Teacher Package for SMP English Language Teachers

Kang Guru in the Classroom SMP Teacher Package KGRE and the IALF (Indonesia Australia Language Foundation) have created a new Teacher Package to assist Indonesian teachers of English who are teaching SMP level students. The activities are designed for elementary to pre-intermediate level students. The activities have been designed to complement and support a competency-based curriculum and have been specially written to match topics in the new 2004 SMP curriculum. See below to order these materials.

The package includes three Classroom Activities booklets, one for each level SMP 1 - 3. There is also a comprehensive Teacher's Guide for using the activities in the classroom and giving tips and ideas about how to create activities. There are four CDs (or four cassettes) in the package. Three CDs contain audio recordings to accompany the activities in the Classroom Activities booklets. There is an extra music CD with songs by Australian, Indonesian and international artists. The recordings offer students the chance to hear English being used naturally by a variety of different speakers, including many Australian voices.

The Teacher's Guide includes a general guide for teachers about some of the most effective ways of using audio recordings with students. It also includes suggestions to help teachers enhance their individual skills in materials development. There are also suggestions and tips to help teachers develop and extend the activities in this package for further learning and skills integration. There are tips for keeping students motivated and interested.

Each Classroom Activities Booklet contains 27 activities which the teacher can take directly into the classroom and use as the basis for either a single lesson or as part of a series of lessons. There is at least one activity for each topic in the SMP curriculum, plus additional activities such as songs, idioms, cross-culture activities and quizzes. There are very detailed Teacher's Notes, which include objectives for each activity, all in line with the new curriculum. There are Answer Keys and a Tapescript for each activity. The Teacher Notes include suggestions for pre-listening, during listening and post-listening follow-up and extension activities. Selected activities include suggestions for project/portfolio work. There are enlarged pictures and photos to accompany many of the activities.
