ENGLISH

1. METHOD OF NATURALLY (THE IMMERSION

METHOD) / METODE ALAMIAH
2. METHOD NEEDS (THE CLASSROOM
METHOD) / METODE KEBUTUHAN

1. THE IMMERSION METHOD
 The immersion method is also called the “natural
method.” The word “immersion” means to become
completely surrounded by something. To learn by
immersion, you need to surround yourself with English,
all the time.
Science says:
 This method doesn’t just help you learn English, 
it helps you think like a native. Using the immersion
method to learn English actually 
changes the way your brain works, to look more like the
brain of a native English speaker.

HOW TO LEARN BY IMMERSION:

1. To learn with this method, you will need to surround yourself

with English. If you’re living in an English-speaking
country, you’re already halfway there! Here are some things
you can do to expose yourself to more English every day:
2. Change the language to English on your phone, social media
and any other websites you use regularly.
3. Join online and real-world groups that speak in English. Find
groups that share your interests, so you have something in
common to talk about.

5
HOW TO LEARN BY IMMERSION:

4. Speak to your fellow English students in English as

often as you can.
5. Watch TV shows and movies in English. Even if you
don’t understand the words, you’re learning patterns
without even realizing it.
6. Watch the news and listen to the radio in English.
Subscribe to an English magazine or newspaper. Make
English the first language you see every day!

1. Metode alamiah

Dengan metode ini, berarti kita mengawali proses belajar dengan :

1. mendengarkan (listening).
2. speaking (berbicara). Kita mendengar kata-kata lalu berusaha mengulangi kata-
kata itu.
3. Setelah itu kita mulai belajar membaca (reading), serta
4. menulis kata-kata itu secara sederhana (writing) dan
5. tata bahasa (grammar).
Tentunya selama proses belajar reading dan writing, kita tetap melatih speaking
dan listening kita.
Kelemahan metode ini adalah waktu.

2. THE CLASSROOM METHOD

 Don’t skip this one just because you don’t take English
classes! Classroom English learning doesn’t mean you
have to take formal English classes. It just means you
learn like you would if you were in a classroom.

 With the classroom method, you 

start with the grammar rules, spelling and vocabulary
lessons, and the foundation of the language. These are
the parts that hold it together.

 Science says:
 Before you can start speaking a language, you need some
basic knowledge. Otherwise, where would you start?
According to some studies, learning a language is a bit
like building. You start with a few basics, like “I walked
to school,” then you add to them little by little.
 As you learn the rules, you can start creating your own
sentences with them, and even making mistakes. For
example, “I sing at school” is correct, but “I singed at
school” is not (it should be “sang”). You advance by
building your knowledge, making mistakes and learning
from the whole process.
