Language is a
tool of communication; therefore, it is very important thing in order to make
good connection with the others. Any kinds of languages can be used to create a
communication; it depends on the situation and condition in which the
communication is done. The purpose of using the language is the message of the
speakers can be delivered successfully; it means that a good communication will
be happened as long as the language that is used is understandable and acceptable.
English language
is the international language which is applied universal so that it is used in
every corner of the world. Whenever and wherever we go around the world, it
will be easier if we can speak English. The globalization era requires the Balinese
people to be able to use English because Bali
is a destination island for the foreigners to enjoy their holiday.
There two terms
of Balinese people learn English;
1.
Balinese people who live near the tourism object will
be able to use English communicatively (understandable and acceptable) because
they are affected by the environment.
2.
Nowadays, in educational environments, the Balinese people
are thought English language so that the view “English is difficult” can be
changed because they learn English from the basic one. Learning English must be
started from the easiest one to build the learners’ understanding about the language.
The easiest one is learning the language through vocabulary which will be
continued to the longer discourses. (grammatically correct)
Vocabulary → phrases → sentences → paragraphs
→ discourses
In passing
those steps, there will be some appropriate techniques that are used to help the
achievement of the learning process by considering the level and the ability of
the learners.
In
summary,
The
Balinese people who learn from society
→ communicative English > grammatical English
The
Balinese people who learn from formal educational environment
→ grammatical English > communicative English
as we know that most of people who learn English through academic process will have a level of the English knowledge higher than the one who don't have any academic background; however, we still find that most of them are not able to communicate in society. So what do you think about it?
ReplyDeleteThx! It's nice comment.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm in a line with you. Generally, the people who learn English through academic process must be able to speak grammatically better than the ones who learn from society; nevertheless, in fact, there are some of them can't applied in the society. In my point of view, there are some factors that influence;
- Nervous
- Afraid to make mistakes in term of grammar
- There's no courage
- The only few vocabulary that they know
- No idea
Those happen because in academic environments, the learners tend to use correct English forms in written language and the only a rare opportunity to use the spoken language. It means that the lack of practicing English in direct communication.
But, it will be different if the learners exactly have problems in their English ability. The difficulty of spoken language in society will be appeared because of the lack ability in understanding the language. It shows that they have low basic ability in accept the language, that's why it feels uneasy when they have to express the language.
