TIPS
SET GOALS
Its often much easier to motivate yourself to work if you have something
to aim for. Goals can be short or long term. A short term goal in learning
English might be to learn enough to be able to book a hotel room. A longer
term aim could be to attend a University in a foreign country, or get a 6.5 on
the IELTS exam.
TETAPKAN TUJUAN
Agar lebih mudah dalam memotivasi diri Anda untuk belajar, Anda harus
mempunyai suatu tujuan yang hendak dicapai. Tujuan-tujuan tersebut
dapat berjangka pendek ataupun panjang. Salah satu tujuan jangka pendek
dalam belajar bahasa Inggris adalah belajar secukupnya agar dapat
mereservasi kamar hotel. Sedangkan tujuan jangka panjang bisa berupa
melanjutkan pen- didikan keluar negeri atau mendapat nilai 6.5 pada ujian
IELTS Anda.

TIPS
BE PREPARED
TO WORK HARD
Learning a language is generally not easy. Most people have other things
to do in their lives apart from learning English. You need to realize this and be
patient with regard to your progress. But you wont achieve much if you dont
put in the effort. We can provide you with quality instructors. However, your
progress depends a lot on you.
SOME LEARNING
TIPS
MAKE TIME
Many of us lead busy lives and find it hard to fit new things into an
already established routine. Learning English can require discipline. You
need to set aside time for your learning and be prepared to study during that
time. Putting things off because youre too tired is ok every now and then, but it
shouldnt become a habit. Make English an indispensable part of your
schedule.

Kami tidak mengharapkan siswa menjadi seperti busa sponge. Anda tidak
mungkin dapat menyerap semua yang diajarkan dan sama sekali tidak
mempu- nyai hal-hal untuk ditanyakan. Jangan takut untuk bertanya! Guruguru kami ada untuk membantu Anda.

DO SOME
EXTRA-CURRICULAR
Having a teacher to instruct and guide you is vital. However, you can also
study independently in fact; this will be more likely to make you a successful
language learner. Dont wait until its time for class to pull out your English
books.

Music can be a fun way to learn English. The next time youre at a Karaoke

This is a great way to practice putting some emotion into your English and will
really improve the way other people perceive your meaning when youre
speaking English to them.

The internet is a fantastic invention, which has changed the way we live
our lives. While it is fantastic to be able to read the Peoples daily or chat with
friends online, it is a waste if we dont use the medium to learn English. Here
at English First, we offer a full suite of blended online learning applications.
But, in addition to that, theres plenty you can do on your own.

DONT TIPS
BE
SELF-CONSCIOUS
There are a few old-fashioned methods which might sound quirky but can work:
- Improve your pronunciation
Use a mirror to practice making difficult English sounds; Record yourself
speaking English and listen afterward, paying attention to stress, intonation
and problem phonemes.
- Think in English
Have an imaginary conversation in English. Think through what youre going
to say.
- Speak to your friends in English
At EF, our teachers encourage students to practice by speaking with each
other. This doesnt have to be confined to the classroom. Try speaking to your
Indonesian friends in English. Dont worry about picking up bad pronunciation
habits-speaking more regularly will give you a much greater level of
confidence and you will definitely improve faster.
JANGAN MALU-MALU
Ada beberapa cara kuno yang walaupun terkesan aneh namun bisa
membantu:
- Meningkatkan pelafalan Anda
Gunakan cermin untuk berlatih membuat bunyi-bunyi yang sulit dalam
bahasa Inggris;
rekam saat Anda berbicara bahasa Inggris dan dengarkan setelahnya,
perhatikan penekanan, intonasi dan fonem Anda.
- Berpikir dalam bahasa Inggris
Lakukan percakapan imajinasi Anda dalam bahasa Inggris. Pikirkan apa
yang hendak Anda katakan.
- Berbicaralah dengan teman Anda menggunakan bahasa Inggris
Di EF, guru kami mendorong para siswa untuk berlatih berbicara satu sama
lain, dan tidak terbatas hanya di dalam ruang kelas. Cobalah berbicara dalam
bahasa Inggris dengan teman-teman Anda. Tidak perlu kuatir dengan
pelafalan yang kurang bagus berbicara secara teratur akan meningkatkan
rasa percaya diri Anda dan Anda akan maju lebih pesat.
SOME LEARNING
TIPS
FOR PARENTS
Kids whose parents take an active interest in their childs education will
probably be much more likely to become successful language learners. Let
them know you care by communicating with them regularly about what they
are learning at EF:
Check their homework and help them with it as much as you can.
Make sure they are actually using those tapes that you paid for at the start
of the course. Too many kids never even take off the cellophane wrapping
on their cassettes.Your child can learn a lot from reviewing material from
each unit on the tapes.
If you can speak even a little English, dont be afraid to use it with your
child. Dont be afraid that your child will learn bad pronunciation-thats one
of the reasons you send them to us! But the more exposure they have to
the language, the better they will become at English.
Encourage your child to read as much as possible in English. Its important
to choose material appropriate to your child. However, there is a wide
range of material available at local bookstores which will be suitable for
your child.
Let them watch cartoons and movies in English. Children love cartoons,
and seeing them in English will only increase their desire to learn.
We can also provide a number of additional tools to support your childs
education. These are an ideal supplement to regular classes, or for
those occasions when you cant offer as much help as you would like:

yourself. Why not sign up for a course yourself. Come to EF together with
your child and learn English together.

TIPS
BAGI PARA
ORANG TUA
Anak-anak yang orang tuanya terlibat secara aktif dalam pendidikan mereka
biasanya menjadi pembelajar bahasa yang lebih sukses. Tunjukkan perhatian
dengan berkomunikasi secara teratur dengan anak-anak Anda mengenai apa
yang mereka pelajari di EF:
Permainan multimedia
Aktivitas tambahan yang dipandu oleh guru asing dan lokal
Permainan High Flyer
Permainan Trailblazer

Salah satu cara terbaik dalam membantu pendidikan anak Anda adalah
dengan melibatkan diri Anda sendiri. Daftarkan diri Anda untuk mengikuti

STRATEGI MEMBACA
Lihat pada tugas/pertanyaannya sebelum membaca.
Lihat judul, sub judul dan foto-foto atau ilustrasi sebelum membaca. Baca
paragraf pertama dan terakhir. Apakah kamu bisa menerka isi dari
bacaan tersebut sebelum membaca seluruhnya (Catatan: Kalimat
pertama dari sebuah paragraf biasanya memberikan gambaran
mengenai seluruh paragraf.)
Pada saat pertama kali membaca, coba untuk mengerti sebanyak mungkin
tanpa menggunakan kamus.
Baca secara cepat untuk mendapatkan gambaran umum tentang bacaan
tersebut. Membaca cepat berulang kali lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan
membaca secara pelan-pelan.
Cari kata-kata kunci. Cobalah membaca seputar kata-kata kunci itu untuk
menemukan jawaban atas pertanyaan yang dimengerti atau untuk
menebak arti kata-kata yang tidak dimengerti. Perhatikan beberapa hal
berikut ini untuk kata-kata yang tidak dimengerti:
o Di bagian percakapan manakah kata tersebut berada?
o Apakah kata tersebut berkonotasi positif atau negatif?
o Bagaimana konteks paragraf dan kalimatnya?

STRATEGIES
STRATEGI BERBICARA
Belajar kata-kata atau suara penundaan yang biasanya digunakan oleh
pengguna bahasa Inggris untuk memberikan waktu lebih bagi mereka
untuk berpikir, seperti er, umm, well.
Teruslah bertanya. Biarkan orang lain terus berbicara dengan bertanya
Mengapa?,Bagaimana perasaan Anda tentang hal itu?, Dan apa
yang terjadi setelah itu?, dan lainnya.
Beri komentar atas apa yang dikatakan orang lain dengan ungkapan
seperti, Benar!,Tepat sekali!, Saya sepenuhnya setuju, dan lainnya. Ini
juga menunjukkan kepada orang tersebut bahwa Anda benar-benar
mendengarkannya dan tertarik dengan apa yang dikatakan orang
tersebut.
Mintalah lawan bicara Anda untuk mengulang atau menjelaskan lebih
lanjut bila perlu. Gunakan kalimat seperti berikut: Maaf, bisakah Anda
mengulanginya?, Maaf, apa maksud Anda sebenarnya?
Berikan alasan untuk pernyataan Anda. Coba untuk menyelesaikan kalimat
Anda dengan karena. Contoh: Saya suka dengan guru saya karena
dia sangat bersahabat.
Untuk pernyataan yang berhubungan, gunakan kata sambung. Contohnya:
Di sisi lain, Walaupun, Sehubungan dengan ini.

LANGUAGE
The teacher can show you the language and give you tools to help you
learn but you must take the most important step and jump in and practice
as much as you can.
Dont be afraid to participate, the teacher will create a friendly and open
learning environment in which you can experiment and try to speak
English.
Set yourself goals, but make them realistic. Congratulate yourself when
you reach your goals.
Dont expect to understand everything immediately. Be patient. With time
and effort the language will slowly become clearer.
The fact that youre reading this means you have already made an
important step.
Dont give up. Imagine if at the age of 18 months, after a few falls,
you decide you dont want to learn to walk!

Solution
Dalam bahasa Inggris, Anda harus mengubah kata kerja bila Anda
berbicara
tentang masa lampau. Minta kesempatan berlatih kepada guru Anda
dan
cobalah untuk mengoreksi diri Anda sendiri dan teman-teman Anda
apabila memungkinkan.
Gunakan singkatan bila berbicara. Contoh:
My names (My name is) = Nama saya adalah
Theyre (They are) = Mereka adalah atau Mereka sedang
Id (I would) = Saya akan
Penutur asli menggunakan singkatan setiap saat, membuat kita sulit untuk
memahami apa yang mereka katakan. Menggunakan singkatan akan
membuat Anda lebih tahu, meningkatkan pemahaman Anda serta menjadikan
bahasa Inggris Anda terdengar lebih alami.
