Inside and Outside Circle ( January, 31, 2007)This is one of Best Practice strategy in teaching argumentative speaking. I try to motivate my students by bringing them out of class and let them speak freely to communicate each other. I teach in big class with 48 students. I divide them into two groups. Each group consists of 24 students who are divided to two groups. One is inside and the other is in outside.
In order the outside students pay attention to their friends, I give task to every tudents as
observer. They have a task to observe their friends differently. Every student has to focus in his/her task while students who are in inside are busy speaking and giving their arguments. It works well.
I also practice best practice in making rubric in my class. Finally they make performance in story telling. It works well because the students know the rule exactly in what they have to do for having an excellent mark.
I have implemented some best practices that I had from East West Center that made me teach in various methods and strategies. I am so happy to know that my students look happier in studying English.

FIRST WINNER OF WEST JAVA PROVINCE BEST ACHIEVEMENT TEACHER
Every year the government holds Best Achievement Teachers competition. It begins from school level, city, province and finally National.

In this competition, I had some tests such as educational knowledge, government rules for teacher, an action research paper presentation of what we had taught to our students, interview to some students, colleagues, headmaster and supervisor by the judges about our personality.
I was chosen as the first winner in my city and I had to join Province Teacher Competition.
In this competition, I became the first winner for Senior High School teacher. Therefore I joined National Competition in Jakarta. We had 2 full day tests. The schedule started from 7.30 a.m to 10 pm. Having finished the test we had some session which represented by very good keynote speakers such as Kak Seto, I Gede Raka, Soemarno Soedarsono and the committee brought us to legislative building to hear Indonesian President speech and we went to Indonesian President Palace to have Indonesian Independence Ceremony. Finally Mr.Bambang Yudhoyono, Indonsian President, invited us to come to Sahid Hotel to have a photo taken together. It was a wonderful time I have ever had. Although I didn’t win in National Competition, I had so many exciting experiences, learned many things and had a lot of friends around Indonesia.
Here is some photos :
