Mengenalkan English Alphabet Ala Badut Games

Mengenalkan English Alphabet pada anak-anak, khususnya siswa kelas rendah memang mengalami beberapa kendala :

Tidak semua siswa lancar membaca dan menulis (dalam Bahasa Indonesia).
Bahasa ibu (mother tongue) masih berpengaruh kuat.
Pengucapan alphabet bahasa Inggris berbeda dengan bahasa ibunya. Terutama untuk huruf vokal dan beberapa konsonan seperti w, y , h dsb.

Lalu bagaimana cara guru mengenalkan materi ini? Selain mengajak anak untuk menyanyikan lagu Alphabet song , ajaklah anak-anak untuk bermain games. Caranya:

Pilihlah beberapa vokal atau konsonan yang akan dikenalkan misalnya 4 vokal yaitu a,i,u, e, o atau konsonan w, y , g, h
Ucap ulang bunyi vokal tsb sampai anak-anak dapat mengenali bunyi dan hurufnya.
mintalah anak untuk menunjukkan huruf ( dengan kartu huruf atau tertulis di papan tulis )dengan bunyi vokal yang disuarakan guru.
Setelah anak familiar dengan bunyi vokal, mulai permainan ini.
Mintalah beberapa anak maju ke depan. Tempelkan beberapa kartu huruf dengan selotape ke bagian tubuh misalnya dada anak.
Guru menyuarakan pengucapan vokal misalnya /yu/, anak yang bersangkutan harus mengacungkan tangannya.
Ulangi seterusnya sampai semua huruf .

Acara permainan ini juga bisa lebih menarik, seru dan mengundang tawa jika guru bersedia menjadi ‘ objek penderita’ dari games ini. Jika sebelumnya yang ditempeli kartu huruf adalah anak, kini giliran sekujur tubuh guru yang ditempeli huruf-huruf. Misalnya huruf a dan e ditempelkan di tangan kanan dan kiri, huruf i ditempelkan di bahu, huruf u ditempelkan di dahi, huruf o di pipi .

Pilihlah beberapa anak secara bergantia untuk maju ke depan
Guru mengucapkan bunyi vokal tertentu misalnya /ai/
Anak harus menarik kartu huruf vokal yang berbunyi /ai/ dari tubuh sang guru.
Agar acara lebih ‘fun’ ketika anak menarik kartu huruf dari tangan , gerak-gerakan tangan kita. Anak menarik kartu dari bahu, goyang-goyangkan bahu kita seperti badut. tapi ketika anak menarik kartu huruf dari dahi…. lompat-lompatlah seperti vampire di film-film Mandarin … ha..ha.. 🙂 pasti semua anak tertawa terbahak-bahak.

Pembelajaran menjadi menyenangkan dan mudah diingat.

  that’s way, a professional teacher is very needed in our Educational System… because it will relate to the students’ attention. Not only playing the games and make some noises in the class, but teacher should think hard about class management and also time allocation. dont to focus on the game and method, but as the teacher, how can we deliver the topic/material in a form to the students. dont be missed the target when we deliver or provide the material just because of they’re too enjoy the game/method.
  
  sorry, I’m newbie to be here…
  [keep on checking the grammar even we/you were writing]
  nice work mom.
  -regard-

    This is one of teacher approach to convey materials. First because English is not their mother tongue. Secondly teacher can gain students attention by applying games. As you mention that we should keep focusing a path of the material taught. Thank you for comment I am very pleased to have you here. Hope you can take advantages of it.

Dear Ms Resty
It’s very interesting activity, because not every teacher wants to be a clown in the class ha..ha.. 🙂 . I think this activity needs more energy. Could you you tell me how to keep our stamina while we are teaching our students with some kind activities like this one?
Thank you

- #6 by Ms. Resty on 26 December 2011 - 6:56 pm
  
  preparing a good lesson plan is a start to step a head. Next we divide a well time arrangement for each . And last combining both settled and stirred activities is a must to keep your energy.

- #8 by Ms. Resty on 26 December 2011 - 7:05 pm

I think it’s a good method , because the children will easily accept material which conveyed and it can make students fun, like they’re playing. so that students feel learning while playing.
but how we can handle which hyperactive students?
thank you

#15 by Novera Indiyanti UNIS (7E) on 25 January 2012 - 1:00 pm

Very interesting, do not make the child tired of listening material. but how do I set a good stamina for the teaching process?

- #16 by Ms. Resty on 26 January 2012 - 1:13 am
  
  settled and stirred activity might be used to overcome it.

I think, it’s a good for children. because it can make the students be enjoy with their teacher and as a teacher, we have to manage times to make it be interesting and not too long.

Assalamualaikum Ms. Resti.
I think the method is unique and easy to understand by the students, especially the children. So this method can be a way that makes learning fun for students continue to study English. so that pleasure may arise from the age of our children to love the English language. especially for beginners. However, how that students can always focused and comfortable in learning English? its dedicated to junior high students class VII, Ms.Resti. especially in memorizing vocabulary, they are difficult, lazy. . .

Thank you

Wassalamualaikum 🙂
