Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!!! 

We meet again in our blog. Today, we had post a  few new topics. We hope this topic will help you to be more interested and having a great passion with English. 

Ways To Improve Your English

1. Start your own English language blog just like us!. it is so easy to do. no need to write down in a piece of paper and keep worrying your paper will be messy or dirty with your messy handwriting and your liquid paper trace. it is so simple because it is just like writing your diaries and a place to be discussing many new things.
2. Listen to MP3s. Although buying music on the internet is becoming more popular in many countries, not so many people know that you can download speech radio such as audio books (an actor reading out a novel) and speech radio. This is a lot better practice for your English than listening to English music, from sources like Scientific American, BBC and Australia's ABC Radio it is also free.  
3. Listen to English music. Even listening to music while doing something else can help a little for things like getting used to the natural rhythm and tone of English speech, although the more time and attention you give to a song the more you will learn from listening to it again in the future. In fact, this is also helping you to relax your mind and make you feel calm.
4. Read the lyrics to a song. Although just listening to a song in English can be a good way of learning English you also need to take some time to read the lyrics of the song with a dictionary. If the lyrics are not given in the CD booklet, you may be able to find them on the internet. Once you have read and understood the lyrics,  if you then listen and read at the same time, this can be a good way of understanding how sounds change in fast, natural, informal speech. As a result, his will help you a lot to understand a rapper part in once song.
5. Sing karaoke in English. The next stage after understanding and memorising a song is obviously to sing it. Although some words have their pronunciation changed completely to fit in with a song, most of the words have the same sounds and stressed syllables as in normal speech. Remembering which words rhyme at the end of each line can also be a good way of starting to learn English pronunciation. 
6. Have English radio on in the background while you are doing your housework. Even if you are not listening carefully, it will help you get a feel for natural English rhythm and intonation.

How to Promote the Use of The English Language???

1. We know that exposure to language through visual or print and oral medium is essential.  This is what the textbook, other print and audio materials, and the teacher’s language attempt to do. This exposure is alone not sufficient. We need to give opportunities to children to work with language. Children should read, think about the ideas of the text, understand the meaning of the words, associate them with ideas and other words, notice the form of the structures, while being exposed to the language and working with language on their own. This engagement with language makes them internalize meaning of words and structures. 
2. In addition to textbook activities, project work could be used as an effective strategy to promote English where learners in groups work together to do an activity or a task for some period. When learners work together on a particular idea or topic, they collect information, ideas, observe language being used, use language in real life situations, exchange views and debate on ideas, write the ideas into a report, edit their writing and produce the report in a suitable form.

What are the activities that we love the most when its comes to

 English language???

1. Group work. It will enhance our skills in giving a speech or ways to talk in front of audience.
2. Learning grammar. It help us a lot in improving our grammar, and giving us a lot of understand about the type of sentences and its structure.
3. Listening and speaking English. It made us be more alert and makes us give a full attentions during this time. Its kind of  like taking MUET test. Its quite hard, but fun. :)
4. Ways to pronounce the A, B, C..., Z sound. This is so fun because we can see a lot of funny faces trying hard to pronounce the each letter. :P

Hello and Assalamualaikum ......

This week, we have been given a title from our beloved lecturer, Miss Intan about myth that we heard before. Thus, three of us agreed to share with all of you about the myth of  Si Tanggang. We are sure,all of you have heard about this myth. This myth is very popular among Asian especially for Malaysian and Indonesian.

In the old days, Si Talang and Si Deruma have a son named Si Tanggang. They were having a poor life. Si Tanggang always dreams to become a rich and famous person.

One day, Si Tanggang saw a large ship anchored at the mouth of the river near his home. Si Tanggang went to the ship that he had seen before and ask the captain to be his crew. Then, the captain agreed to make Si Tanggang as his crew because of the ability of Si Tanggang boating and working.

Although Si Talang and Si Deruma are very sad to release Si Tanggang to sail on the big ship , they still need to let go of their beloved son. Si Tanggang promised to return to the village after he succeed as seafarers.

Si Tanggang does anything that was ordered by the skipper. The master is very proud of him because he is a very hard working person. Then, Si Tanggang was being adopted by the captain. When the captain became ill, Si Tanggang was being appointed to be the new captain. He was called as master Tanggang.
Si Tanggang was very good at business. Due to that, he becomes a famous person. Thus he was invited by the Sultan to the palace. Soon, Si Tanggang married with princess Sultan. Si Tanggang brings his wife sailed to many places all over the state.
One day, Si Tanggang ship anchored in the river estuary village origins. The villagers know that Si Tanggang captain. They even told the parents.

Si Talang and Si Deruma even go paddle boat heading to the ship master Tanggang. Si Deruma also bring  Si Tanggang  favorite food.
Upon arrival at the ship, one crew banned them up. Later, Si Tanggang appeared with his wife.
When Si Tanggang saw her parents, she felt very embarrassed because of his parents looked very frail and weak. He did not want his wife to know that poor couple in front of them are the parents. Si Tanggang denied and disobeyed his parents.
Si Talang and Si Deruma feel too sad and disappointed. It does not surprise their loved ones have changed. They would paddle to the edge.
When they arrived on the mainland, Si Deruma looked at the sky. While lifting both hands he cried, "Oh, God! Teach Si Tanggang that I am the mother. "
Suddenly a lightning strikes. The wind was blowing strong. Ship in the harbor is wobbling. At those times, Si Tanggang feel regret. He realized that God listens to his mother. He will receive the reward for having disobeyed.
"Oh, mother! Forgive Tanggang. Tanggang admit, Tanggang son mother! ' The clamor Tanggang.
However, Si Tanggang was too late. Strong waves breaking ship. When the storm subsided, the ship Si Tanggang turned into stone. All crew also turned to stone. Si Tanggang and his wife is also a stone.

In conclusion, the story is very interesting for us because this story has many lessons for us. Until today, the actual site of Si Tanggang together his crew were on oath to stone has to be asked. Some were said to be placed in our country and there is also said to be the place in the neighboring country of Indonesia.
