The teachers should be native speakers, because then they
could talk in English fluently.
To study English or to study any language we should know the
culture and the customs of that language.
When we study in English speaking countries we always speak
English and always think in English. It’s really important for teachers to encourage student to participate in what they teach.
Grammar is difficult. It’s true that we learned enough grammar
at school, but I find the structure of English very different to Indonesian.
The most difficult skill is listening, because people (who speak
English) have different accents. The teachers should give us more chance especially in listening.
Students did have opportunities to practice their English
outside the classroom, to varying degrees, mostly because of international business activity.
In practising English, the most difficult is grammar.
Conclusion In learning any language we must have the curiosity of the language so that we can understand the concept of the language. English learning must also be supported by the teacher in delivering more interesting material to be taught such as speaking and listening.
