behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing different types of
information. Learning is a process, rather than a collection of factual and procedural
knowledge.
Teaching is the main activity of teachers, and learning is an obligatory activity of students.
Meanwhile, teaching material is a medium of teaching-learning process. These three
components—teacher, student, and material—are major components of interactional
education.
Several experts point out that teaching is a knowledge transfer process. Teacher is the subject,
whereas, the student is the object. This idea implies that the target of learning is that the
students can get information or knowledge from their learning activities Therefore, in the
teaching-learning process, the teachers are mostly active and the students are usually passive.
The teachers explain or describe the topic and the students are hoped to understand it. This is
generally known as a Teacher Centered Learning (TCL) method.
Other experts believe that teaching is an organizing activity in the learning process. The
learning process has to be organized in order to be effective in transferring knowledge. The
target of learning is how to make a good classroom situation so that the students can enjoy
their learning activities. The students have to be active, and the teachers fill their roles as
good motivators and facilitators. This is commonly called Student Centered Learning (SCL)
method.
However, based on the learning and teaching process conducted at BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia
untuk Penutur Asing) or Indonesian as a Foreign Language Program at the Faculty of
Cultural Sciences of UNHAS in Indonesia, the two methods have been found less effective
and inefficient to improve the understanding of Indonesian language learners (students)
toward the materials taught in the classrooms.
CHAPTER II
CONTENT
A. The quality of English
B. Steps for improving English
To accomplish this, the teachers and students have to follow a series of steps as follows:
The teachers should have good teaching skills, and students should be skillful in
learning.
They both should have good attitudes, and
They should be punctual any time to attend the class.
Second: The teachers have to prepare and manage their materials as good as possible, and the
students should not hesitate to give comments and ask questions about the materials if it is
necessary:
The topic of their materials should be adapted to the allotted time. Teachers can
modify them: what and which topics appropriate to be taught in the morning, at noon,
in the afternoon, or in the evening?
The topics should be adapted to ages of students. The teaching materials for children
and adult learners of Indonesian are not the same, even though their abilities may be
similar. The age differences are sometimes recognized for the periods from infancy to
the age of three, from three to five or six, from five or six to ten, and from eleven to
thirteen (Piaget in Lado, 1998).
The topics should be adapted to the ability of the students or learners. Generally, the
classification of ability is (Pre-Basic), Basic, (Pre-Intermediate), Intermediate, (Pre-
Advanced), and Advanced. Before teaching, teachers should know their students’
ability or comprehension level, so they can choose the appropriate topics for them.
The topics should be adapted to students’ cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The
teachers cannot ignore the influence of cultural background of their students. The
culturally acquired attitudes and information of the learners affect their learning of a
second language.
Third : The teachers need to alert their students, and the students should alerted.
The teachers should advise the students to be ready and available to study before they
are kindly taught.
The teachers should motivate their students and improve their ways of learning, as
well as entice them to happily keep studying.
The teachers should create friendly and casual classroom conditions in order that the
students may feel studying at home.
The students should always be ready and get involve to participate on the learning-
teaching process.
TRAIN
It is essential for good language teaching to provide ample participation of the students in
meaningful language use. The teachers let the students to be active in learning. The teachers
do not only explain or describe the language and let the students listen to it, but they should
persuade or let the students describe or explain it themselves. For example, when the students
are learning reported speech, the teachers should give them tasks of being reporter or
interviewer. Let them demonstrate the task each other where one of them should be a speaker,
and the other acts as reporters, and vice versa.
It is essential in the training that the students are not the object only, but they are subject as
well. They should not be passive learners. They should demonstrate their good abilities. So,
in teaching Indonesian, for example, the teachers provide “problem solving” to stimulate the
students’ activities. This method is called learning by doing.
EVALUATE
In teaching, evaluation is a positive reinforcement to motivate students. The students will
usually study hard when they know that their teachers will give them evaluation or a test. In
this case, the teachers should be aware that even though the test should not be given to the
students in every meeting, but it should be implicitly implemented in every session of the
teaching process.
The teachers should let the students know their works or marks. By knowing them, they will
have high motivation to study hard. When they find that their grades are good, they will keep
trying to be more confident. Whereas, the students whose marks are bad, they should then try
to improve them. In short, the teachers should have abilities to motivate their students.
ABBREVIATE
When the teachers explain or describe their teaching topics, they should speak clearly and
present simple but good explanation to the students. They should abbreviate their language or
explanation. A long explanation is usually found ineffective to the students’ comprehensions.
If the teachers’ explanations are not systematic, the students will be confused and they are
unable to understand the lesson well.
In order to make systematic and simple explanations, the teachers should prepare the scheme
of lessons.
CONCENTRATE
The teachers should concentrate to their teaching topics. It is very often to find students ask
something that is irrelevant to the topic when the teachers explain a topic. If this case
happens, the teachers should have abilities to modify their teaching method to return to the
discussing topic. It is usual that several teachers should answer all the students’ questions as
they wish. They do not care that the questions are relevant or irrelevant to the discussing
topic. They think that they will be a good teacher when they can answer all their students’
questions. In fact, they are not good teachers.
HARMONIZE
A good teacher is the one who is able to harmonize the classroom situation. The teachers and
students should have harmonious interaction or relationship in the teaching-learning process).
The teachers should enjoy their teaching and the students enjoy their learning. This is called
educative interaction.
In learning language, the teachers should let the students to be relaxed, so they will have
bravery to express their opinions if they wish. Let the students have their own creativities.
The authoritarian teachers are not so good, because they will make their students to be afraid
to express their opinions. The authoritarian teachers will probably make the classroom
situation calm, but it is not effective. The permissive teachers in the teaching-learning
process, in contrary, are not so good as well because they will lead the classroom in
unmanageable situation. Therefore, the good teachers will be those who can manage the
classroom situation very well. They should know when they will be authoritarian or
permissive teachers.
INTEREST
The teachers should have abilities to please the students receive a new topic with
sophisticated interests. Sometimes the students are not interested in finding a new topic or
lesson on their learning process due to their inability to forget their previous topics or lessons.
Changing the topics to the interested ones in such situation is very good, however, it
sometimes does not easy. The teachers, then, have to be skilful at combining new topics of
teaching-learning materials with the students past experience or remembrances. The teachers
should keep convincing them to the new topics, but still relevant to the lesson plans, in order
to make them interested. Overall, the teachers should prepare well their lesson plans and
other components of education interaction, such as teaching medium or facilities.
NEGOTIATE
In the teaching process, teachers and students are two basic components. There is no teaching
without learning process. It means that no teaching without student, no teaching without
interaction. So, as a teacher, he or she should be a director or manager in the classroom. He
should be able to manage all of the components in the classroom to support their teaching
process. By this, it is hoped that educative interaction will be running well. The teachers are
not authoritarian ones, but they should be able to negotiate with the students about the lesson
schedules, materials, and so on if they wish.

Chapter III
Conclusion
A creative approach to teaching English encompasses several core features that enable teachers to
make informed decisions, both at the level of planning and in the moment-to-moment interactions in
the classroom. The elements of creative English practice that are examined throughout the book are
introduced here. They include:
1. profiling meaning and purpose;
2. foregrounding potent affectively engaging texts;
3. fostering play and engagement;
4. harnessing curiosity and profiling agency;
5. encouraging collaboration and making connections;
6. integrating reflection, review, feedback and celebration;
7. taking time to travel and explore;
8. ensuring the creative involvement of the teacher.
In this era of personalisation, a creative approach to teaching English offers children a voice in the
learning conversation and the chance to direct more of their own work, making choices and decisions
in collaboration with others during purposeful and engaging learning journeys. Such an approach can
help teachers respond to the dual pressures of prescription and accountability and the demands to
teach creatively and teach for creativity. Adopting a creative approach can additionally help teachers
construct a better balance between form and freedom, structure and innovation in their teaching. If
teachers integrate the eight elements of teaching English creatively into their planning, and work to
extend their engagement as language artists, they will be fostering children’s creativity: enriching
their capacity to question, pose problems, make connections, generate, innovate and imagine
alternatives and reflect critically as readers and writers, speakers and listeners. Creative English
teaching fosters creative English learning.
