QUIZZ

PILOSOPHY OF TEFL

Meeting X 2021

Question :

Part A
1. What are the principle of philosophy of TEFL? Elaborate your own answer by relating

with some perspectives.

Answer :

1. The voice of the language is preferred in teaching because spoken words, phrases, uttarances,
stresses, rhythms, pauses and intonations must be entered immediately.

2. A grammatical system is given to reinforce meaning. To do this students must learn "forms" and
archetypes thoroughly in different situations, learn word classes, lexical combinations such as use of
auxelary verbs, acquire new habits, use language, and familiarize students with native culture.

2. What is your philosophy of TEFL in Indonesian context?

Answer :

Filosofi saya tentang Telf ialah, Mengajar Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing, atau TEFL, seperti
yang paling sering disebut, melibatkan pengajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing di negara-
negara yang tidak menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa utama.

3. Mention the best way of Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia?

Answer :

 Grammar Translation Method (GTM)

This method is the oldest method in the world of foreign language learning. The method
emphasizes more on grammar or grammar. In addition to grammar, there is also a translation that is
used to teach vocabulary. The teacher will teach material about grammar using formulas, then use
translation when teaching reading, writing, and vocabulary in English.

 Audio Lingual Method

 Audio Lingual Method is one method that is believed to be effective for making students learn
English quickly. Students are taught a language like they were in infancy. The trick is that the
teacher practices a short dialogue, one of which means that the students have not been able to
translate it. The teacher gives instructions to the students to follow the dialogue and then the
students guess the meaning of the dialogue from the expressions, poses, and various things that are
practiced by the teacher.

 Silent Way

Silent Way is actually a method of learning mathematics by Celeb Cattegno. However, this method
becomes a powerful method when applied to learning English. A teacher uses rods as a medium to
teach many things, especially about speaking and grammar in English. Rods come in different colors
and lengths.

 Total Physical Response

This method is carried out by the teacher doing some work, for example walking, sitting, putting
books, holding objects, or writing. But before the teacher carries out these tasks, he instructs
himself first with instructions in a foreign language.

Part B
1.Define the meaning of teaching, technique, syllabus, prodeure and method in TEFL!

Answer :

Teaching

“TEFL” is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language or, simply put, English language
instruction for non-native speakers. It is also commonly known as Teaching English to Speakers of
Other Languages 

Technique

Implementing a procedure necessitates certain practices and behaviors that operate in teaching a
language according to a particular method. These practices and behaviors are the techniques that
every procedure relies on. Techniques, in this sense, are part and parcel of procedures. They are the
actual moment-to-moment classroom steps that lead to a specified outcome. Every procedure is
realized through a series of techniques. They could take the form of an exercise or just any activity
that you have to do to complete a task. For instance, when using videos, teachers often use a
technique called “silent viewing” which consists of playing the video without sound and asking
students to figure out what the characters were saying.
Syllabus

The syllabus of a course is the frame of what the course is. It tells the students and the teacher what
is being taught in the course as well as in what order it is being taught. This is especially true in
language learning, as different types of syllabi will indicate what is being learned. There are many
types of syllabi for language learning.

Procedures

Jeremy Harmer (2001) describes ‘procedures’ as “an ordered set of techniques.” They are the step-
by-step measures to execute a method. A common procedure in the grammar-translation method,
for example, is to start by explaining the grammar rules and exemplifying these rules through
sentences that the students then had to translate into their mother tongue. According to Harmer, a
procedure is “smaller than a method and larger than a technique.”

Method

A method is a practical implementation of an approach. A theory is put into practice at the level a
method. It includes decisions about:

 The particular skills to be taught,

 The roles of the teacher and the learner in language teaching and learning,
 The appropriate procedures and techniques,
 The content to be taught,
 And the order in which the content will be presented.

It also involves a specific syllabus organization, choices of the materials that will boost learning, and
the means to assess learners and evaluate teaching and learning. It is a sort of an organizing plan
that relies on the philosophical premises of an approach.

2.Write down and explain the kinds of teaching methods in English skills (Reading, Speaking,

Writing and Listening)!

Answer :

Reading

Reading is a skill in understanding. Reading can help us develop all parts of language, such as
vocabulary, spelling, language or sentence structure, and writing.Reading can improve language
intuition in an appropriate way. When we read, the brain tries to digest information and imitate it,
then the information will be stored and on other occasions, this information can be used for
speaking and writing.
Speaking

Language is a tool for communication. We communicate with others, express our ideas, and also
understand other people's ideas.

Therefore, communication tools will function optimally when the factors that support their
productive skills are mastered.

Speaking skills are needed to be able to express ideas or ideas that exist in us. The idea or idea is
not only conveyed, but can be clearly digested by the recipient of the information.

Writing

One of the last 4 language skills is writing. Writing is an activity of documenting information into a
written means. With the development of social media, almost everyone writes about their activities
as a form of self-expression.Undoubtedly, writing skills are now seen as the most important
language skills to be mastered.

Good writing is writing that is easy to digest through the use of simple, effective, and efficient
sentences. When someone can easily understand the subject matter of a piece of writing, then the
writing can be considered good because it is written skillfully. Writing skills cannot grow alone
without mastering other language skills.

Listening

Listening or listening is a language skill to be able to focus and digest the existing information.

Someone often has difficulty honing this language skill because someone is required to understand
the essence of the conversation, not just knowing every word.Listeners or listeners must focus on a
conversation. Listening or listening language skills can be practiced at any time.In everyday life,
speaker topics and visual codes can help us digest messages.

To practice this language skill, we can often listen or listen to discussions and talks brought by
people with different backgrounds from ours. The more we focus on listening and the more diverse
the background of the speaker, the more our language skills in listening or listening can be honed.

3. What are the principles in Teaching Reading Comprehension

5 fill in the reading format,

6 respond to readings,
7 make reading concept maps,

8 share ideas and discussions,

9 test diction,

10 capture difficult words,

4. What are the principles in Teaching Writing!

Answer :

1. Teach writing, not about writing. This principle emphasizes that teaching writing is centered
on writing skills, not knowledge of writing (in theory).

2. Learning to write is learning to communicate in writing. With this principle, the teacher is
emphasized to encourage and provide opportunities for students to carry out various written
language communications, such as: writing essays or poems according to personal experiences
and other people.

3. At every possible opportunity, students should be introduced to authentic written language.

Authentic language means language that lives in the community that is used in real contexts
such as written language in newspapers, advertising language, and language in various circles of
society. So, in learning to use this principle, it emphasizes the introduction of students to
written language in the community.

4. The rules of writing (written language) are not taught separately, but are integrated with
language skills. The rules of writing are not taught separately, but are integrated with other
language skills, namely listening, reading, and speaking. For example, cross-KD learning.

5. Learn to write with games Learning to write will be more effective if it is fun, such as the
element of the game.

5.What are the principles in Teaching Speaking!

Answer :

a. Give practice speaking as much as possible. To master a skill, including speaking skills, it is
necessary to practice practice that is carried out regularly and directed. So it is not enough for
students to just know the theory of speaking, but they must practice applying the theory in the
most natural conditions possible.

b. Speaking practice should be an integral part of the daily learning program. In addition to
Indonesian language learning activities, speaking practice must also be experienced by students
in other lessons, therefore there needs to be coordination between Indonesian language
teachers and teachers in other fields of study, in terms of giving students the opportunity to
practice speaking to students so that students actively practice speaking in English. a proper
communication.
 c. Cultivate self-confidence. One of the obstacles faced by a student, especially novice
students, is the lack of self-confidence. Speaking exercises that are carried out regularly are very
useful for building self-confidence in these students.

6.What are the principles in Teaching Listening!

Answer :

1.       Listening is the ability to identify sounds, words, phrases, and sentences of the spoken
language and the ability to distinguish one sound from another, one word to another, and so on.

2.       Listening is the ability to understand the message and information conveyed by leaving things
that are irrelevant or redundant in the listening process.

3.       Listening means selecting what is important and what is not, and the most important
thing is selecting what is meaningful and what is not.

4.       Listening is closely related or integrated with remembering and maintaining memory
(short term and long term).

5.       Listening is a stage or stages in accordance with the ability to identify and distinguish
meaningful linguistic components in speech.

d. Example in class

For example, in starting the lesson, the teacher gives some introduction to the importance of
speaking. In teaching speaking or speaking practice in English, an English teacher should provide
innovation to students in the form of the fact that if you want to go abroad or want to communicate
with people in other countries, or you want to work abroad, then what you have to do is we can
speak or speak in English. So that in learning speaking, practice should be prioritized. a teacher gave
an explanation that speaking in English we must be more confident and don't be afraid to make
mistakes so that students are more relaxed in speaking English. After that, practice in front of the
class how we should speak in class. For example, as an exercise a teacher calls two students to the
front of the class and practices speaking and asks something about the person, starting with how to
greet someone first. Or even a teacher asks his students about something in English, after that all
students have the opportunity to practice in front of the class in pairs speaking in English, whatever
topic they want the language to be core is there is no shame or fear in speaking English.
