"LTM" TWELVE PRINCIPLES


In this globalization era to learn a foreign language "English" became a demand in society. We cannot deny that learning English is a very important thing. So even from kindergarten English already introduces to English. This is also the second language for them. Therefore requires a certain way that must be applied in teaching and learning.
In the Language Teaching Methodologies we know that in language learning must have twelve principle such as, automaticity, meaningful learning, the anticipation of rewards, intrinsic motivation, strategic investment, language ego, self confidence, risk taking, the language-culture, the native effect language, inter language, and Communicative competence.
            One week ago we have done teacher assistance and teaching practice
program. We have observed whether 12 this principle has been applied in teaching and learning or not.
The result shows that from 12 principles, there are 5 principles only applied in the classroom.
1. Automaticity, In class the teacher tried to explain the lessons and provide opportunities for students to talk automatically without thinking about grammar.
2. Intrinsic Motivation, A teacher that I observed  is a teacher who has old age and this year he would retire. The way of teaching that he applied only teacher center learning. That’s why students feel bored and busy with their own activities. however there are still some students  pay attention to the teacher. I see that the student has a strong internal motivation. Because they felt want and need to learn that subject.
3. Strategic Investment, language learning success also depends on the personality of the learner such as effort, attention and their own strategies in learning. Some students have good effort and attention in the class get good achievement in the class.
4. Native language effect, For the language learner Indonesia already embedded in them so even if they learn English, Indonesian style will be mixed in a second language.
5. Interlanguage, In the end of the year teacher always ask the feedback from students to make Some improvement.
            Actually, this report is a little bit difficult for me because the teacher is always using the teacher center learning. When teacher explains the task in front of the class many other students just busy with their activities they shout and discuss other things. Look like there is no  teacher standing in front of class. There is no meaningful learning, nothing Anticipation of reward (reward for learners to keep the classroom atmosphere to keep it interesting), teacher just use and follow the text book. For me it is really boring. Perhaps
, it because the teacher are old and rarely receive training in teaching.
However when we do teaching practice they more respect and pay attention to the class. When we ask them to speak up, write a story and don’t be afraid, they show us that they can do it well. They come in front of the class and present something with high self confidence, and we try to give reward at least say thanks, and good job, great, and etc. we motivate them. In the end of the class some students want us to teach again and again in their class because they said it was really meaningful learning, they feel easier to understand the lesson and it was interesting. This shows us that, this twelve principle is really need in language learning
