Teaching English with Fun by Singing and Playing

    Assalamu'alaikum hello everyone I'm Mr Ryu we meet here on a virtual meeting through my blog. I learnt English when I was in Junior High in grade 7. The teacher still using one of old teaching style methods and approaches one of them was GTM or Grammar Translation Method. The teacher gives some sentences to the students to be read, translate them into bahasa, explain the formula and pattern of the sentence and read the sentence together, just like that. For me as a student, that kind of method is pretty boring because it's monotonous the teacher and students do the same thing repeated over and over.

    Nowadays as information technology has been so advanced, you can get much information from all over the world just with a click by using many platforms from your gadgets such as google, mozilla, firefox, youtube, etc. Many millennial young teachers now have utilized them in teaching their students by online. As we know all that in this covid-19 pandemic era most of the people's lifestyles have changed including the way of teaching. From offline teaching to online teaching because we are in a condition that force us to work from home due to the spreading out of covid-19.

    Mr. Urip is as one of the teachers in Hi-5 English conversation course has been doing an interesting, fun and interactive method of teaching English conversation by using playing games, singing songs, and telling stories method to his students. It's a way of drawing students' attention so they can fully engage to the lesson and actively speaking in English with peers or teachers. By setting up a conducive atmosphere of the classroom the students will be more ready and enthusiastic to learn English and practice it. First, make them to love English. Second, make English easy and fun to learn. Third, encourage them to practice English anytime, anywhere, and with anyone who can speak English of course.
