SEVERAL THINGS THAT WE MUST KNOW IN ENGLISH TEACHING

Children have different characteristics in learning like i said before. There are children who have strong will to learn English and children who do not have will to learn English. Children who have strong will to learn is good for us and easy to teach them. However, we must know several things when we teach them. AS teachers, there are several things when we teach them English.

The first thing is we must teach them from easiest things first. This is so important to us when we teach them. When we teach them about English, teach them step by step from easiest things. When we teach speaking, teach them some easy words which they can understand first just like car, door, father, mother, etc. After that, ask them to repeat what we have said to them. In writing, teach them to write some easy words or write down the easy words what we have said. If we do not teach them from easiest things first, children will get confused and can not understand what we have said and taught to them. It is because children brain can not get a lot of memories than the adults.

The next thing is we must teach them in good and positive ways. This also important to us in teaching process. In teaching process, we must teach them in good and positive ways. We must use good words in teaching. Teach them some words who have positive meanings and ask them to write down the words or repeat that. Do not teach in bad ways or negative ways. If we teach them with bad words and negative ways, the children will not feel comfortable in learning process and their will to learn will disappear. Worse, they will imitate bad words what we have said to them.

Finally, we must know those things in teaching process. We must teach them in good and positive ways, and from easiest things first. If we do that correctly, children will feel comfortable and happy in learning. We as a teacher will also feel comfortable and we can teach them happily. So, I suggest you all to teach children about English correctly. I suggest this because it will be good for us and for children.

FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE THE CHILDREN LEARNING

Like i said before there are a lot of things to developed children English skill. We can use a lot of ways and technique to develop their English skill. However, there are some things that we must know when we develop their skills. Actually there are factors that influence children learning. The factors can be from inside the children or from the outside.

The first factor is from the inside. The factor is children will. This is the most important that influence children in learning. If children will to learn English is strong, it can be easy to teach them and the learning process will going well. When their will to learn is strong, they will get and understand what we teach. So as a teacher, we must make their will to learn English strong if we want their learning process going well and children can understand what we teach to them. However, if children will to learn English is weak or do not have will to learn English, it can be difficult to teach them. Children will hardly get and understand what we teach to them or for the worse, they cannot get and understand what we teach to them. If that thing happens, the learning process will not going well as we hope.

Next factor is their psychology conditions. This factor has strong relation with the first factor. Psychology conditions of children has big influence in children learning process. If children psychology conditions is good or better, their learning process will be good. They can learn English well and can get and understand what we teach to them. In contrary, if their psychology conditions is not good or bad, the learning process will not going well and they will not understand what we teach to them. They will ignore what we teach to them.

Next factor is family. Family is a strong and important factor that influence children learning process. This factor also has strong relation with two factors above. If there is a family member who can understand English and teach English, the learning process will going well. They will be helped in learning process. When they go home after the school, they can ask and tell what they have learned and what they understand about English in school. The family member who has knowledge English also can ask them to practice what they have learned and teach them again about English. It is good if children have a family member who has knowledge of English and understand English, but it is better if they have more than one family member who are understand English. If they have more than one family who can understand English and have knowledge of English, they will get more knowledge of English and their learning process will going better and may be they can make progress in learning.

Next factor is environment. This is also an important factor in their learning process. If they were born and raised in a good environment, they will learn English well. It is also good if the people of that environment have knowledge of English or the environment use English in communication. It will help children in learning English. However, if they were born and raised in a bad environment, their learning process will not going well and can be worse. It is good if they were born and raised in environment which people on them do not have English knowledge as long as that environment is a good environment. However, if the environment is bad environment, it can affect children learning and I think it can be worse if they learn the negative side from the environment.

Finally, as a teacher, we must know those factor in learning process. We must give them help in learning. We must support them in their learning. What we have taught them will influenced them in learning process. However, the important thing that we must know is teach them good and positive things.
