Friday, 10 June 2011 ( Coach Limbad ) – Speaking Class
At this time Coach Limbad was giving explanation to alumnus of Intership 1 and 2 about “how to make a good greeting”.
Greeting is an act of communication in which human beings (as well as other members of the animal kingdom) intentionally make their presence known to each other, to show attention to, and to suggest a type of relationship or social status between individuals or groups of people coming in contact with each other. While greeting customs are highly culture- and situation-specific and may change within a culture depending on social status and relationship, they exist in all known human cultures. Greetings can be expressed both audibly and physically, and often involve a combination of the two. This topic excludes military and ceremonial salutes but includes rituals other than gestures.
Greetings are often, but not always, used just prior to a conversation.
Alumnus of Internship had to choose the one country to become their explanation and I have chosen Japanese Greetings into my explanation.

*3 (Anata ga inakute) Samishi katta desu : Abbreviated Anata ga inakute.
*4 Usually we just say “Excuse me/ Sumimasen”, and “Can you help me” is included in this “Sumimasen”.
*5 ...san is a very normal way. Add after both first and family name like Koizumi san or Jyunichiro san.
*6 This sentence can directly be Oai dekite ureshii desu. If you meet a person for the first time, you can say Hajimemashite.
*7 Direct translation is Kouun wo inorimasu.
*8 Christmas is not really celebrated by the Japanese and therefore Merry Christmas is not a common greeting you would hear.
*9 This is one of the Japanese language mysteries, I love you is expressed in progressive aspect like “I am loving you”. But basically it’s seldom used. Instead, Daisuki desu is used casually.
I hope the content of this page was useful to you, and that you learned some Japanese phrases, expressions and words. Make sure to memorize them to be able to use them in your daily conversation.
Monday, 13 June 2011 ( Coach Aziz ) – Speaking Class
At this day, We were learning about how to make a good presentation, speech, writing, etc with a mind map and can make our several activities more easily & arrangly than before using the mind-mapping.
(picture)
We have the standard type of mind mapping; 1-3-9. Firstly we have to determine the topic / main idea, secondly we must give three branches from main idea to become body or we can call SPI ( Supporting Idea ), and finally we should make three branches again from every idea ( body ) / SPI become contain of our title / main idea.
Main Idea : Main has function to decide what we will explain into a concept and it will become our theme in our presentation / written.
Ex: Computer
SPI (Supporting Idea) : SPI will explain specifically than the main Idea because Supporting Idea has function to give a point what we will explain after we made the decision in our topic. It has to become our guide, when we will give an explanation from the topic.
Ex: Computer ( History, Function, Effect )
SPD (Supporting Detail) : SPD would explain specifically than the supporting idea, because in this case we have to make several points will become guiding for us in the explanation.
Ex: Computer ( History [ Figures, Types, Definition ], Function [ Entertainment, Work, School ], Effect [ Negative, Positive ] ).
Tuesday, 14 June 2011 ( Coach Aziz ) – Speaking Class
At this night, we have learnt about several lessons such as ( Rules of using the name at formal / informal situation, The Key of the communication, Region’s rules of marriage, and the History of Hallowe’en ).
Rules of using the name : It is talking about how the way if someone wants to use their name in several situations. Usually foreigners have three parts in their name, the first is a real name, the second is nickname, and the last is clan’s name. When someone wants to introduce themselves in formal situation they have to use the clan’s name if that is a first time.
Informal Situation : Chefiq Azis Al-Aziz
Formal Situation : Al-Aziz Chefiq Aziz
Choach Azis’ Wife : Mrs. Azis ( Formal Situation )
Region’s rules of marriage is talking about how to compare the rules of marriage in some place with the other place, because they have a respectively rules whether the rules have a little bit different.
Padangnese :
The girls of Batakness have high priority to make decision if someone wants to marry from their family.
The girls can buy a man with her mother’s money after she has made a decision from both of families.
The Padangnese cannot marry from the same clan, because they want to spread their heredity especially in Indonesia.
Sundanese :
The aunt / girl members of a boy in family can examine his a candidate of wife with naked together in one room. After that the boy will understand about his candidate.
The man has to get the permission from her father because all of cost of his candidate from her father. And the father will not give the money again after marriage.
The boy has to make a celebration if he wants to make several events such as ( applying,
Javanese :
The candidate of husband / wife being trained first from his / her family of candidate during one month. After we have success in our training, we will marry him / her.
Papuanese :
We can marry with someone comes from 1 clan with us. After marrying we have to get permission when we want to go outside of Papua.
Bataknese :
A man cannot affair his wife, because after he marriage with his wife, he has received to get a punishment from black magic. All of his items will not be working again, whether that is new / old items.
Maduranese :
The family will be making a decision with some family since their children still infant
Lampungnese :
The families in Bataknese cannot be going to outside from their village, because they get a permission from all of members are staying there.
Sulawesinese :
We can marriage with buying someone from some clan, because every clan has different rank and different price for applying.
If the girls of Sulawesinese have high education, the candidate of her husband wants to marry her. He has to cover all of the cost depends on the policy from her family.
Abroad :
The girl / man has to test the candidate of his wife / her husband first. Because if she / he will give a good service they will become family.
Usually the girls in abroad like the boys have the age older than her age. Because they think about if someone older than them, it means he has a lot experience than a girl.
We have learnt about the hallowe’en, it is talking about an event when the people will make a celebration at 31 October in every year. They will wear several costumes throughout the day, because they underestimate with anything has connection with ghost / spirit. They are doing that, because they will remind about 2 legends such as Jack O Lantern & Flying Dutchman.

Thursday, 16 June 2011 ( Coach Manaf ) – Speaking Class
At this time we were talking about “how to teach with several strategies”.
5 elements of teaching consists of :
1. Mastering material
Before going to teach, we have to prepare your matery. The students will know about us, from our matery.
2. Knowing condition of the students
Before giving the explanation, we should know about the condition of the students; for example : the latest lesson, problem / obstacle for the students, etc.
3. Handling the situation
We must understand to handle the situation, because we do not know about what we will do to handle the class in every situation.
4. Knowing the place of the war
(picture)
Motivator : not only becoming teacher but also becoming motivator. We have to know “how to motivate” our students when they go down. From the motivate they will enjoy to attend our class. Do not let them go down, you have to rise them up!
Joker : we have to know about “how to entertain” our students, when they have to face their bad day. We can make a joking, a game, etc; to entertain them.
Scientist : in the other hand, we have to have much knowledge when we must teach something to them. Remember we are the teachers, we need to prepare our matery before attending our class. Do not let our students underestimate us.
Friends : we must become friends for them. we have to know one another to avoid making space between we with our students.
Parents : sometimes we should become parents for our students. because they need figures, when they have to know who is the people what they have to become their guidance.
(picture)
Coach Manaf had given to us about several strategies about teaching before the teacher goes to the class. Consists of 3 elements, for example :
1. Pre-Activity : This is an activity before going to the lesson, we have to do several activities to make our students will understand our lessons easily. We have to make good introduce because it will decide our class will success / not.
a. Motivation : We have to approach our students, if some student has a problem. Try to make them think about “they will safe if they study in our class”.
b. Joking : Sometimes we need a joke in our class, do not give the joke to our students only for laughing. We have to make them always remember about us and the lesson. We can make them remember with several gestures. We have to make them our class so fast, because it indicates if our students enjoy with the class.
c. Recalling : Before going to the main lesson, we have to recall our lesson in the last meeting. We can make this season with game, it will make our students enjoy and enthusiastic while studying in the class.
2. Main-Activity : This is consisting of several steps will make our class fun and interesting for them.
a. Material : Before attending the class, we have to prepare our matery because we will handle the class. Sometimes our planning will different from the reality, we have to try receiving it.
b. Practice : We have to always practice for before teaching them. Because we do not know about the situation in the class.
c. Understand : Teaching is not only talking about how to deliver our matery to our students, but we have responsible to make them understand about the lesson. We have to try to make close with them, because we can know about the behaviour from every single student.
3. Post-Activity : This is the last step before our class will be over. We have to make our students always remember with the lesson & us.
a. Advice : We need to share our experience to them. It will make your students know about your struggle and that will make your students have good motivation to try it.
b. Giving Feedback : After our class will be over, we need some critics / impressions for our method to teach them. After that we can try to become better than before making a mistake.
We need several tips to become a good teacher :
1. Show up your ability if you have good capability to teach them. Do not let our students belittle is, if we get underestimate from our students we have to show up our capacity to them. Be nice in the first meeting and forever.
2. We must have ability to analyze the situation in the class.
3. We have to make good impression in the first introduction.
4. We need to make a positive jealous with approaching one person in every table as the result, the neighbor in same table will be asking to someone has gotten the explanation from us.
Coach dory was talking about how to increase our memory with several steps, such as :
1. Loci method
This method involves forming vivid interactive images between specific locations and items to be remembered. The first step is to learn a set of places. For instance, you might familiarize yourself with various locations around your house: the front sidewalk, the front doorstep, the front door, the foyer and so on.
2. Pageword
People learn a series of words that serve as “pegs” on which memories can be “hung.” In one popular scheme, the pegwords rhyme with numbers to make the words easy to remember: One is a gun, two is a shoe, three is a tree, four is a door, five is a hive, six is sticks, seven is heaven, eight is a plate, nine is wine, and ten is a hen.
3. PQ4R ( Preview, Question, Read, Respect, Reflect, Recite, Review )
(P)Preview the information by skimming quickly through the chapter and looking at the headings.
(Q)Question about the information. We can use the rules of 5 Ws and 1 H ( What, Where, Who, Why, When, and How ).
(1R)Read the text carefully trying to answer the questions
(2R)Reflect on the material. One way would be to create your own examples of how the principles you are reading could be applied
(3R)Recite the material after reading it. That is, put the book aside or look away and try to recall or to narrate what you have just read.
(4R)Review, after you have read the entire chapter, go through it again trying to recall and to summarize its main points.
