Bismillah Assalaamualaikum Hello readers this is the next review of several components, especially about literature review of journal “The Importance of Vocabulary in Language Learning and How to be taught”. Literature review - The Importance of Learning Vocabulary - English in the Saudi Educational System - Teaching Vocabulary In the literature review the author said that vocabulary knowledge is important for students of English education, because vocabulary can affect the successful of communication. Based on authors’ teaching experience, he found the English learning system in schools focusses more on grammar mastery, even though actually students majoring in English are very dependent on their supervision of vocabulary rather than  grammar. In fact, as much as vocabulary students have, they will get better learn, but learning of grammar should not be eliminated or ignored. The other problem is that there are still many teachers who are still confused about how to tea...

Halloo everyone..  come back again with me on my blog As like what I said last week that i would like to review the journal of The Importance of Vocabulary in Language Learning and How to be Taught each part per week. This time I am going to review the intoduction of that journal. Hope you enjoy it To make a sentence or read something we should know the meaning of each vocabulary first. Therefore, vocabulary is one of the important part of learning english. Cameron argue that "Vocabulary, as one of the knowledge areas in language, plays a great role for learners in acquiring a language" (Cameron, 2001). I agree with Cameron's statement, because when I read several books or journals, I found it difficult to understand the meaning of the contents of the reading, because I did not know the meaning of each vocab. Also when I try to make sentences, I feel confused because I lack vocabulary. When I don't know the meaning of each vocab. Some researchers also argue tha...

Assalaamuaalaikum Halloo everyone Welcome back on my blog Since the end of the Second World War in 1945 English become an international language. Now a day, so many people who want to master English, because when they master English they can talk with other people in different country and also can get information easily. As we know, English is a foreign language in our country Indonesia, accordingly we only get the material to understanding English in the school. Therefore, school has a big responsibility for students ability about English. Thus far, many teachers are not confident about the best practice in vocabulary teaching and at times do not know where to begin till the most basic principle in vocabulary teaching and learning have been forgotten or ignored, because schools usually only focus on learning grammar. Wilkins (1972) states that: There is not much value in being able to produce grammatical sentences if one has not got the vocabulary that is needed to convey what on...

This time I will share my experience after reading my friends' blogs that reviewed several books. Happy reading The first blog I read was a blog that reviewed the book "Scouting for Boy". The book reminded me when I was in middle school. At that time I was able to take part in the scout extracurricular activity, but after entering high school I no longer participated in the extracurricular activity. After reading the book, I thought about getting the book to my friends who were still active in scouts to develop their abilities and knowledge about scouts. Then the second blog reviewed the book "A Million Dollar Dream by Merry Riana". I think the book is very good. Even though I just read the review, it managed to make me motivated. I feel that the book can always encourage us to reach all our dreams, and never give up on that. The third blog is reviewing the book "Habit of Individual". From the book there is one sentence that I think is v...

Welcome reader This blog is still discussing the book "the power of creativity". This time I will review chapter five to the end. Happy reading 5. Find creative master When you face a problem that may not be understood by others, keep calm and believe that you are able to overcome the problem. According to the author we should look for a great mentor who can understand your shortcomings and can help you overcome areas where you need help. You will become accomplished and creative if you have a mentor to guide you. A great mentor will help you connect ideas in exciting ways, think on higher level and achieve your creative goals faster. Therefore, when you become more skilled at your craft, start questioning some of your mentor’s ideas and teachings. They might not like this push-back, and many mentor/student relationships end acrimoniously. However, if you go into this type of relationship with your eyes open, you will be prepared for the inevitable end of the me...

Okay readers this is the next review of book “the power of creativity”. Chapter 3: TRACE YOUR CREATIVE ROOTS In this section the author invites readers to spend our lives on thousands of valuable creative endeavors. He also invited us to immediately find our passion in art, because if we don't know where we are going, life today will sweep away like an object floating on a river. In this chapter there are also several small titles, namely: Your Guiding purpose Here the author tells of his experience, when moving jobs and even being unemployed, because he was confused what to do while he was writing his passion. At that time he thought that if he liked writing meant he had to become a journalist again while he didn't like the job. While searching for her identity, he saw people enjoying themselves with their work despite being in a state of crisis. But from there he realized that "creativity doesn't just appear at will.
