Aloha good people! Wishing nothing but the best for you and for myself. Today I probably will post such a sort blog and it will be about my comparison to the article I've read with the supposed-to-be scientific article. Scientific article is a type of article that is needed in education life, almost the same like scientific journal. It is mostly created to report the latest research by someone which then will help academic people study things related to that article or journal. Scientific paper has some requirement part such as : 1. Title 2. Abstract 3. Introduction 4. Review of the related literature 5. Methodology 6. Result 7. Discussion 8. Conclusion And after finding out that requirement parts, I looked back to check the article I have read. Why? Of course to make sure that I read the right article to help my study. And here are some parts that is existed on the article I've read : 1. Title (Of course it existed. Imagine an article without a title? lmao th...

Hello folks. Hoping the same as always, I hope you are in a good condition, have a wonderful life and full of bliss. This time I would like to tell and share to you guys how did I find a scientific article for my reading assignment. It was quite hard actually, to find a scientific article especially for the first time. The assignment was to find the article based on our interest in English skill. For example in speaking, reading, listening, writing an so on. The time where my lecturer asked me to find the article, I browse the internet with these words"Speaking article" and "Article about speaking." Surely I picked the article because my interest was in speaking. I picked one article about the characteristics of a good speaker but then the next assignment was to write a summary that was in the article. The bad thing is, it wasn't a right article. There is no abstract in the article that I found, so I have to find a new article and there I went back to bro...

So the article that I picked was "Enhancing the development of speaking skills for non-native speakers of English" by Kamonpan Boonkit. In that article I found the abstract explained that Speaking skill is one of many skills that affect our communication in life, either it is as our mother language or even our second foreign language. And it is really crucial for me and other soon to be an English teacher to improve our speaking skill, why? However, we aim to teach them English. we shall speak in a right way. The needs of improving and answering some questions that shows up about the topic of "Speaking Skill" led Kamonpan to do a qualitative research design as an action study.

Aloha! Welcome back to my blog.. In this opportunity I make another resume about the article that I have read, it is more about speaking skill. I’ll cut off the small talk and let’s just get started! As a teacher, we are included as a public speaker. The general definition about public speaker is actually how you can share an idea in front of many audiences. And there are some scientifically-proven characteristics that we shall imitate as a public speaker. The first one is confidence, this means that confidence is one of the important element for a public speaker. On the article, it shows that being nervous for speaking in public is normal, but however confidence is one the key to deliver our speech more smoothly. According to a study published by the University of Wolverhampton “A highly confident speaker is viewed as being more accurate, competent, credible, intelligent, knowledgeable, likeable, and believable than the less confident uncertain speaker.” Th...

Motivation can be described as an associated energizing and directing effects. Somehow or other, teachers must persuade students to want to do what students have to do anyway. There are 6 major theories about motives and their sources, here they are: Motives as behavior Behaviorism focuses almost completely on what can be directly seen or heard about a person’s behavior, and has relatively few comments about what may lie behind (or “underneath” or “inside”) the behavior. When it comes to motivation, this perspective means minimizing or even ignoring the distinction between the inner drive or energy of students, and the outward behaviors that express the drive or energy. The most common version of the behavioral perspective on motivation is the theory of operant conditioning associated with B. F. Skinner (1938, 1957). Imagine, for example, that a student learns by operant conditioning to answer questions during class discussions: each time the student answers a questi...

A learning disability (or LD ) is a specific impairment of academic learning that interferes with a specific aspect of schoolwork and that reduces a student’s academic performance significantly. An LD shows itself as a major incompatibility between a student’s ability and some feature of achievement: the student may be delayed in reading, writing, listening, speaking, or doing mathematics, but not in all of these at once. A learning problem is not considered a learning disability if it stems from physical, sensory, or motor handicaps, or from generalized intellectual impairment (or mental retardation). It is also not an LD if the learning problem really reflects the challenges of learning English as a second language. Assisting students with learning disabilities There are various ways to assist students with learning disabilities, depending not only on the nature of the disability, of course, but also on the concepts or theory of learning guiding you. Behaviorism: ...

Hello folks. Oh well, it's been very quiet lately and I haven't really post anything in a week but here I am.. posting another summary from another chapter of the book. But enjoy it guys! Student Diversity What is student diversity actually? Well there is evidence that every students are different in how they habitually think. These differences are more specific than learning styles or preferences, and psychologists sometimes call them cognitive styles, meaning typical ways of perceiving and remembering information, and typical ways of solving problems and making decisions (Zhang & Sternberg, 2006). These differences are more specific than learning styles or preferences, and psychologists sometimes call them cognitive styles, meaning typical ways of perceiving and remembering information, and typical ways of solving problems and making decisions (Zhang & Sternberg, 2006). Howard Gardner proposes that there are eight different forms of intelligence, ea...
Student Development

Development refers to long-term personal changes that have multiple sources and multiple effects. Some human developments are especially broad and take years to unfold fully; a person's ever-evolving ability to “read” other's moods, for example, may take a lifetime to develop fully. Other developments are faster and more focused, like a person's increasing skill at solving crossword puzzles. The faster and simpler is the change, the more likely we are to call the change “learning” instead of development. The difference between learning and development is a matter of degree. Students’ development matters for teachers, but the way it matters depends partly on how schooling is organized. In teaching a single, “self-contained” grade-level, the benefits of knowing about development will be less explicit, but just as real, as if you teach many grade levels. If you teach multiple grade levels, as often is true of specialists or teachers in middle school or high school, ...

To encourage lifelong learning - both for yourself or for others. To experience the challenge of devising and doing interesting, exciting activities for the young.
