HOW TO PROGRESS OUR ENGLISH
(an idea to welcome RSBI)
By: Asmadi, S. Pd
What ‘s the most important in Studying English ?
While our school has gotten predicate RSBI at this year, so talking and discussing about language especially English language become us to realize how this language has gotten an important part of our school as Internasional language.
So, all of us must learn this language well.
I’d heard an opinion that the most important in studying English is speaking, because the most important in communication is if we can understand word of others and we can respond it, and how we can express our minds. All of those are in speaking.
This statement might be true, but everyone may have different opinions.
One of them says that the grammar is the most important-lesson in studying English, because often of talking without grammar make misunderstanding in communication. And sometimes the risk of it will be dangerousething for continuance of harmony in community , besides some problems in law may be happen from it, as we can see it.
This statement might be true too.
That’s the reason why someone is always getting more in one side and less in another side of language, esspecially in this language.
I think joining these statements is a better for progress quality of language. It’ s not just about value or score, but it’s in reality. Because,as we’ve known, each language has four skills, i.e : listening, speaking, writing and reading, and exactly all of them are needed in communication.
So, if someone only concern on speaking or grammar of English, he or she won’t be succeed well in studying English.
This opinion doesn’t accuse those statements before, because actually those statements don’t pure opposite each other. Eachstatement is right according to the main target of everyone in studying English.
How can be right the statement for all conditions that a grammar is second way in studying English?
How to progress our English
For that, I want to resume how to progress our English as basic to be excellent in studying English.
There are things must be there in a single person to get progress :
(I) Everyone must have a good motivation.
We realize that a motivation is the basic of actifity and the basic of life. If everyone has a good motivation, he or she will get success on his or her life, and if everyone doesn’t have a good motivation, so he or she won’t be succeed in his or her life. It’s a right, isn’t it?
How right the statement is! That the result of each activity hangs on kind of its motivation.
The famous proverb in here is ” there is a will, there is a way”
(ii) Everyone must have bravery to try and try to communicate in English everytime and every where, not only with himself or herself, but also with others.
So that, when everyone make a group to study English, it’s a good step to support their bravery for intensifying communication with another, while to practice what he or she’ ve known.
(iii) Everyone must have a high motivation to learn grammar, because the grammar is really important to determine our speaking or sentences are correct or not.
When we don’t have a good grammar, so how can we speak with another correctly?
,so how can we write anything correctly? and, is there a way so we can translate any references correctly without grammar?
Actually, the grammar is the right way of language, and it’ s the regulations of language which should be throughed.
I believe exactly when someone doesn’t have a high motivation to learn grammar as well as idioms, it’s nonsense to can communicate in English well, as well as, it’s nonsense to can translate literature in English well.
(iv) Everyone must practice in English what he or she’ ve known, although just a simple on English, likes writing short story, telling short of an opinion, or telling daily activities.
Besides, something has to be attentioned, when everyone make a group, which one of group has to have commitment to communicate in English with another, and a teacher or instructor of English must be there in this group. Because presentation of teacher or instructor of English in here is useful for correcting any mistakes may be happen in this group and for making discussion to progress language- quality of eachone in this group, either about speaking, writing or grammar.
At last, I hope this article can encourage us to try speaking English well, including idioms and grammar of English. Both of them are the key to open other references in English.
So, in the next, “everyone” in ourschool can speak English well and we can open references, although in English. More over when our school has gotten predicate “RSBI” at this year. It’s new era which must be throughed.
Good luck!
