English is one of the most widely used international languages in all corners of the world. There are 53 countries that use English as the official language. Therefore it is very important to learn and master English. This is & nbsp; was also conveyed by Juang Kurniansyah M.Pd when he was a guest speaker at the Upy Talkshow (29/05), & Nbsp; Lecturer in the English Language Education Program at Yogyakarta PGRI University as well as a secretary at UPT Language. & ldquo; English is very important for us to master and that will be an added value for us. & RDQUO; In addition he is also trusted as one of the lecturers of the Student Exchange Program (Seateacher).
alluded to the matter of the Southeast Asian Student Exchange Program, he explained & LDQUO; before implementing the program we selected students, first from the administration, then conducted an interview with the English language skills test for prospective participants. The Seateacher program, then we will find out their abilities. The most important and the main requirement is the ability or good English skill. & Rdquo; he explained. For the implementation of the Seateacher program we usually send students depending on agreements with leaders and universities that have collaborated with us, including from universities in Thailand and the Philippines. & Rdquo; & LDQUO; for activities there students carry out teaching practices in schools that have been predetermined as PPL, and vice versa we will accept students the Seateacher program sent & nbsp; from campuses abroad and they will practice in schools that have been determined from elementary to high school. & Rdquo; He continued.
So from that is why English is very important in this era, in addition to being needed in the field of education it also does not rule out the possibility of doing business or establishing cooperation in various fields with agencies, especially outside the country to make it easier to communicate using foreign languages, especially the use of English. To learn and be able to master English we must know the basics. He explained & LDQUO; there are 4 main foundations in learning English namely listening (listening), speaking (speaking), reading (reading), writing (writing). Indeed, what must be mastered first is how we listen to English itself, so we will get used to speaking, after getting used to speaking we will start reading a lot, then after being accustomed to reading we will start to get used to writing in English. .
English has always been a scourge for everyone especially in grammar, but if we are accustomed to hearing and watching the English movie it will be very helpful and add its own vocabulary. & ldquo; so it could be because it is accustomed to being a very important foundation to be able to master English, including when we watch the English movie it will also help our habits and add its own vocabulary. I also often advise students to make groups and do not need too many small groups where in the scope of the group we get used to speaking English, from being accustomed to that we will be more easily ventured to speak English. & Rdquo;
In essence the most important thing is to talk and listen to English often, both from watching movies, listening to songs, making small groups for practices where we communicate using English so that we can too Correcting each other, of course there are still many from online media today to help us learn English. & ldquo; the point is a habit such as listening music, watch movie, it is very, very helpful in how to express, how to express a word, then make a container or small group where we interact with each other so that we can correct each other and it will Helping us in improving our English skills. & RDQUO; said Juang.
