PETUA PANDAI BAHASA INGGERIS
Petua Pandai Bahasa Inggeris – Petua 2.1
Posted by Osman Affan under Bahasa Inggeris, Motivasi, Petua
Seperti yang saya nyatakan semalam, untuk menguasai bahasa Inggeris, anda mesti menguasai perbendaharaan katanya. Anda mesti tahu apa perkataan-perkataan berkenaan yang anda mahu sebut. Satu cara paling cepat untuk anda menghafal sebanyak mungkin perbendaharaan kata ialah dengan menulis maksud-maksud perkataan bahasa Inggeris ke dalam satu buku khas.
Begini. Semasa saya membuat persediaan untuk belajar ke United Kingdom di PP ITM Shah Alam pada tahun 1994-1996, tahap penguasaan bahasa Inggeris saya masih agak lemah. Saya sebenarnya lebih cemerlang dalam subjek Bahasa Arab semasa di tingkatan lima. Jadi, saya fikir semula apa yang menyebabkan saya dapat menguasai bahasa Arab lebih cepat. Caranya ialah saya ada satu buku khas yang saya tulis maksud-maksud perkataan bahasa Arab. Bagaimana cara menulisnya?
Katakan anda membaca apa-apa bahan bacaan dalam bahasa Inggeris, anda mungkin akan terjumpa mana-mana perkataan yang anda tidak faham. Apa patut anda lakukan? Ya, rujuk kamus. Selalunya, apa yang pelajar lakukan ialah mereka akan tulis maksud perkataan tersebut di atas bahan bacaan tadi. Maksudnya, jika mereka ada buku cerita bahasa Inggeris, buku itu akan dipenuhi dengan tulisan-tulisan maksud perkataan yang mereka tidak faham. Cara ini tidak berkesan untuk membuat anda hafal perkataan bahasa Inggeris dengan cepat. Mengapa?
Pertama, buku atau bahan bacaan itu akan hilang dan tidak selalu bersama anda. Kedua, apabila maksudnya sudah ada di situ, anda tidak akan mengeluarkan sebarang usaha untuk mengingat maksud tersebut. Anda akan hanya bergantung kepada buku yang sudah ditulis terjemahannya. Jadi, hentikan tabiat begini.
Ini cara yang betul. Ambil satu buku khas, jika boleh, buku berkulit tebal supaya ia lebih tahan. Setiap kali anda jumpa perkataan yang anda tidak tahu maksudnya, rujuk kamus dan tuliskan di dalam buku khas ini tadi. Tulis
1. Perkataan itu
2. Maksudnya (menggunakan bahasa inggeris atau bahasa Melayu)
3. Contoh dalam ayat. (Salin satu contoh ayat. Tidak ada gunanya tahu maksud sesuatu perkataan tetapi tidak tahu bagaimana cara menggunakannya.)
Langkah ketiga itu penting. Anda perlu tahu bagaimana ia digunakan dalam ayat. Contohnya, katakan anda orang asing yang sedang belajar bahasa Melayu. Kemudian anda terjumpa perkataan ‘cekik darah’ dan anda tahu maksudnya iaitu mengenakan harga yang terlau tinggi hingga menganiayai orang lain. Jadi anda buat ayat begini, “Ali cekik darah orang kampung kerana meletakkan harga RM7 bagi sekilo gula”. Adakah betul ayat itu? Tidak bukan? Ayat yang sepatutnya,”Ali dikatakan cekik darah kerana meletakkan harga RM7 bagi sekilo gula.
Praktikkan teknik ini. Jika ia sukar, fikir kembali, anda mahu menguasai bahasa ini atau tidak?

LEARNING ENGLISH USING TECHNOLOGY
Learning English Using Technology
The World Wide Web has opened a whole new world of opportunity to those who need or want to learn English. Instead of being required to go to regular classes and study with a teacher in a traditional setting, which many do not have time to do, those who want to learn English can now do so from the comfort of their own homes on the computer.
Benefits of Learning English with the Computer
Whether you use an online format or a computer software program to learn English, utilizing technology carries many benefits. First, you are able to learn at your own pace. If you take English in a traditional classroom, you are forced to learn at the pace of the rest of the class. If you are more proficient than the average student, you will be held back. On the other hand, if you are learning more slowly than your classmates, you may be left behind. Technological resources allow you to learn as quickly or slowly as you want, giving you the chance to spend extra time on the areas where you need more help.
Another benefit to learning through technology, especially online courses, is the fact that you can learn no matter where you are. As long as you have an Internet connection, and with WiFi technology this is becoming more and more readily available, you can log on to your class and do a lesson or two. If you are required to travel frequently for your job, you can still use the computer to improve your English skills. This is not possible if you enroll in a traditional English class, as you will be required to be present at your scheduled class time.
Learning English Online Works
You are probably wondering if learning English online is going to sacrifice the quality of your speaking and reading ability. If you choose a good online program it will not. The best online English courses give you the chance to practice writing and speaking English. You may need a microphone for your computer in order to speak, or the listening ear of a friend, but you will learn the language well.
Choosing a Program
The key to your success in learning English using the computer is choosing the right program or course. Choose a program that focuses on basic vocabulary first, and then teaches you English through conversation, either written or spoken. Grammar rules are important as well, but if your goal is to be able to converse fluently, you need a program that jumps right into conversation after teaching you some basic words. Grammar rules can be learned after some conversation has been mastered.
Ideally, choose a program taught by native English speakers. Be sure to choose a course that has a listening component. You will need to be able to hear the different sounds of the language repeatedly in order to learn to speak them. This is one way in which learning English with the computer is helpful, because you can replay phrases over and over until you have mastered them.
Other Online Resources
The Internet also gives you the chance to practice reading and writing in English. Since 80 percent of all websites are in English, you can read as much of the language as you want after you have gained a basic understanding of common phrases and vocabulary. In addition to this, chat rooms, online forums, and discussion groups give you the chance to practice writing in English, with the opportunity to get some feedback on your grammar and spelling.
Additionally, there are many websites where you can download worksheets and even games that give you the ability to practice your vocabulary skills. The Internet is a treasure trove for people who are trying to learn English, so stop making excuses, get online, and start learning!
