Belajar Bahasa Inggris

In this connected global era, English language skills are no longer just an added value, but are an important foundation for competing at the international level. Both students and teachers must prepare themselves to face the challenges of an increasingly competitive world.

Understanding this urgency, the LearningRoom Teacher Community in collaboration with the British Council EnglishScore held the Gemilang #6 webinar with the theme "Welcoming the Global Era: Why Do Schools Need to Focus on Teaching English?" This event was held as part of the celebration of National Teachers' Day and aims to mobilize educators and educational institutions in Indonesia to improve competence, skills, and insight in teaching English.

Also present as a speaker in this webinar to make the discussion more comprehensive were Avinda Akil, Head of Business Operations at LearningRoom; Christian Yapari, Global Customer Success Manager at EnglishScore; and Fahla Nurmala, an English Teacher at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Kupang.

The following is a summary of the discussion from the Gemilang #6 webinar.

English Learning Strategies in Schools

In the midst of rapid world development, the ability to speak English has become a mandatory skill for the younger generation. With mastery of this global language, students have the opportunity to be competitive abroad, work in multinational companies, or contribute to the global market.

Unfortunately, teachers often face various challenges that hinder the quality of English learning in schools. These challenges include gaps in student abilities, limited teaching resources, and limited training for teachers to use current teaching methods.

Efforts to overcome these challenges are crucial in improving the effectiveness and quality of education in Indonesia. Therefore, schools must be prepared to facilitate the following:

- Regularly providing training to teachers to continuously improve their teaching skills.

- Integrating creative and interactive learning methods, such as group discussions, role-playing, and project-based learning.

Indicators of Success and Evaluation of English Learning

The significance of assessment tests in English language teaching cannot be overstated. Regular evaluation through assessment tests is crucial to ensure effective teaching.

This assessment can help determine the proficiency level of both students and teachers, allowing for the development of customized teaching strategies to meet individual needs.

As an indicator of success and evaluation, schools can use EnglishScore from the British Council to measure skills development objectively, ensuring that all parties involved can continue to develop and improve the overall quality of education.

Apart from being an English language testing tool, EnglishScore can also help teachers design more targeted learning and enable students to understand their position on the international competency scale.

Implementation of Planned and Quality English Learning

As an English teacher who directly interacts with students, Mrs. Fahla shares her experiences and learning tips that are often used in class.

She explained several challenges in teaching English, such as low student motivation due to monotonous learning methods, which led to suboptimal learning outcomes. Efforts to overcome this challenge are crucial in making English learning more effective and engaging for students.

There are times when teachers must be able to utilize digital learning resources, such as applications and educational videos, to attract students' interest. Alternatively, they can use a student interest-based approach, like learning through songs or films in English, to make learning more engaging and effective.
