IN the language we use, said Ludwig Wittgenstein, Austrian philosopher of language, implied an orientation of life which not only includes the concepts we profess about the surroundings, but also feelings, values, thoughts, cultures, up to superstition. Language is very important. Is that determining the relationship and interaction in every respect in the community.
With a language we can hide and reveal the thoughts, the language we also create and finish the conflict. Because of language, we give him all our love and declares war. In short, language is the guide of life and our world picture. Found him an objective analysis of our life.
LISTEN and news reports on television, noisy speech on campus, and the witnessed the ability to read and write in almost all layers. Sentences are incoherent, haphazard spelling, word choice awry until the story is not much less developed and predictable unimaginative, found in many publications. A very interesting book, filled with even spoken language.
Similar descriptions of this, "All day at home continues, out of the house if college aja. If not no college? Yes ngurung themselves in their rooms. If not learn, do you sleep. Most of the time actually learning while asleep. Weird, huh? children do not normally boarding-coquettish coquettish was not acting. Usually, as soon hear a no-sale at the mall or a music concert okay, hebohnya since two months before. " however, shows that there is something wrong with the user-Indonesian.
Of course, that example might not be understood by the board, let alone from one side only. Overview of examples that can be accepted as a chaotic educational outcomes, can also represent people who want to be free. Look of indifference, was harassment, and both ensure that Indonesian was not considered important nor valuable to the owner. But if we believe in language as the fruit of the mind, to mix idioms logic devices for delivery of your thoughts and feelings, how to speak should be linked with the ability to think. Neatness and politeness so, is a reflection of a person of reason and culture.
This led us to the schools that educate students capable of reading and writing in Indonesian language teaching. What happens at school? Does all the effort, money, time, and effort expended, we will only reap failure? How do I manage the Indonesian subjects so interesting and can be trace on the students? Is there a way to learn the language so that students discover interests and thus can develop their potential let alone find themselves?
First, it must be credible, ie language learning reading, writing and speaking is part of the thinking process. With language, enabled students to think if I may so to level the complex because of the availability of a structure to express and recognize relationships between concepts and with that he can communicate with each other. In language lessons, students learn about how to communicate while recognizing the cultural ways of thinking appropriate language studies. Therefore, all efforts in the classroom have been deployed to enable communication and foster critical thinking skills. Examples of daily papers to prove that the student did not unusual and can not think. Speak and communicate well is difficult for many people. The same thing seems well on their reading.
Second, because the language is thought and feeling that is born of a culture and world, then students will only engage in language lessons when he was treated as a subject, allowed to enter actively in the world that he was reading, and make reading a part of himself. This is called Paulo Freire as a reading and writing that grew from a dynamic movement to "read the world", ie talking about the experience, speaking freely and spontaneously, and not to separate read and write letters and words from reading and writing life.
Third, with the humility necessary to realize the importance of increasing teachers' knowledge about students, about the language being taught and to believe, especially about life as a source of and reason for the importance of speaking and being human. Teachers need to be patient and tolerant face and accept students and always impatient to provide the best. By recognizing the complexity of students' progress, the critical success affirmatively expected to love their students, as well as to receive and pushed to do more, which makes it even more responsible for their duties. It strengthens the quality of teachers to motivate students to interpret reading, capturing the meaning and rewrite what he had read, and changed accordingly.
LOVE, SLC Trial Indonesian National Junior 20 April 2003 and then show how language education in Indonesia is still embraced the concept of banking, for exam engineered solely to check what is acceptable student-teachers who dideposito-what they chew and memorize. Multiple choice questions of course requires above all the knowledge about language rather than language skills.
Narrowing of meaning, berobyek sentences, pronouns, description kesalingan, relationship assumption, the meaning of suffixes, compound sentences, among others tested. This dilemma arises when the students must determine the nature of characters in literary works based on just one paragraph.
A work published in the 30's, about a 27-year-old leader was bothering her match, obviously far from the world of junior high school children. From this test looks neglected the needs of students, thought to thought rather than be left guessing, and still needed a way involving feelings and their interests.
So, what can be done, and what changes are needed? Center for language teaching should be student, for the sake of understanding, interests, and their needs. Full of students with language and be very happy to learn. Their ability to construct meaning is also special that the teachers could easily become learners when dealing with students. Because the main language lessons is unity in reading, writing, and speech to students familiar with the world, then teachers need to become one with the students, have recognized the joy of life exploring, curious and like to wander.
Teaching language as such is an effort involving students, who can not be treated solely as technical training, but need to link it with the feelings, interests, and their needs. Success will depend on the participation in the planned dialogue.
To that end, the first two hours every day at school should be devoted to language, and all day effort reasonable, considering the taste by putting students into the main purposes. Because reading and writing is a way to find direction and meaning, beauty and intimacy of life that can create and build students' lives. Only by properly teaching the language we help children get their rights as human family members.
