This posting is about CTL. Contextual Teaching Learning is the concept of learning that help teachers link between the material taught with real-world situations of students and encourage students to make connections between the knowledge possessed by its application in their lives as family members and the community. With that concept, expected learning outcomes more meaningful for students. Learning process in the form of natural student activities and work experience, rather than transferring knowledge from teacher to student. Learning strategy is more overlooked than the results. What is the best way to convey the many concepts that are taught in a particular course so that all students can use and retain that information? How can the individual lessons be understood as interconnected pieces that build upon each other? How can a teacher communicate effectively with students who wonder about the reason for, the meaning of, and the relevance...

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has been referred to as "applied ELT" as the content and aims of any course are determined by the needs of a specific group of learners. ESP is often divided into EAP (English for Academic Purposes) and EOP (English for Occupational Purposes). Further sub-divisions of EOP are sometimes made into business English, professional English (e.g. English for doctors, lawyers) and vocational English (e.g. English for tourism, nursing, aviation, bricklaying). You will find special sections for Business English and English for Academic Purposes elsewhere on this website. According to Dudley-Evans (2001) the absolute characteristics of ESP are: ESP is designed to meet the specific needs of the learners. ESP makes use of the underlying methodology and activities of the specialism it serves. It is centred not only on the language (grammar, lexis, register), but also the skills, discourses and genres appropriate to those activities. ESP practitioner...

Conditioning and creating a learning environment is very important in the process of teaching and learning. Do you know how to design a good learning environment ? Creating and implementing a learning environment means careful planning for the start of the school year. The learning environment must be envisioned in both a physical space and a cognitive space. The physical space of the classroom is managed as the teacher prepares the classroom for the students . Is the space warm and inviting? Does the room arrangement match the teacher's philosophy of learning? Do the students have access to necessary materials? Are the distracting features of a room eliminated? Attending to these and similar questions aids a teacher in managing the physical space of the classroom. Teachers must also consider the cognitive space necessary for a learning environment . This cognitive space is based upon the expectations teachers set for students in the classroom and the process of creating a motiv...

Mengapa mesti memilih Jefry Noer? Tentu kita bertanya, kenapa pilihan itu kembali kepada H. Jefry Noer , MANTAP (Modern, Agamis, Nasionalis, Teruji, Amanah dan Profesional) dalam memajukan KAMPAR 1.       Beliau telah menunjukkan kinerja yang luar biasa, walaupun hanya memimpin kampar 3,5 tahun, sebagai daerah induk yang dimekarkan memang terasa terus, Kabupaten Kampar tertinggal dibandingkan daerah pecahan pemekarannya, yaitu Kabupaten Pelalawan, Rokanhulu. Jika dibandingkan dengan pejabat pemerintah Kampar saat ini yang telah berkuasa hampir 5 tahun, apa yang telah dicapai dan dibuat berbanding terbalik. 2.       Dari perbandingan hasil kinerja inilah akhirnya membuat sebahagian masyarakat Kampar merasa telah keliru, bahwa upaya pemakzulan beliau ternyata kontra produktif terhadap pembangunan Kabupaten Kampar, sebagai kota serambinya Mekah. 3.       Kuatnya dukungan dari aru...

Do you know when language teaching theory was born? This is a article from Dimitrios Thanasoulas about The History of Language Teaching especially English language. This is a good article of language teaching history Introduction As the title implies, the English language teaching tradition has been subjected to a tremendous change, especially throughout the twentieth century. Perhaps more than any other discipline, this tradition has been practiced, in various adaptations, in language classrooms all around the world for centuries. While the teaching of Maths or Physics, that is, the methodology of teaching Maths or Physics, has, to a greater or lesser extent, remained the same, this is hardly the case with English or language teaching in general. As will become evident in this short paper, there are some milestones in the development of this tradition, which we will briefly touch upon, in an attempt to reveal the importance of research in the selection and implementation of the optim...
