Material From Dhiras and Desy

September 29th, 2014
First presenter in this turn was Dhiras Pasyati.
Dhiras shared the material about ' How to teach , using and selecting TLS '

The first time she told us about : 

 Overview Teaching Language (TLS)

She said that teaching refers to the process of imparting knowledge and skills from teacher to the learners.
She also told us there were several strategies in teaching and learning, such as :
1. Tuning in
2. Finding out
3. Sorting out
4. Developing values
5. Making Decisions
6. Speaking Out
7. Reflecting
The second time she told us about :
Using the Teaching and English Strategies, and for the last time she told about
Selecting Teaching and Learning Strategies.
In selecting teaching and learning strategies, Dhiras told several steps :
1. Select an object
2. Take resources into account
3. Consider ability level
4. Consider learning style
5. Consult resource material
6. Do not use the same strategy every time.
After did the presentation, Diah gave a question for Dhiras. The question was : 'What strategy that Dhiras use if Dhiras do the brainstorming first then go to the lesson plan ?'
 Dhiras answered that question and the answer was tuning in strategy, tuning in strategy will be presented by Dessy in the next presentation. After answered the question, Dede and Edi gave Dhiras some comment about the Diah's question. After that Mr. Agus gave Dhiras some questions and a suggestion.
The suggestion was about the tittle of the material that presented by Dhiras. Dhiras wrote : How to Teach, Using, and Selecting TLS. Mr. Agus said that the title must be ' How to Teach, to Use , and to Select.
The Questions from Mr. Agus was :
1. How to teach English in this era ?
2. How to define good and effective teacher ?
Dhiras could answer the question well. She more confident in answered the questions than she presented the material.
After Dhiras answered the questions, Simron Tuke gave the additional information for us about how to teach English in this era. He told that in this era we should teach using appropriate technology and the teacher was not the center. In this era, the center in teaching and learning process must be the students.
Overall, Dhiras did the presentation well. She could explain the material used her own words. But he least to move around, to check the audience participants, and she least to do eye contact with the audience. She just looked on one side in the class. The last was she only stuck on the text. She least to express her expression in presented the material


Second presenter was Desy Ariyanti.
Material from Desy was ' Tuning In Strategies ' .

Tuning in are strategies providing the opportunity for students to explore their current knowledge, attitudes and values  .

The strategies included in this section are:

➤ Before and after

➤ Card clusters

➤ Graffiti

➤ KWL

➤ One minute challenge

➤ Question partners

➤ Quiz

  But in this turn , Desy only told about ' Before and After, Card Cluster, and Grafity '.

1. Before and after is a strategy that used by teacher to know the students’ knowledge before and after learning process.
So, in this section Desy would be a teacher and the others in VD class would be the students. In before and after, desy gave us questionnaire about ' Drugs ', and told us to answer the question in before column. Desy gave us about 5 minutes to answer that questionnaire. After we done it, we collected that questionnaire and the teacher with the students will be discussed the drugs. So, after we( as the students ) done to discuss the drugs, we would like to answer again in after column. After that the students allowed to present the final result. 
After that , Mr. Agus gave desy some suggestion about her presentation. The point of that suggestion was controlled the students unless the students will controlled you. 
I think desy did the presentation nice , she made the classroom atmosphere was happy. But, she let the students too noisy and spend all opinions which were less important in the teaching and learning process. Because the time was up, so the presentation will be continued next week. 
See you ..
