Improving English Comprehension in Primary School by Picture-books Story-telling and Reading

So many Chinese students graduated from university after having learned English for 12 years, but they can’t use English well, especially in English listening and speaking. However, all these college students passed Band 4 test of CET (College English Test). There are many reasons for this strange phenomenon but the most important one is Chinese teaching system which is badly influenced by testing system. This year (2013), Chinese education department are under discuss whether the English test will be taken out of National Examinations of College Entrance or the total score should cut down from 150 to 100. It has reflected that our country is in a dilemma whether we should take English into NCEE (National College Entrance Examinations) or not. However, the problem is not exams but how to test and how to teach English in schools. As a primary school teacher for 16 years, the writer has found out that all teachers have to use a textbook to teach and have to finish the textbook and take exams according to the book. If students do better in exams, teachers’ value will improve. Otherwise, they will not be welcomed by school headmaster. These really hold back our English teaching.

Reading picture-books improve students’ comprehension and teachers’ teaching approaches. It will benefit all the students if this teaching method applies to all students who are learning English. As no one in China has done this research before, the writer thinks this article can apply to many primary schools in China.

I AM THEREFORE ASKING YOU TO STOP WORKING ON THE MUSEUM. STANISŁAW SANKOWSKI’S WAY TO ESTABLISHING A MUSEUM IN RADOMSKO

In 2020, we are celebrating 50 years of the Stanisław Sankowski Museum in Radomsko, officially established on 1 July 1970. However, it was already from 1946 that Stanisław Sankowski, a history teacher, had been collecting documents and exhibits related to the region among the students of the First Secondary School in Radomsko. He appealed for them to be collected in the school newsletter and in 1958 in the ‘Gazeta Radomszczańska’ paper. The appeal was successful, and the collections started to grow. At that point there was no mention of a seat for the Museum, so initially, as approved by the school Headmaster, the Museum was housed in the school building. It seemed that it would find a home there for longer, particularly as the school was given a new building. When it turned out there was no separate room available for the exhibition, the school hall was adapted for the Museum exhibits. This, however, was not to the liking of the school authorities; the Deputy Headmaster, who, interestingly, happened to be a historian himself, forbid the works to be continued. For some time the Museum’s activity was suspended, yet finally S. Sankowski decided to move the collected exhibits to his own flat. Excursions, even from around the country, were invited to visit it. Meanwhile, S. Sankowski continuously tried to be allocated some facility where the Museum could be housed. The efforts were accelerated by the mention of the Radomsko Museum in a private flat in a programme on Radio Free Europe. Soon afterwards, the home for the Museum was found: initially, they were 3 rooms in the building of the town authorities, later the whole ground floor, while in the mid-1970s it was allocated almost the whole building of the former 1859 Town Hall. The Museum had enjoyed first successes even before the formal establishment; these were undoubtedly the finds that brought archaeologists to Radomsko and their subsequent discoveries. What needs to be appreciated, though, i s f i rst a n d fo rem o st t h e ed u cat i o n a l effo r t o f S. Sankowski and his promoting activities. Many years later, in 2008, the Radomsko Regional Museum was named after its instigator and creator.

What Happened to Novice EFL Teachers Professional Learning in Pesantren Based Billingual Program? Evidence from an Islamic Boarding School in East Lombok Indonesia

ABSTRACTThis study investigated the practice of professional learning as experienced by novice English Foreign Language (EFL) Teachers especially those teaching at Islamic Boarding Schools or Pesantren which ran English and Arabic language program. Case study was employed by involving English Teachers and a School headmaster. This study revealed EFL teachers found it challenging to manage classroom. This is partly caused by the class size and their limited experiences and authority to manage class. They also suffered from intimidating lesson plans design. Moreover, they found it daunting to encourage students to learning English, resulting in teachers' stress. Further, barriers of novice EFL teachers' professional learning were associasted with their attitude toward continous learning needs and limited programs to improve teachers' competency. It also revealed that this pesantren and the school where this study was carried out have yet to set TPD programs for its teachers. In fact, novice EFL teachers were unlikely to get necessary supports from school and senior teachers despite the presence of informal supervision from senior teachers. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mengkaji praktik pembelajaran profesional guru Bahasa Inggris pemula, khususnya yang mengajar di Pesantren yang menerapkan program bahasa Inggris dan Arab. Penelitian dengan desain studi kasus ini melibatkan Guru Bahasa Inggris dan kepala sekolah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa guru-guru bahasa Inggris tersebut menghadapi tantangan untuk mengelola kelas. Hal ini disebabkan oleh besarnya jumlah siswa di dalam satu kelas serta minimnya pengalaman dan wewenang mereka mengelola kelas. Mereka juga merasa terbebani oleh penyusunan rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran. Mereka juga merasa kesulitan untuk memotivasi siswa belajar bahasa Inggris. Semua hal tersebut membuat guru-guru bahasa Inggris tersebut merasa tertekan. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang menghambat pembelajaran guru bahasa Inggris pemula tersebut adalah sikap guru terhadap kebutuhan belajar secara berkesinambungan dan terbatasnya program peningkatan kompetensi guru. Pesantren dan sekolah tempat penelitian ini dilakukan ternyata menetapkan program pengembangan profesi untuk guru-gurunya. Selain itu, para guru bahasa Inggris pemula tersebut tidak juga mendapatkan dukungan yang diperlukan dari sekolah dan guru senior meskipun telah ada supervisi informal dari guru senior.
