Teachers from Bangka enjoying a Kang Guru teacher workshop - March 29, 2008
I am Dedi Hendarsyah, one of the participant of Kang Guru worksop in Pangkalpinang on 29th of March 2008. Your suggestion and your explanation in the workshop really helped me. I have tried your method and your way of teaching to my students. and It''s really amazing!!! all of my students are involved and enjoy the activities in the class room.

I just read a paragraph on your brochure such as "Listen every week....until remember every week on over 130 radio stations in all provinces" and i asked them to write on the black board one student for one word and i asked them to discuss without write on the paper. only listening activities. and it is really work. and all my student active and enjoy the activities...

I think if i have material from you such as 28 magazine and cassetes material i have ordered for sma students, i am sure my teaching learning activities will work better.

Finally i would like to say thank you very much to you, your family and all KGRE staff. and May God bless you all.

Thank you very much,
Dedi Hendarsyah

KGRE's NEW Teacher Workshop Booklet

Kang GURU teacher materials should not be used as tests for students. None of the Kang GURU materials have been designed to be used as tests, but as activities to complement and support the curriculum. The activities in the SMP package will help you as teachers incorporate competency-based activities into your lessons.

By using the activities in the classroom you give your students a chance to explore the topics more fully, practice the language point and at the same time listen to native speakers. The suggestions in the Teacher's Guide also show you how to make learning English fun. So no tests please! Just activity and interaction!

Would you like to see some samples of what is in the NEW Kang GURU Teacher Workshop Booklet?

Taken from EL Teaching matters

 

My name is Siti Nurul Hidayah,S.PdI.

I am a trainer) in 2005, English Teachers Workshop in conjunction with Kangguru Radio English with 110 teachers participated from SMP and SMA level in 2006, English Olympiad with more than 700 students participated, English Speech Contest II with more than 60 students participated from SMP and SMA students and Follow Up Workshop for English Teachers connected with KGRE in 2007.All events were supported by DIKNAS (local education department) and PEMKAB (local government) Kab. Trenggalek.

In early year of 2008, I was active to search the scholarship opportunity by browsing on the internet and participating in some education seminars conducted by IDP Malang. From the seminar, I got invaluable information about DIKTI scholarship. There are more than 1500 scholarships to pursue overseas postgraduate/ PhD program (S2/S3) for lecturers from many discipline subjects in 2008. Providentially, I was the winner of the third batch of scholarship awards with more than 900 lecturers to study all around the world, such us; Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Australia, UK, America etc. I chose Australia as my destination country to dig up my teaching skills. This scholarship has many requirements, such us:

1. Fill form A of scholarship from DIKTI.


2. We should be a lecturer.


3. We should be accepted in one university abroad, proofed by Letter of Acceptance (LoA) or Offering Letter from the university abroad.


4. Addition letter such us: TOEFL/IELTS certificate or another language certificate, recommendation letter, CV, etc


5. For PhD program, should attach research proposal.

Send it to Direktur Ketenagaan, Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi lantai 5 Departemen Pendidikan Nasional Jalan Pintu I – Senayan, Jakarta.

After waiting for one month, for selected candidate of awardees, there will be interview test and the final result will be announced later. More information about this scholarship, log on www.ditnaga-dikti.org.

My suggestion for all KGI enthusiasts in seeking scholarship:

1. Search information about scholarship from internet, education seminars and friends, and the most important thing; don’t hesitate to ask everything if you are not sure about information. (“sungkan” or shy is dissolved problem for Indonesian people).


2. you should have constructive activities to perfect your curriculum vitae (many social and volunteer activities are essential and the pictures of your activities are needed )


3. You should be active to contact the university abroad by sending mail and print your mail as a proof.


4. Keep on learning English by reading KGI magazine and listening KGI program on the radio, joining English club and practicing English more.
5. Try harder than somebody else.


I have reached my first dream and I still have many other dreams. A miracle is coming with an intense shot and nothing is impossible for me. How about you?


Big thank to Kangguru Indonesia which always assists my English club, education in my hometown and specially my life. I can not imagine how I reach my dream without knowing KGRE.

Keep on trying and learning English more…
