Teaching Technique


Some Techniques in teaching Reading

There are lots of techniques that a teacher may apply in their class; however, the teachers have to be careful in choosing the technique that they want to use. A teacher has to consider the students grade and also their language level before applying the technique. Here some example of the techniques that the teachers may use in teaching reading subject. 

v  Flashboard, it is use for early stage of reading
Here the teachers have to provide themselves with some flashboard. The flashboards are the same with the flashcard but in flashboard it consists of the letter of the words meanwhile in flashcard it consists of the picture of the words. How to apply this technique is the same with the way the teachers apply flashcard. So they flash the board as fast as possible so that the students will full concentrate on the letters on the boards.
v  Pictures stories, it can be used both for early stage and also intermediate
This technique is very useful when introducing a reading subject to the students. Here the students will find that the reading subject is not a boring. The students will have some stories that accompanied by some pictures so if the students find it hard to understand the text they will still be able to make sense of it through the pictures. In addition, they will find the reading text is enjoyable for they will see lots of pictures in the text.

Tounge Twister 2


If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,

REVIEW TEXT

                   The review of Twilight book

I am a big fan of vampire book. After a long waiting of the new series of vampire novel, finally, Twilight blooms as a new flower in the deep of darkness. It gives a new living in a life of vampire novel society that has been buried down for so long. For me it gives such a great entertaining in my spare time.
Giving such refreshing plot of romantic between vampire and human makes this novel stand out. The story starts when Bella Swan, a high school student from Arizona moves to the outskirt city in phoenix. There the love blooms between Bella and Edward Cullen, the handsome vampire boy. Their loves starts beautifully until another vampire clan comes to phoenix and target Bella as their victim.
