Language Teaching Methodologies
The appropriate teaching methodologies in Indonesian Education and the reasons:
Learned-centered curriculum and principal approach is two of the teaching methodologies which I think can be appropriate in Indonesian Education. Learned-centered curriculum is a teaching approach which is based on the belief that learners are self-directed. Learners are seen to learn in different ways and to have different needs and interests. This approach can reach all of student learning styles. In Indonesia, students usually feel bored if the teachers only teach the material with old style (only read and write) and then the students often slept in classroom. That way is failed in old era. In my experience, I prefer doing some practices to only reading some books. So, this method required the teacher to create creative ways in teaching. The important thing is the teacher should combine the technology. Technology provided some advantages in life and almost students in this era get closer with technology.
But in teaching, the teachers also should have a standard assessment to support the method. It called principal approach. In beginning and the end of semester, the teachers have to build a test in order to know the result of their students. If the result increased, the teacher might repeat the method. But if it is failed, the teachers should change their methods. The principal approach tended to teach the material only by syllabus or standard from government. It is not the best way in teaching but it can be a supporting way for learned-centered curriculum. The teachers not only gave the student freedom in learning, but they also assess their student to reach the standard of assessment.

  1. you said you prefer doing some practices than only read a book and education can be correlated with technology. i think you can give a simple example for your opinion about that. In my opinion it can help reader to understand the main of your blog.
    I'm sorry, it's only my opinion.
    Thank you.

  1. hahaha :D
    thank you evik,,
    i just write my paper less than 300words.

    I'do better next time ...

  1. i really like your point of view umi. this is a good challenge that we got as a teacher. none of the teaching methodologies work exactly in the different areas. each area has their one style and i wish we could make it eventhough it is not easy :)

  1. siiipp :D

    BIG HAND for us,, NEW GENERATION OF TEACHER :))

  1. umie,,,
    being a teacher means that come to a subset of complexity. but we gonna enjoy this as a part of a long life learner.
    there are many things that we have to consider.
    teachnology approach to teach language and also contextual learning process as prof. kasihani told us.
    i think with contextual learning they will be more easilly to understand the second language to practice the language itself through activity which is happen around their lives.

  1. I very like with our opinion. Based on my experience as Indonesia's student, Yeah.. I have ever feel bored, sleepy etc. But know we have know about teaching methodologies. As the teacher candidates we should apply our knowledge in the future. This is our challenge!!!

  1. Yes, good point.
    As you said if teacher has achieved the good result,he/she can apply the method again. However,the characteristic of the next students possibly different from before, so... teachers should still improve their method, do they?.. :-)

  1. @ siti : hahaha :D
    we should do this !!!

    @ kiss : yes,, thanks for your suggestion

    @ diyah : yes of course they do,,
    but they have to consider the intelligences of students. So, that's why I wrote "This approach can reach all of student learning styles". It means that the method can be flexible for anytime and situation. (of course, we have to adapt with situation first).
    Thanks for your question, diyah !!
