Result and Discussion
The research realized that innovation has an indirect effect on sustainability through performance. Performance depends on innovation. Therefore, if an organization strives to improve performance, it needs to focus on creating an environment that is opened to innovation. This study demonstrated a positive and significant relationship between innovation and performance and that a manager who focuses on improving innovation also helps to improve performance.
Process innovation can use manufacture, goods production, or services, either if they are new or significantly improved. Innovation can occur by making significant changes in new media’s concepts/strategies, or the use of techniques for promoting product marketing. As a conclusion, the managerial effort in process and organizational innovation can be defined as a mechanism for improving performance in product, market, and technical innovation of industrial companies in Chapecó, Santa Catarina, Brazil. It was clear that process and organizational innovation have no direct effect on social and environmental sustainability, but they have an indirect effect mediated by performance.
As for the performance in product innovation, there is the likely effect of introducing a new product or significant changes in aesthetics, design or other subjective changes, at least in one of the products, or even introducing a new or significantly improved product to the national market. The market performance results in maintenance and expansion of the company’s market share, as well as the opening of new markets. Finally, technical performance provides an improvement in the quality of goods or services, expansion in the variety of goods or services offered, powered by operational flexibility, increase in production or service provision capacity, reduction of production costs or of services provided. As a conclusion, good performance helps socio-environmental sustainability.

Conclusion
The study’s goal was to look at the link between process and organizational innovation, product, market, and technical innovation, and social and environmental sustainability. Aside from that, few studies link performance to sustainability’s socio-environmental components.
This relationship has ramifications because high-performing institutions create a conductive climate for socio-environmental sustainability. Organizations with poor performance, on the other hand, lack the resources and time of management to devote to their socio-environmental practices.
This result could be explained by the fact that companies that are more concerned about environmental sustainability are also concerned about preserving good environmental conditions for the community around them, so they adopt cooperation practices that include stakeholder education and environmental awareness.
Furthermore, companies that are concerned about social aspects of sustainability look for ways to contribute to and improve the quality of life of those in their immediate vicinity, beginning with buying from and training close suppliers, which generates business opportunities, income, and tends to improve the social indicators of the surrounding community. Another theoretical contribution aims to address the scarcity of sustainability-oriented innovation studies aimed at micro, small, and medium-sized businesses, as Klewitz and Hansen have warned.

  • ABSTRACT

The objective of the research is to know the improvement of the students’ reading comprehension using double entry journal technique at the second year students’ of SMA Neg. 1 Pasui. This research is a classroom action research consist of two cycles, the mean score of the students’ reading comprehension for diagnostic-Test is 5.95 which is categorized as poor classification. While the mean score of the students’ reading comprehension in cycle I was 6.39. It is higher than the students’’ D-Test. But the result was still not significant, because it is still categorized as fair and under the KKM 60. So the research is continued to the cycle II and the mean score of the students’ reading comprehension of cycle II was 6.82. Having analyzed the data, it can be stated that the students’ reading comprehension at the second year in class XI of SMA Neg. 1 Pasui is poor level before applying the double entry journal technique, but after applying the technique in the second cycle, the students’ reading comprehension is classified as good categories.

  • INTRODUCTION

Reading is one of the four language skills that should be mastered in language learning. It is usually taught and integrated with the other language skills (listening, speaking, and writing) Generally, the teaching of reading as a foreign language (EFL reading) in Indonesia aims at enabling students to read and comprehend the texts and other materials written in English. Students are expected to master skills in the level of literal, interpretative, and creative comprehension. It is shown in the most of students’ handbook content that is dominated in text. Unfortunately, Indonesian students are still lack of skills in reading comprehension. Especially, the results of the preliminary study conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Pasui. It shows that students in this school get difficulties in answering questions related to English texts given to them. Besides that, the students’ average score of reading achievements conducted in the preliminary study is quite poor.

Journal entry technique let the students to read the text and also give them opportunities to discuss or share their problems with their friends. Moreover, this technique is very useful because it can be used as a tool to increase the students’ speaking ability in the form of class discussion.

Using this technique, teacher asks the students to write down what they think interesting in the reading text. Besides, the students are also encouraged to write any questions, confusion related to a text. The students may also write some responses to the text. That why this is called as a journal entry technique. By reading this journal, the teacher can make a judgment about the students understanding.

  • THEORETICAL

Journal entry technique is a strategy which enables the students to record their responses to text in preparation for class discussion. The students have the opportunity to express their thoughts and become actively involved with the material they read. As the corner stone of such a communications method, student journals have proven simple, yet effective”. In this technique, teacher introduces a passage of text to the students, then the students write a response to a particular quotation from the reading text, which they think the most interesting or the most difficult part. After that, they bring their journal into the class to do a discussion, to do a paired annotation, or for group activity.

  • RESEARCH METHOD

This research uses classroom action research (CAR). The research will be conducted in SMA Negeri 1 Pasui in August-September 2011-2012 academic year.

The research subject is the eleventh year students of SMA in 2011-2012 academic years. The class consists of 30 students with 18 women and 12 men.

The Independent variable of this research is the Journal-Entry Technique; the important process to increasing the student’s reading comprehension. While

Dependent variable of the research is the students’ literal and interpretative comprehension. There are three instruments used namely observation sheet aims at finding out the students’ data about their presence and activeness in teaching learning process, questionnaire aims at finding out the students’ responses toward teaching learning process by using Journal-Entry Techniques, and Facts test whish was to get information about students’ reading improvement after teaching learning process end.

While the mean score of the students’ reading comprehension in cycle I was 6.39. It is higher than the students’’ D-Test. But the result was still not significant, because it is still categorized as fair and under the KKM 60. So the research is continued to the cycle II and the mean score of the students’ reading comprehension of cycle II was 6.82. Having analyzed the data, it can be stated that the students’ reading comprehension at the second year in class XI of SMA Neg.1

RESEARCH RESULT : The result of the finding shows that the strategy of double entry journal technique can improve the student achievement in reading comprehension. They are able to understand the material given well. It can be seen by their mean score of the cycle I (6.48) and cycle II (6.86). They second cycle higher than cycle I and D-Test. After seeing the result of all research findings, there are still many students’ get low and it is still far from perfect. In first post-test, more than a half number of students seventeen get poor (56.6%), four students classified as fair (13.2%), there are classified as fairly good (10%), four classified as good (13.2%) and there are two students classified as very good (6.6%).

The rate percentage of the student achievement in second test shows significant improvement of student achievement in reading comprehension. The number of students’ who get poor in cycle II is lower (20 %) than cycle I (56.6%). The highest improvement of the students’ achievement in cycle II is in fair classification, from fur students’ (13.2%), to 12 students’ (40%). Six students’ classified as fairly good (20%), there are students’ classified as good (10%) and also three as very good (10%). It sign that giving second cycle is very important because it can help to overcome the students’ weakness in cycle I. At the end of the cycle I, the research made a reflection to see the weakness and then made a correction. The result of the reflection showed the positive impact in the second cycle. The students’ more active than before because the changing of the way in learning.

DISANVANTAGES REASEARCH : Not all students like reading, so it become an additional task for the teacher. Teacher must be provide guidance to the student who has problems with the reader so that he can start to like reading.

ADVANTAGES RESEARCH : By using this method the teacher can easily find out the reading comprehension of the students’. And with double entry journal technique, students’ can more easily understand it.

CONCLUSION : The use of double entry journal technique in presenting the reading comprehension material at students of class XII of SMA Neg. I Pasui in Enrekang improved the students’ achievement significantly. It can be concluded that the application of double entry journal technique in teaching reading comprehension is effective to improve the students’ reading achievement of SMA Neg. I Pasui in Enrekang regency.

How To Read A Scientific Paper Quickly & Efficiently

  •  Skim the abstract

Skimming the abstract first will allow you to get somewhat familiar with the topic at hand. However at this point it’s unnecessary to read through the methodology, data, or most of the other information included in the abstract. What you should read here is the reason for the study, find out why they felt the need to do this research in the first place and then you can determine if reading further will be worth your time.

There are millions of scientific papers. You do not have the time, the inclination, the brainpower, or any ability to read them all, so don’t bother trying. What ever topic you are perusing will probably have a substantial amount of research around it, and if it doesn’t then it probably will soon. Such is science.

  •  Read the conclusion

The conclusion of the paper is generally the last paragraph of the discussion and it summarizes what just happened with more detail than the introduction.

The conclusion is relevant to understand at a high level what the authors did and why they did it. If you read the conclusion and its not relevant to your scientific inquiry then consider moving on to a new paper at this point (see step 5).

  •  After the conclusion, read the results

The conclusion will give you insight into what the results mean so read it first otherwise the results will likely mean nothing to you anytime soon.

  •  Read the methods section

If you are sure the results and conclusion are relevant to your topic of inquiry, then you should read the methods section and dive into how the results were actually found.

If you are not a scientist then much of this methodology will be irrelevant, but by reading it you will get a big-picture sense of the type of research being done (eg; a group of lab rats were fed gluten free yogurt while another group were fed yogurt containing gluten).

If you are a scientist then you will be looking much deeper into the exact research methodology, and, being a scientist, you will probably be looking to either replicate their methods or to poke holes in it and do it differently. Such is science.

  •  Start this process over again with a different paper

At the bottom of your paper there will be a number (often lots of numbers) of reference papers.

Science is largely built on references so if you have a paper that has zero references then it’s probably not a scientific paper…

Find the references that are relevant to your query then go forth and do this process over again.

Reading a scientific paper should be a quick task granted you have access to it.

Understand that most of the papers you will encounter have absolutely nothing to offer you and your specific query, so its important to move through them fast otherwise you will waste a lot (an awful lot) of time reading things which are interesting but not relevant – this can be fun, but it can also be tedious if you are trying to learn about something specific under a deadline. Blast through them quickly and you will have time to comb through the relevant papers later.

ARTICLE REVIEW : EXPLORING THE INTEGRATION OF MALL INTO EFL LEARNING FOR INDONESIAN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Nurul Aini

1910631060039 (4C)

http://ejournal.umm.ac.id/index.php/celtic/article/download/14090/pdf

Advantages of the article :

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) devices can be very beneficial to students in activities activities, especially in learning English like English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Mobile devices are said to replace personal computers and provide a learning platform that can gain wider access, more affordable, intuitive, and innovative languages and practitioners to learn everywhere.

Disadvantages of the article :

The application of the MALL method will certainly be very useful for learning, seeing that children are now very intelligent in using technology, even though parents must still supervise their children. However, there are not a few parents who do not understand technology (GAPTEK) so that they make children free to play gadgets that are feared to fall into bad things.

Is good communication so important? These are some of the factors that cause bad communication and how to solve it

belajarekonomi.com

Communication is a process of delivery of information (messages, ideas, idea) of the one part to the other party. In general, communication is done orally or verbal that can be understood by both parties. If no verbal language that can be understood by both, communication can still be done by using the body’s gesture, showing certain attitudes, such as smiling, shook the head, shrugging. This way is called nonverbal communication. Communication may occur if there is similarity between the delivery of messages and people who receive messages. Therefore, communication depends on our ability to understand one with others. Through communication, someone’s attitude and feelings or groups of people can be understood by others. However, communication will only be effective when the message conveyed can be interpreted by the recipient of the message.

Good communication skills are very important to establish and strengthen relationships. Without communication and interaction, all human relationships become meaningless. In addition, good communication and interaction can also make someone superior to others during work interviews. Communication itself has benefits in all fields. Not only that, the good communication ability can also change the life of a person.

Here are 3 reasons importance in good communication.

1. Order arrived exactly.

Good communication ensures the correct exchange of ideas and views so that there is no confusion. If a matter is not well communicated, then people will be difficult to understand. If left, the problem will arise as an impact.

In the early stages of life, a child will be taught and learn many things from others. Communicate with them through words and good actions, can give you a impression in them. In addition, they can also grow into a better person.

2. Communication is needed in various jobs.

Every job requires communication. Not only does it function to establish and connect one person to another, communication also plays an important role in a planning, coordination, and information.

Effective communication can also inspire many people to fight for something. Therefore, communication is something that is responsible for changing the lives of many people, with a note: it should be done effectively.

3. Strengthen relationships.

Good communication skills are very important to build and strengthen relationships. Without communication and interaction, all human relationships are meaningless.

Here are the effects of ineffective communication:

1. Cause Misunderstanding.

Misunderstandings arise when each individual has different understandings and perceptions and is unable to equalize each other’s perceptions. This could be because the two individuals who communicate with each other have different backgrounds and thoughts. It could also be because the delivery or the form of the message is not quite right so that it creates a different perception.

2. Cause Misinformation.

Misunderstanding also leads to receiving misinformation. If misunderstandings persist and there is no justification, someone will continue to carry wrong information. This misinformation can lead to other problems that will lead to improper work results.

3. Give a Negative Impression.

Messages that are not well received by the recipient of the message can have an impact on the appearance of a negative impression on the sender of the message.

4. Triggering Conflict / Disputes.

Negative impression that lingers too long on each individual that has misunderstanding will damage inter-personal relationships. If this the case, the problems he is facing can actually lead to a personal matters. Such problems like tend to be more difficult to solve.

5. Stretch Social Relations.

If there are already disputes, it is likely that the disputing individual relationships will automatically stretch if there is no immediate settlement. In addition, if communication is ineffective, one may be more reluctant to communicate with each other. As a result, social relationships become roasted.

6. Triggering the Ongoing Conflict.

The prolonged conflict due to stretched social relations is the last and most dangerous result that can arise just because poor communication problems.

Then, what are the factors causing communication disorders we need to be aware of? Here are some of them.

1. Language barrier

Language is a unified message system that we use to communicate in general. Therefore, if we do not know the language system of the interlocutor, or vice versa, the interlocutor does not understand the language we use to communicate, then this will prevent us from communicating properly. Language is one of the factors that influence communication quite a lot, especially if communication is done orally.

2. Perception

Perception of the speaker or listener can affect the results of the communication carried out. It could be that the communication results are very different from what was expected by the speaker, because of the listener’s perception of the speaker. For example, a government that submits an increase in taxes is considered money by the people because of the perception that the government is more often pay attention to themselves and ignoring the interests of the people.

3. Message is not clear

The message is not clear of course will interfere with the communication done. For example if we write a letter, but our writing can’t be read well, then the person we send the letter will find it difficult to read it. In addition, the message structure we write can also affect the level of success of the listener to the message we make. Therefore an unclear message often becomes a communication disorder.

4. Media is damaged or disturbed.

In conveying the message, sometimes we also use a particular medium like a handheld phone or other communication media. One of the factors that cause communication to be disturbed is if the media used to communicate damage, either mild or severe. Damaged media is also still one of the obstacles of writing communication that is difficult to overcome when used conventional media such as paper and so on.

5. Other Communications Sources are entered.

In addition to some of the above causes, the subsequent communication disorder is the existence of other communication sources issued the same voice or message so that disrupt the receipt of the message carried by the communicant. For example at a party, we talk to our friends in the moment hard music is play, the communication we do can be done harder.

6. The source of the message is too weak. One of the causes of the next communication disorder is the existence of a weak order source. This can happen to communication directly or use sound as a medium to convey messages. The too weak sound will make it difficult for the audience to listen to the message conveyed by the communicator, thereby communication interruption when this happens. To be clearer, you can imagine the personal intercourse process when one of the parties involved in communication feels disorder in the vocational tape. Surely it will disrupt the current communication instead of?

7. Physical limitations on speakers or listeners

The factor causes the next communication disorder other than some of the above causes is the physical limitations of the speaker or listeners. For example in voice communication, if the listener of the deaf, then of course communicators can’t communicate well if communication is done using voice messages. Instead, the mute communicator will not be able to communicate well if they should rely on the sound.

8. Understanding of Dictions

Understanding of non-perfect diction can also cause interference to the communication process conducted by communicators with communicant. For example, if we talk to certain people using a diction of the one that they do not understand, then the message we convey will also be difficult to understand perfectly by those who do not understand the intent of the dictions.

9. Talk style or language style

The style of speech or language style, can also be the cause of the understanding of the understood to understand, or the message is understood by mistaken, so that is one of the causes of communication disorders that tend to be common. For example if people who often communicate with a speech style are not to the point, it will make it difficult for the communications who often speaks using the speaking style to the point or directly on the main concise.

10. Culture

The culture phenomenon can also hamper the process of communication. Those who were born and live in the culture of Surabaya, may be having trouble communications with those who live and live in the solitary culture of the solo or maybe the others. This culture factor is closely related to the phenomenon of a speech style or a language style that can also be one of the causes of communication disorders. Therefore, it is well learned whatever culture is around the parties involved in communication because it may be affecting the perception of dictions used in communication. One example for example is on intercultural communication.

Well, here is how to improve incomplete communication.

1. Perception

Communicators should be able to predict whether the messages to be presented are accepted by the recipient of the message. If the prediction is right, the Audience will read or receive the response correctly. Audience as a recipient of the message, then will anticipate the communicator’s reaction to compile the message received for them, while making adjustments to avoid misunderstandings in the communication.

2. Accuracy

Audience has a framework. In order for communication to achieve the target, communicators need to express the thing to be presented in accordance with the Audience’s Framework. If ignored, miscommunication arises.

3. Credibility

In communicating, communicators need to have a belief that his audience is the person who is trustworthy. Likewise, the communicator must have a belief in the core of the message and the intention they want to convey.

4. Control

In communicating, Audience will give a reaction or response to the message of Yan submitted. Their reaction can make a communicator laugh, cry, act, change the mind or be gentle. This is determined by the intensity of the reaction that is heard by the conjunction by the communicator. In contrast, the audience reaction depends on success or not the communicator controls his audience when communicating.

5. Compatibility / harmony

Good communicators can always maintain a pleasant friendship relationship with the audience so that communication can run smoothly and achieve its goals. A good communicator will also respect and succeed in giving a good impression to his audience.

Tips and Strategies for Success in the TOEFL test: Reading Section

TOEFL is a English test that tests the ability of prospective students in reading, listening, writing and speaking in English. Generally the university in the United States and Canada will ask for TOEFL values, and other countries such as Australia have also begun to accept the value of this test. Requirements given by the University while registering differently, and of course you want to achieve the best value in your TOEFL test to prove that you are able to follow all classes and activities during college outside. Read the tips from hot courses about how to do the matter in the spying, listening, writing and especially in this article, tips for Reading parts.

As a student at the University of Foreign Affairs, of course you will read many textbooks in English. TOEFL will test your ability in this regard, in the following format. You will be given 3 to 4 read texts on a specified random topic. According to the ETS site, the institution creating TOEFL tests, the text of the reading is usually taken from the books used by university students, then the rate of complexity is very much right with what you will face when college later. After reading the text, you will be given 12-14 questions for each text reading, which will ask the content of the content of what you have read. The question you will find in the TOEFL test is a double choice question. You will be given for 60 to 80 minutes to complete all the matter.

Tips for working on the Reading Section TOEFL test:

  • Do not rush when reading the text of reading. Indeed, you are limited in the available time, but if you read unconsciously, you can read the information wrongly or miss the important thing.
  • Use annotations such as the bottom line, circle, or whatever you want to mark the words and sentences that are important. This will accelerate the process of information filtering and make relevant search information easier.
  • If you have time, it is time to re-examine the answer you have content. It’s nothing wrong to make sure you’re sure of all the answers in your TOEFL test.
  • Fill all the questions. Although you do not know the right answer for a question, keep the contents of all the questions by guessing the answer. TOEFL will not reduce your value if you fill the wrong answer, it is the best 25% chance of you to get the value.
  • Reading with strategy. It’s good to read the text shortly, read all the questions there, then after it read back text with more details. The point is, you can save the questions you have read in your brain while reading the text carefully. This will make it easier for you to find the relevant information needed to fill in answers and you will know should focus your mind to which part in the text.
  • Exercise by reading many books and previous articles. Get used to your eyes and brain to read English speaking text, because this will accelerate and launch the process of reading you when the TOEFL test. It will also expand your English vocabulary, and help you while working on.
  • Exercise by working on examples of online sites, TOEFL test preparation books, follow the TOEFL preparation les, and so on. Lots of sample sources of questions that you can access free to prepare you before taking the actual test.

General Strategy

  1. Know the types of questions in Reading Like what is this passage about? To ask the topic of the reading. What is the Author’s main purpose in this paragraph? For the principal idea of the paragraph. The Word Notorious in the paragraph 3 could be best replaced by … To ask Vocabulary, Synonym, Start with questions about Word Meaning, Vocabulary.
  2. Followed by questions that refers to a particular sentence in the reading.
  3. Afterwards go to the question of detailed information from the reading that asks about what, where, when, who, which, and how.
  4. The order of answering questions like this will make it easier for you to understand the reading and save time.

Special Strategy

  1. Read the first and last sentence to search for the topic and the idea of the basic readings. Topics and LDE The basic subjects are usually located at the beginning or end of the paragraph.
  2. Usually the topic of the phrase-shaped reading is not a whole sentence.
  3. Read by using the skimming and scanning strategy.
  4. Skimming is a quick reading of the passage of the passage to get the concept discussed in the reading. So read the whole text quickly and try to catch the core reading.
  5. Scanning is a quick reading to search for a word or special sentence. In the matter often we are required to search for a word on a certain line of reading, scan is a reading technique used to directly search for the word regardless of the content of the reading. Example: You are required to find a Alleged word, then you immediately search for a word that became a – / -, without reading the reading.
  6. To search for the meaning of a word in the text, scan readings, if you do not know the meaning of the word read and understand the word in front and behind the word sought, if it is still too difficult, read the sentences containing the word and guess then search for the double option of meaning you think is similar.
  7. The author always tries to give Klu’s instructions on his reading to be understood by the reader. Originally a core paragraph of the reading.
  8. Look for vocabulary that rarely use you, anticipate your ignorance on vocabulary.
  9. Do not forget to eliminate the wrong answer to the choice, so you do not read the section again.
  10. If you really do not know, look for KLU instructions as much as you, then guess the answer. There is no score reduction system on the TOEFL assessment if the answer is wrong.

When starting your actual TOEFL, take a deep breath and do not let the Reading section tire you out.

You have practiced and studied enough, and it is now time to demonstrate your excellent English reading skills!

“Essential in TEYL for Indonesian Elementary Schools: An update for 2020”

Moderator:

Fikri Asih Wigati, S.S., M.Pd

Part A: Contextual Conditions

1. English as a local-curricular content in Indonesian Elementary Schools.

2. Elementary School Children as Learners of a Foreign Language

3. Take it or leave it: the Ina’s government stance to TEYL

Part B: Challenges in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to Young Learners in Indonesia

1. English in Indonesia has the official status of a foreign language (EFL)

This FL status has consequences: lack of exposure, lack of engagement; and lack of support

3. Issues of teachers’ confidence and capabilities in teaching EFL to young learners

4. Issues of sponsorship

Part C: Learning from Excellent TEYL Programs and Responding to the Challenges

1. TEYL comes in different forms and intensity of practice.

  1. modest time (1-1.5 hours per week)-VERY WEAK IMPACTSs
  2. significant time (20-30% using English to teach other subjects) STRONGER IMPACTSS 3.)
  3. substantial time (50-90% using English tp teach other content subjects) STRONGEST IMPACTS.

2. Effective Teachers of English can fluently use English for functional communicative purposes, including for instructional purposes. (effective English teachers are disciplined in using English).

3. Excellent teachers of English know who children are and how these children learn.

  1. Children learn from direct experiences;
  2. children learn from hands-on physical activities;
  3. children’s thinking is embedded in here-and-now context of situation;
  4. children learn holistically from whole to parts using scripts;
  5. and children have a short memory span.

By referring to these principles, teachers help increase children’s learning motivation because they can see for themselves that English is useful.

4. Excellent English teachers take a responsibility to ensure children’s English learning.

  1. Use English to provide exposure to functional language use
  2. Provide print-rich environment in English (e.g., pictures with captions)
  3. Focus on functional English for vocabulary development and immediate communicative needs fulfillment.
  4. Reiterate often to ensure acquisition. 6. Establish useful, acquisition-promoting routine Participants Shore Se Chot.

D. Can Indonesia Handle the Challenge?

1. Choose only excellent TEYL teachers to be assigned to teach in class

a. The teachers should be proficient in English (both spoken and written)

b. The teachers should be conversant with the notion of who children are and how children learn.

3. Teachers of English should be disciplined in using English as much as possible during teaching-learning Process,

4 Apply a merit-system in managing teachers’ work and payment introduce contract-based assignment of teachers in the school system.

Language Teacher Education by Distance (LTED)

Characteristics of distance learning (Mood, 1995):

•The physical separation of teacher and leaner.

•The influence of control of an organized educational institution.

•The involvement of “MEDIA”

•Two-way communication in some form

Other terms used include: online learning, e-learning, virtual learning environments, flexible learning, individualized learning, resource-based learning, supported self-study, independent learning, student-central learning, computer-assisted learning, interactive learning, and work-based learning (Race, 2005)

Technology

1. For LTED, information and communication technologies (ICTs) mean that the knowledge of the discourse community (e.g. in journal articles, books, and teaching materials) can be distributed more cheaply and efficiently.

2. This is particularly useful in a field in which practitioners are spread globally including in countries where are resource poor). And are often transient teaching and/or studying in countries other than their own).

3. ICTs also afford new forms of communication, through media such as online discussions, synchronous chat, and Web-based leaching materials.

4. Nevertheless. due to rapid technological change, successful basic technologies (such as pen & paper, word processor, white board, OHP] are often associated with less effective learning method and, invisible and not even recognized as technologies at all

5. The visibility’ of new technologies encourages a research focus on the ways they meditate learning and teaching.

Online Discussions

1. Advantages of online discussions (Hammond, 2005; Kamhi-Stein, 2000 Pachler and Daly, 2006):

•Allowing space for everyone’s voice.

•Constructing an online identity.

•Exposure for both learners and teachers fo “more voices”

•The provision of a forum for collaborative learning and reflection, and peer Feedback. •Record of discussions and of learning.

•Flexibility

•Time for teachers to compose a considered response

•Ease

•Patterns of interaction that vary from the classic initiation-response Feedback (IRF)

• The opportunity to explore new ideas

•Formation of a learning community among learners.

2. Nevertheless, other scholars have expressed doubt whether online discussions do/can result in a meaningful online community exhibiting full collaboration (Henri 1995; Littleton &Whitelock, 2005; Murphy, 2004; Pawan et. al, 2003; Pena- Shaff & Nicholls, 2003).

3. Barak (2006) contends that online discussions encourage contextual and active learning but not social or reflective learning.

4. Gaps in literature pertaining to online discussion in LTED: discourse analysis of online discussion in LTED and assessments and grading of online discussion in LTED.

Practicums

1. Some scholars (McGrath,1995: Haworth & Parker, 1995) argue that face to face contact is required in order for trainee teachers to develop classroom skills as opposed to theoretical skills).

2. Distance students can face considerable logistic difficulties in organizing observed practicums which meet the rules of their institutions.

3. However. recent literature (Coyle, 2005; Kamhi-Stein, 2000; Salleh, 2002 Simpson2006) are more positive about benefits or Computer-mediated-communication (CMC) when students are scattered at different practicum sites.

4. The practicum make use of multiple teacher development activities such as classroom teaching, case study, observations, Teaching journals, action research and discussions.

Autonomy & Independence

  • Distance learning through the Internet is not about doing traditional teaching with the technology, but about helping students “enter into a new realm of collaborative inquiry and construction of knowledge, viewing their expanding repertoire of identities and communication strategies as resources in the process (Kern, Ware, and Warschauer, 2004 p.254)
  • It is necessary to ensure the use of technologies in distance education does not deprive learners from constructivist and collaborative approaches as well as problem-based learning.

Practical implication: How technology course can be taught in an SLTE program?

  1. Most frequently used strategies to introduce technology (Kay, 2006):
  2. Integrating technology in all courses
  3. Using multimedia such as through the implementation of online courses and electronic portfolios
  4. Focusing on education faculty with the hope that over time this would filter down to preservice trainees
  5. Delivering a single technology course
  6. Modelling how to use technology
  7. Collaboration among preservice teachers, mentor teachers, and faculty
  8. Practicing technology in the field
  9. Offering mini-workshop
  10. Improving access to software, hardware and/or support
  11. Focusing on mentor teachers

Determining factors in ensuring the success of any strategy:

  • Good access to computers with ongoing technology Support
  • Time, both during and after the course, for participants to learn about and then Implement what has been covered, as well as achieve subsequent recognition for their work.
  • The modeling and constructing of authentic tasks and relating of theory to practice through practical examples and application – to move beyond and understanding of technology to an understanding of how technology is implemented in a language teaching situation.
  • Experiencing technology from leaners’ perspectives.
  • The availability of ongoing pedagogical support.
  • Opportunities and encouragement to reflect on the implications of technology at a boarder level.

The Three Period Lesson: A Key Part of The Montessori Method

Moderator:

Nina Puspitaloka, M.Pd

Montessori?

Maria Montessori, she was a true pioneer of child-centered education from Italy.

• Doctor, University of Rome medical school

• became interested in education through her work as a doctor for children with special need

She opened the first Montessori school-the Casa dei Bambini, or Children’s House in Rome on January 6, 1907.

Montessori Method
