Title: How to Be An Expert in Speaking and Listening?
Post by: Chen Hui Ling on 18 October 2012, 05:23:54 PM
Friends.. Saya bingung deh :|
Saya udah kuliah 3 semester di Fakultas Bahasa dan Sastra tapi masih kurang gitu di speaking dan listening :'(
Kalau pas speaking di depan kelas atau presentasi pasti masih gemeteran dan ga bisa lancar ngomongnya..
Pas listening juga masih kurang cepat menangkap ::)

Berbagai cara udah dicoba misal: ngomong sama temen se fakultas pake bahasa inggris, untuk listeningnya juga udah coba dengan dengerin lagu dan sering enggak nangkep words nya ::)
Kadang juga kalo pas ga ada tugas nonton tv di kos yang kartun pake bahasa inggris, juga kurang bisa nangkep..

Gimana yah caranya biar bisa semakin baik speaking dan listening nya? Mohon masukannya :( :yes:

gw pikir mungkin karena panik ya.. jadinya di depan lebih fokus memikirkan "aduh gw bisa gak ya, dll"
solusinya coba perbanyak conversation, mungkin ada dosen yang akrab / gaul bisa diajak ngobrol pake bahasa inggris

for speaking :

try joining "Toastmaster"
http://www.toastmasters.org/default.aspx
a non profit international organization
to learn interactive public speaking
there are 42 clubs in jakarta, and 10 clubs in surabaya
unfortunately there is none in semarang,
so ask your faculty to made a club

or... join couchsurfing
https://www.couchsurfing.org/
the idea is to give free accommodation for traveler
but you can also just go for coffee or chat with traveler around the world

======================================

for listening:

watch dvd in the original english languange
and put the subtitle in english
does your campus has library with video facility ?

if you listen to music online
try getting the song lyrics too

after a while you will get used to
listening without the subtitle nor the lyrics

selain 2 saran diatas
alternatif yang lain, karena punya akses internet, cari bahan di VOA (Voice of America). Topik yang dibahas cukup luas, tinggal disesuaikan dengan selera (science, health, edu, economy, agriculturei dll bahkan bisa dengar offline pindato khususnya American Style) dan bagusnya ada script-nya.
ex:http://learningenglish.voanews.com/?refresh=1

Sastra Inggris di tempat-mu klo nggak salah lebih condong ke UK (?)
jadi mungkin bisa dicari link ke Radio Australia ataupun BBC untuk menyesuaikan aksen.


untuk speaking, cari info di Pusat Bahasa dekat FSM unt jadi tour guide Bule2 yg kesasar di S3
siapa tau dpt cogan bule ;D

mulai bangun tidur, beol, makan sampai tidur lagi ngomong inggris terus.
nonton pelem inggris, baca buku inggris, dengerin audio book inggris, nulis catatan pake inggris, baca koran inggris, nonton berita inggris.

paling cepet backpack ke negara yang natively ngomong inggris selama 2-3 bulan.

jalan terakhir, cari pacar yang native speaker inggris.

tanda2 keberhasilan biasanya setelah anda mulai mimpi dalam bahasa inggris.

Untuk listening download audiobooks, sama sering2 nonton film yang pake bahasa english "asli", kek Harry Potter, LOTR, dll, pertama pakai sub english(sambil nangkep omongannya), kemudian nonton lagi, jangan pake sub lagi...
untuk film2 seperti Men In Black dll, englishnya udah ngaco....

nowadays that's couchsurfing  ;D

hence, couchsuring too
you backpack, pay your plane ticket
and stay for free in other people house
sounds scary, but it's not that bad. actually it's kinda fun  ;D

tanda2 keberhasilan biasanya setelah anda mulai mimpi dalam bahasa inggris.
or when you are talking to yourself in your head, the conversation is in english

what do you mean with "have the mind westernized"? Could you explain it more clearly please? ;D

is it like: "adoring western thing too much"
like thinking: "anything from the west is awesome, bla bla bla.
the east is so ancient"
and believing the media that
"the nato is the good guy, the middle east is the bad guy"
after a while you realize, that's just an extreme
go for the middle way

ada 1 saran lagi, sebagai saran terakhir
kalau sering & suka baca koran sperti suara merdeka, jawa pos, republika atau kompas, mulai saat ini, dihentikan



diganti ...: ShowHide

my mom think that may be I can be a private teacher.
Actually, I'm a little bit don't like her suggestion. To be a private teacher means that I will just stay at home and teach my student.
I can't meet people who have the same age as me..

Actually, what I fear if I being a teacher is that I will get married at old age :hammer: :hammer:

haha.. I don't like teaching.. I don't wanna be a real teacher who teaches at the school.
When I was junior and senior high school student I often say that I don't wanna be a teacher.

I have point of view that to be a teacher isn't good. You'll spent a lot of ur time to make exam questions, do correction, never get high salary, just stuck at the back of table, and get married in old age. I don't wanna be a teacherrrrrrr~

In my opinion, if we want to be a good teacher we must have interest, skill n knowledge too, coz in my experience there are several really great teachers I admire, they can make their students understand the lesson easily.
btw u can try to find out other job's criteria that may be suits ur background education... if u like to travelling n meet people, u can try to apply marketing position, or public relation for example....  Just a kind of thought.  :)

There are a lot of people who don't work in the field that no connection with their college, for example: om forte ;D
yep, I think a wanna be a translator who works for foreign company. :) that's why I want to improve my listening and speaking skill ;D
Although I will graduate as S.Pd , I will accept two certificates.
 One is used if u wanna be a teacher, and the other will be used if u want to work in a company ;D

S.Pd stands for Sarjana Pendidikan. Yes, 4 years study. However, I am taking Intro to research this semester( actually this subject is for semester 5's students) this is the basic subject to take thesis. If there is no change, I will write my thesis at the sixth semester and graduate after I finish my seventh semester :)

listening: watch english movie
Start with the easy one such as Avatar: Legend of Aang.

Dont use any subtitle.
After that, proceed to other movies.
Start with action movies, then to movies with lots of dialogue.

When you are confident enough, try to listen to Audiobook
It is basically a book, but in the form of recording, somebody will recite it for you.
I usually listen to free audiobook of my favorite novel which is available in internet.
Well I think you can find the pirated copy. The downside is that the files are large and takes long time to download
And the originals are expensive.


For speaking, no other way, you need to practice with a partner.
Best with native speaker

I think listening to audiobook is a lot easier than listening to film, for the reader is specialized in reading and speaking, so it is easier to comprehend..

haha.. I don't like teaching.. I don't wanna be a real teacher who teaches at the school.
When I was junior and senior high school student I often say that I don't wanna be a teacher.

I have point of view that to be a teacher isn't good. You'll spent a lot of ur time to make exam questions, do correction, never get high salary, just stuck at the back of table, and get married in old age. I don't wanna be a teacherrrrrrr~
If you think of being a teacher is not good enough for the salary is too low, then why don't you try to be a civil servants (PNS) sist?
My math teacher had said that his salary right now is about Rp. 7.500.000,- per month..
higher salary, and yet easier than most kind of job..
for example, when you working in bank, you only get about Rp. 5.000.000,- per month and you have to work all day long..
being a teacher only takes half day, from morning to afternoon, and after that you can spend your spare time to do other kind of job, or maybe hang out with friends..

then my wisest quotation is do not dwell too deep in literature ^-^ ^-^


being a private teacher isn't that bad... once you feel being accepted in the family you work at. besides that, it is a good point for your portfolio and hey, the best learning is teaching!

you have nothing to lose 8)

Ciri-ciri orang yang expert bahasa inggris:
1. Ngomong Bahasa Inggris
2. Berpikir dalam Bahasa Inggris
3. Mimpi dalam Bahasa Inggris

Semuanya tergantung kebiasaan. Untuk mimpi emang susah di atur. But at least try to speak and think in English. Your dream will automatically be translated in English too :D

   dan siap2 kuasain bahasanya yg berhubungan dgn istilah2 Buddhist...

Bhante : Follow me to recite this sutta.

Friends.. Saya bingung deh :|
Saya udah kuliah 3 semester di Fakultas Bahasa dan Sastra tapi masih kurang gitu di speaking dan listening :'(
Kalau pas speaking di depan kelas atau presentasi pasti masih gemeteran dan ga bisa lancar ngomongnya..
Pas listening juga masih kurang cepat menangkap ::)

Berbagai cara udah dicoba misal: ngomong sama temen se fakultas pake bahasa inggris, untuk listeningnya juga udah coba dengan dengerin lagu dan sering enggak nangkep words nya ::)
Kadang juga kalo pas ga ada tugas nonton tv di kos yang kartun pake bahasa inggris, juga kurang bisa nangkep..

Gimana yah caranya biar bisa semakin baik speaking dan listening nya? Mohon masukannya :( :yes:

If u want to speak and listen english fluently, i think u must pratice a lot.
Don't worry to make a mistake in english
How do you think if we chat using english? Maybe this can help you to improve your english skill?

don't be afraid to try.....

cumi pernah jadi penterjemah utk bhiku dari Birma dlm topik meditasi...
kejadiannya sih itu acara dadakan dan sptnya gak ada yg bersedia maju jadi penterjemah...
nahh cumi kan agak "usil" ini menawarkan diri.... cumi mengatakan kalau ada yg lebih
bisa, silahkan... tapi kalau tidak cumi bersedia....hehehehe....

ternyata ini job yg pertama, maka perlu konsentrasi penuh (tidak disarankan ngelamun) dan kerjaan ini memang memeras otak....

apalagi bhiku yg ngomong ngerocos panjang...ahhhhh terpaksa cumi nulis2 dikertas secara ringkas baru kemudian menterjemahkan sambil melihat catatan tsb..... untung semua berjalan dgn lancar... beberapa kata2 sulit dibantu oleh rekan2 cumi...ha ha ha.... (ini udah janjian dulu utk rekan2 yg akan membantu...)

jadi utk menjadi expert in English, tak ada salahnya menawarkan diri jadi penterjemah....

siapa yg berani coba ?
