Kang Guru Lovers
Wajo - South Sulawesi
March 2003

On January 28th,2003, KGRE visited three small schools in Desa Salobulo, Kec. Sajoanging, South Sulawesi. Pak Muksim, leader of theKG Connection Club in Wajo, English Lover’s Club, invited Captain KGRE to meet his students and to take part in some of their English language activities. Under the instruction of Pak Muksim, the students in his 4 schools are learning English in very innovative and interesting ways. He uses KGRE regularly and KGRE is happy to support him in whichever ways it can. Even though KGRE is primarily written for Pre-Intermediate to Intermediate English language learners, Pak Muksim manages to adapt KGRE magazines and POUCH bulletins for use with his young students. Parents of the students and the community in general fully support Pak Muksim’s enthusiasm and hard work.
The following are some of their activities as written in theirClub Activity Reports.

  • ‘Kang Guru In the Classroom’

    I use the ‘Kang Guru in the Classroom’ once a week in SD Negeri 366 Salobulo. Listening to the native speakers and Australia music are very useful for them. That motivates them to study English. My students even try to imitate the voice of singer. Even though my students are Elementary School children they are very clever and smart.

  • Picture Guess Quiz

    For elementary school children, I use pictures of animals and fruits so that my students can guess the pictures (the name of the animals and fruits). I think this way is very good for them. I can see the success of my English teaching system for my students.

Student English Activities
Kediri - East Java
April 2003

Dear KGCC,

In this Club Activities Report (CAR) we have information about some special activities during September 2002 - February 2003. They are:

  • Touring in English

    All the club members went to Ubalan, a water source like a lake, in Kalasan. We inaugurated 3 of our new members there. One of them is Eva who is the 2nd winner of Speech Contest on IKIP PGRI Kediri.

  • Drawing of a Story

    During the semester holidays we had an activity called ‘drawing of story (cerita bergambar)’. This task was for all members. They must drawing a picture or write a story about their holiday. Then they have to speak in front of the other members. And we had one winner. It is a drawing called ‘My Holiday Train’ by Lutfi. It’s a funny drawing for a high school student.


    Do you know, the Reading Class Set and the Pouch is very popular with our club members. They must queue up if they want to borrow it or they can copy it. Can you permit it?

    PS: This report writing was done by Eva, the winner of ‘Can You Write Reports for our Club?’ This is a new activity in our club in every four months.

    KGRE note: This is an excellent way to delegate report writing among club members).
