VIDEO PROFIL :
5. • OPENING: Teacher opens the class
– Teacher greets the students with great spirit
STEP 1:
Principles:
• Great spirit in the first impression will motivate the
students
• Smiling, is one of the way to get the students’
attention
6. STEP 2:
BKOF
Low
TTT
Eliciting
vocabular
ies
Lots
of drill
Principles:
1. Low TTT (Teacher Talk Time): We
need to avoid TTT as can as possible
to maximize the student’s role for
their own learning. Teacher
demonstretes, not explains or
translates in the target language.
2. Lots of drillIings and repeatations
are needed in learning speaking.
3. Eliciting vocabularies: Using
elicitation rather than explanation. If
students are presented with clear
examples and guiding questions,
they often do not need to be “told”.
This kind of guided discovery leads
to better understanding and more
successful learning.
Building knowledge of the field (BKOF) : Teacher try to build the students’
knowledge about the topic (everyday routine) in the simple way.
7. EXERCISE TIME!
STEP 3:
1st study: by inviting the students to sum up the
material together , they try to match the
appropriate words which the teacher gave.
2nd study (fill in the blank): with no words from the
teacher, the students should write and remember
their anwers (in the 1st study)
Monitor through worksheet: Help the
students in answering the question.
Principles:
4. Teacher should give the
exercise in step, more than 1
exercise is allowed.
5. Teacher should pay attention
to the level of question, it
should start from the easiest
to the most difficult one to
build the students’
understanding.
6. Work in pair / group will help
them in interaction.
7. Teacher do monitoring during
the exercise time will make
students feel secure.
8. Teacher’s care is needed.
8. PRACTICE IT !
Principles:
9. Teaching language should be
practiced.
10. Students should learn to
think in the target language
as soon as possible.
11. Vocabulary is acquired more
naturally if students use it in
full sentences, rather than
memorizing word lists.
12. Pronunciation should work in
the classroom so that the
teacher give the self-
correction to fasilitate
language learning.
STEP 4:
All questions
and answers
are practiced
Putting it all
together
9. Principles:
13. Memorizing after having the
drillings is the best way to
encourage students in speaking.
14. The purpose of language
learning is to learn how to use
the language to communicate.
15. Building a relationship with and
among students is very
important.
16. Teachers should be tolerant of
the errors and only correct
major errors inductively (Errors
are correc ted gently, nor in a
direct, confrontational manner).
