Some people say that English is fun and easy. Look around! A lot of children in Australia or England or in other countries are very good in speaking English.(Of course?!) But some other people say that English is difficult and annoying! The way to spell or the way to understand what is the meaning of some sentences make them say that English is difficult.
But well, English is so easy when we have a strong willing to study it. Dr. Marsigit, one of an English lecturer in Yogyakarta State University said that we have to search by ourselves to learn English. He will give the 15% and the 85% is ours.
A man who have visited London for the first time in 1975, said that there were some ways of precondition to work due to communication in English, especially in the class of Bahasa Inggris II. They are:
1. Motivation
Someone who have strong motivation will work hard to do something. For example, in learning, maybe someone study because their parents ask him or her so that in the future they hope that she or he will have better life. In another condition, maybe someone study because of someone he or she loved.
But the highest motivation in doing everything is for Allah. We may do learning for our parents, to get some good marks, or others but the main point that we should have is that we do learning for Allah. To say thanks for everything given by Him, and to understand more that Allah is The Greatest one through objects we are learning about.
2. Attitude or behavior
A boxer will do a lot of exercises and eat some vitamins to get strong body. He will exercise regularly so that he win in some competitions. That's a boxer. What about a student, especially a university student?
University students have to behave as a university student, not like students of elementary school who always wait for their teacher to get some homework. University students have to search by their selves. Not just listen and write in their books when the lecturer is teaching, but they have to find some references to get the complete one. There are a lot of facilitates like library and internet to use.
3. Understanding
It's just the same with reading a French newspaper but we don't know what's the meaning when we don't understand about what we are learning about. We always listen and write what the lecturers say, but if we don't understand at all, we have nothing. Because what is the most important to do in our learning is understanding. Than we can do some other way like exercise or do practices when we have understood what we are learned about.
4. Skill
We live in globalization era and the technology is so wonderful. If we can not use the modern technology, we will be 'an outback human'. There is no different with people who can not read any letters because in the past they don't studied . Skill is very important for us who want to survive in the globalization era. But it does not mean that we have to follow what the most people do, because we have ourselves religion and we have ourselves God. Not only hard skill that we must have but also soft skill. Through some training or learn from books or join a seminar we can increase our skill.
5. Experience
Experience is the best teacher. That sounds very familiar in our ears. Because from elementary school we have had that sentences in the wall in our classroom. Through learning from many subjects, we are wished to have a lot of experiences. Not always go to abroad or other places that we have not been visited before, but from the subjects we are learning, we can get a lot of experiences. Join some organizations or competitions will increase our knowledge too so that it can be our new experiences.
6. Communication
That will be very funny when someone does not need any speaking to others. We live as a social creature and we need communication, of course. The most important between a lecturer and the students is communication too. Because without any communication, we won't understand about what others mean. Through Bahasa Inggris II, we are all wished to communicate well especially in English. Not just know about the grammar, or vocabularies, but know how to speak. And the important thing that we should know is what knowledge we are learning for.
Either life or English is a choice. It depends on our selves from what side we want to see. But, whatever English that we have to learn in Bahasa Inggris II is from and for ourselves, not the others even the lecturer.
