English For Young Learners :D

EYL stands for English for Young Learners is a young learner course which uses innovative methods to encourage young learners to speak English as much as possible and to make them fun in learning English. It helps teachers and students enjoy the classroom activities by choosing the exact methods. 

EYL is an elective subject for sixth semester in English Department of The University of Muhammadiyah Malang. Actually, there are three elective subjects that can be chosen by English Department students such as English For Young Learners, Translation, and Bussiness English. My friends and I who  exist on the pictures below are taking EYL class in this sixth semester :) 

I take EYL because I want to be creative in teaching. Here, we learn classroom management, how to teach English skills such as reading, listening, writing, and speaking. We also learn how to teach songs and rymes, drama, story telling, and many others. It is a fun class! We learn how to be a headmaster, treasurer, secretary, etc. This class teaches us to learn and work cooperatively and I am sure it helps us to work in social life. One more, in EYL class I am learning how to be a nice mother and teacher for my children in the future hahahh :p  :) 

We meet twice every week In EYL class. Miss. Devin, Riran, Dina, Idha, and I are united in reading group for EYL. Each group must present the materials only in two meetings. First meeting is explaining the theory (How to teach reading, tips for teaching reading, the benefits of teaching reading, reading activities, the principles of teaching reading, etc) and introducing our opening and closing classroom password and then the second meeting is teaching practice. Usually, we open our presentation and teaching practice by singing our opening and closing classroom password which are used for attracting the students attention when the classroom activities are begun.  

Group II members are in action :p Me, miss Riran, Devin, and Dina (My reading group in EYL class ) Miss Idha is not here because she is taking our photo :D

 Miss. Dina is explaining the materials on the slide :)

Miss Ida is teaching reading  for second grade by using balloons (There is a word written on each balloon  :)

Here, our opening classroom password and the tone is taking Potong Bebek Angsa Song :)  

Good morning my teacher good morning my friends

How are you today? I’m pretty well

let’s smile together, let’s enjoy the class, I hope everything is gonna be ok :D (2X) 

Closing classroom password, it takes Sayonara song :)

Good bye teacher, good bye my friends

It’s time to go home

See you next time teacher 

žSee you next time my friends

See you next time my wonderful class

Thank you ^_^ 

" Do not forget about your body language while singing those songs because teaching EYL
should use TPR (Total Physical Response)  ok :p "  

      Miss Riran and Dina are placed as the presenters, Miss. Devin as the first grade teacher Miss. Idha as the second grade teacher, and me as the moderator and teacher in third grade all at once.

When we teach, do not forget to appreciate every good small thing that your students do

because it makes them happy and want to do their best again, again, all over again.

Appreciation is one of the tricks to encourage our students joining the classroom activities happily.

Asslamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh ^_^

Good night everybody, how's life tonight? I hope everything's gonna be ok.

Now, I am at sixth semester. There are many assignments that must be well done every week. :D Alhamdulillah, although I am little bit tired, I always try to enjoy my activities because doing something that gives advantages for ourselves is better rather than doing nothing, is not it? :D

All of my lecturers in this semester are amazing!!! :*

 

<3 They are very professional, I love them much because I get many things from them especially knowledge <3

Actually, I rare visit UMM library but this semester changes my habit. Now, library becomes a comfortable place for me in finishing my assignments and looking for some references for several subjects. Hehe

 

Almost everyday, I bring knapsack on my back whereas I rare do it at the previous semesters hahahh :p


  
  
 





Umi and aji, my parents are the people who always support me and advice me everyday. Sometimes, I feel bored, tired and homesick but they make me strong, stronger and be a strongest girl :') I never imagined to live far away from my parents before, I always be by their sides actually, but because of our dreams, I must do it.

For the people who are still living together with their family, I just wanna say " You are so lucky" and for them who are living far away from their beloved family I just wanna say " Be patient and keep doing your best". :') Today, I miss my family so much T.T hiiikkksss

My favourite and nice lecturer ! :)

What a hot day! :)
Good afternoon guys, have you eaten? Alhamdulillahhirabbil'alamiin, I have eaten just now. 

Well everybody, I just want to tell you about someone who is very inspiring, motivating, smart, friendly, bearing, discipline, punctual, and bla bla bla :D He has good manners and attitudes. Well, he is my favorite lecturer that I have been putting down as my father :) The way he advices and motivates his students make me happy and feel so lucky to meet and know him. Many things I have been learning from him. He does not only teaches us about the materials of the lecturing but also how to be a successful learners, religious, and be better in everything. This semester, I meet him again. 

 

The way he teaches us makes the materials can be accepted and understood easily. That is why I always look for his class :D hehehh. Might be at the first meeting, some feel afraid because of his rules and discipline. But actually, if we can understand and accept what his purposes are, InsyaAllah we will be blessed and bestowed by Allah SWT and the people around us will easily fall in love with you ( in other words, they respect and happy with you). 

He teaches us to be a benefit person in social life and he educates us to be punctual. Because being late, lazy and bad habit like them, are corrupting and wasting time! Whereas we have to do a lot of things which are giving advantages to ourselves and others. 

 Everywhere, if I see him when I am sitting, standing and talking to my friends, I always look up and down at him because I awe him so much :) Only five words that can describe my feeling to him " I LOVE HIM SO MUCH :') " Sir, may Allah always protects, loves, blesses, and bestows you and your family. Aamiiin ya Rabb

Good Morning ^_^

I do not know exactly whether I am writing something useful or not this morning because I am dizzy thinking of my homework. hehe  Actually, it has been done but I am not sure about the validity. This morning, my friends and I are going to know what the results. Writing is a delightful activity for me although sometimes I just write unimportant things but it helps me to throw away my stress :D Today, I have to go to campus in order to take two lectures. They are compulsory subjects to be taken and I must pass them well because they are the requirements for taking PPL and KKN. But if I am able to pass all of the subjects of this semester well as usual, it will be better :) Hopefully, I am able because my parents and families are waiting for me over there :")  On 23rd March 2014, I am going to enlist my self to take KKN, after that I am gonna be busy in preparing everything that must be brought and done while doing my assignments. Well, It is time to take a bath and breakfast. See you soon with another story of mine my beloved blog  :D Telling whatever I want to you is my happiness, you're my electronic diary that must be ready to accept my writing whether it's good or bad, nice or not, etc :p
