Teaching to Young Learners (TEYL)

Some people think it's better for a child to more focus on learning vocabulary rather than grammar because grammar is too complicated. In other ways, some people think that grammar is more important rather than vocabulary because it's complicated. Therefore, it's better to teach them at a young age, they will more easily absorb the knowledge and adapt to using grammar. So, eventually, when they grow up they will be familiar with using grammar and can overcome the obstacles in using grammar. But, the fact is, vocabulary and grammar are interdependent. When learning English, it is important to understand the complex interaction between vocabulary and grammar which will help the learners to be fluent in spoken and written skills. It is basically because both of them are stored together in the mental lexicon in typical combination rather than in isolation. Therefore, they should be learned together. For the young learner, when they pick up new words, they might be able to recog...

  As a human, our brains are naturally wired to listen and speak. But, they aren't naturally wired to read and write. In some cases like in Indonesia, there are a lot of people illiterate that they can listen and speak but they can write even read. That's why reading and writing must be taught, with teaching human to learn to read and write at about age 5 or 6 and need several years to master the skills. Children don't learn to read, just from being exposed to books, for many of them reading must be taught explicitly and systematically, one small step at a time. Researchers have made a lot of progress in determining how to teach reading more effectively, but it comes down to the effectiveness of each teacher such as their approach, method, or strategies. Therefore, teachers make the difference. Print Awareness Print awareness is a child's earliest introduction to literacy, that is understanding that print is organized in a particular way. For example, knowing that print...

Learning a Second / Third Language Bilingualism refers to possessing a minimal competence in only one of the four language skills in a language other than the mother tongue or the ability to speak a second language while following the concepts and structures of it rather than paraphrasing the mother tongue. So, the person who is "Bilingualism", they have two different languages and can use that two languages especially as a spoken language with the fluency characteristic of a native speaker. While "Multilingualism", refers to a person who having and using more than two different languages especially as a spoken language with the fluency characteristic of a native speaker. In early bilingualism usually, children will run into the 'simultaneous acquisition', which is the process of the earliest chance of learning two languages or more, and it starts at birth. The bilingual children generally appear to develop more slowly in linguistic terms and they may say th...

 Ritual vs Routine Have you ever remembered and experienced when you in Elementary School or Kindergarten, you have to do the same activities that generally happened before and after class?  This kind of activity namely "Class Ritual." So, class "Ritual" and "Routine" are two different things. The Class's routine is simply a well-rehearsed response to a teacher's directive. According to Burden (2003) "Routines allow students to quickly accomplish day-to-day tasks that are required of both the teacher and students" and routine also help to create smoother transitions between activities, therefore allow fewer opportunities for disruptions to occur (Docking, 2002). Pic. of Class Routines How about class ritual? Well, the class ritual is the repeated set of activities or actions, and behavior. The class ritual will help the student to give a sense of control to soothe the lower center of the brain and emotionally prepared students to enga...
