 The first topic is presented by Prof.DR. L.S.Bangun, M.Ed, TEFL about Responding To Global Challenges Through Quality English Teachers. It is begin from 10.00 until 11.45 .

Beginning the speech, Mr.Bangun tell the short story about his study and career in education. He had been lives in Philippines for  a study after graduate from IKIP Jakarta, and now He is became an English speaker  at some Universities in Indonesia.

The topic that he has presented told about the quality problems of English teachers and How to became a Succeed Person through English learning.

He also explained about Why of English language became an International language. There are four factors to needed, those are, 1. The number of native speakers that the language has (mean=all people in the world using English); 2. Geographically dispersed: in how many continents and countries is the language used or is a knowledge of it necessary? Big population of English speakers in other countries; 3. The vehicular load of the language: to what extent is it a medium for a science or literature or other highly regarded cultural manifestation—including ‘way of life’; 4. The economic and political influence of those who speak the language as ‘their own’ language.

So, how about Indonesian language? too hard to get all of above factors.

What are they said about the topic?:

Chep : It’s a good speech that I’d ever heard. The spoken use in a simple and easy to understand. Nice speech.

Khoir: I can be catch what the speech.

Lamz: yes, I understand

And many others of comments.

 That is the last topic has presented by Dr. Fidesrinur, M.Pd. It’s concern about teaching and learning English approaches.

Curriculum can be defined as a plan for action (written document), which includes strategies for achieving desires goals or ends.

About teaching English approaches, Mr.Fidesrinur said, We have to understand for the differences of approach, method, and technique. Here are the suggest; 1. Approach is a set of correlative assumption dealing with the nature of language teaching and learning; 2. Method is an overall plan for orderly presentation of language material, not part of which contradict; 3. Technique is implementation that which actually takes place in the classroom.

The audience are given their comment and asking a question in English, so do I. It’s look like in a great conference in abroad.

Finally, the English Seminar is finish at 15:30, and closed with a great applause.
