My 4^th Reflection during MMSEL Class

Developing interest in learning activity during SEP

            To create successful learning process we as the educator should get students’ attention first so that they focus on the topic and learn everything easily and happily. Despite that we must construct students’ prior knowledge before they get the new topic, in order they do not confuse with the new topic.

            To construct students’ prior knowledge in SEP, I used a song because it contextual into students’ daily activities. Almost every single day they sing a song. Due to that to construct prior knowledge in learning ‘TENSE’ during SEP I asked them to sing an English favorite song.

            After singing, I tried to relate a lyric to ‘Present Form’ (the topic that we discussed) step by step until students understood how to relate tenses with our daily lives. When they had understood that there were relation between songs and ‘Tense’ it will increase intrinsic interest in learning process.

            No matter the topic that I taught in SEP, I always used ‘opening session’ to hook students’ attention and prior knowledge on the purpose they will learn the lesson straightforwardly and fulfill my target i.e. there will be useful, meaningful and purposeful learning process.
