Abstract

Nobody denies that the main purpose of teaching English, as a foreign language, in Indonesia especially,  is the learners are able to use English to communicate. In fact, it is found that most of students know much about English but when they are asked to use it in communication, they cannot, even their pronunciation in reading is still poor. They aren’t also be able to ask question to the interlocutor. These can be caused by many factors; one of them is the teachers do not make students accustomed to use English in the classroom. It also happens at SMPN Padang, The English teacher  and students often do code switching to Indonesia, so the students are not accustomed to use English. Based on that finding, it is wise to implement “question based” model in teaching English as an alternative teaching model to improve the students’ capability to use English as communication and to build the students’ character of self confidence and critical thinking. Keywords: Character, question-based model, ELT

Abstract

In the process of life, we had made human beings as the subject of education. In that process, a person learns and understands of the others’ character, nature, feeling, and the way of thinking. Character is defined as a way of thinking and behaving that is typical of each individual to live and work together, both within the family, community, nation, and state that shows how a person behaves. The process of character formation is mainly directed to students. Fairy tale can be used as a tool or a bridge to achieve the mission and vision of character education. Before the society is familiar with writing, the fairy tales were used as media of social values and very in teaching from one generation to another generation. In addition to being used to sharpen the students’ fantasy and imagination, telling a fairy tale is a very effective method of delivering messages to the learners. Moreover, the activities of storytelling are also the best tool in the process of refreshing the tense atmosphere back to the pleasant atmosphere. Understanding and cultivation of character education through the fairy tale will be more easily applied by learners in daily life through the study of literature which is also expected to establish a scientific attitude.   Keywords: fairy tale, character education, scientific attitude

Abstract

Children’s literature is a literary works consumed and/or produced by children in their inter-action to the environment. This kind of literature tends to be marginalized in academic, productivity and the use of the literature itself. Compared to children’s literature of other regions existing in Minangkabau territory seems almost forgotten. Children’s literature contains ideology of the author and his collectivity which is unconsciously easy and straight will be absorbed by the children, and it will influence their character, for example, they want to become a figure of hero from the comics or story they read. So easy are the children absorbed in the story they read, therefore, we need and idea to offer and serve children literature texts containing local character, particularly Minangkabau, and generally Indonesia so that they do not go off their Indonesian root. The discussion on the children literature becomes urgent. Any children literature of Minangkabau having become tradition, how the production, and the use of them for children’s world must paid attention on. The children’s literature of Minangkabau may be said available in oral form, and may be covered in punning when they are inter-acting to the environment. The creation and production are quite saddening. Meanwhile the use of it tends to be marginalized either in daily life or in education. From academic point of view there is so little making use of it as a material of study as well as from production view pint there not many children’s literature born in comparison to adult’s, or juvenile’s one. Let alone the use of it, the children tend to consume the imported one for they are more various, and packed more interestingly. In fact, the children literature may put on the foundation to form characterized national generation based on creativity, plurality tolerance.   Keywords: ideology, character, marginal, and children’s literature.
