As it is known that there are many ways that the teacher can use in the learning activity to teach the students. Since this is the globalization era, one of the way that the teacher can use is by using Search Engines when looking for online information. Through Search Engines, both the teacher and the students can search all information from one convenient place and explore related works, citation, authors and publications from others. On this occasion, Search Engines application will be used in English language class. In this class, there are 30 students and all of them are able to use the technology well since they live in the era of the technology development. As the teacher, I will use one meeting in my English class to do the assignment by using Search Engines application.

In order to help students’ language ability, this class will design to help students to improve students’ listening, reading, writing and speaking skills in English language. Since there are many ways that the teacher can implement in the classroom in order to deliver the materials, I will use Search Engines application. As an English language teacher, I use Search Engines application because it provides the teacher with many access to search about what I want to know. I will conduct one meeting in my English class for students to use Search Engines application to do the assignment. The assignment that is given to the students is that they have to find articles about news report and they have to analyse it. Since they live in the technology era, I will use the development of the technology to help them in doing their assignment. First, I will tell them about the activity that they will do in one learning activity before the class start by using Search Engines. I will give the explanation on how to access and how to use the Search Engines, so they can do the assignment. Next, I will give them the example and I will make sure that every students has understood about what they are going to do. After they have understood, I will distribute the assignment and they will do the assignment in pairs, so it will make them easier in doing the assignment. For that reason, this one meeting classroom will be conducted in the computer laboratory in order to help them to access the internet easily.

Google Search Skills as the Effective Way for English Language Students

By: Agata Nina Puspita

In the era of globalization, the technology development has grown fast and it affects the way of teaching-learning activities. As an English teacher, it also affects my own perspectives since the development of the technology helps me a lot to get knowledge from other people and share my knowledge to other people, especially to my students. As a teacher, I also use the development of the technology to design the materials that will be taught to students. In my opinion, it also helps me to give such a fun material for the students, so it helps them to be motivated to join the learning activity in the classroom. In my English class, since the development of the technology has given many benefits for both teacher and students, I also introduce many application to my students that may help them in searching for the information that they want to know. One of the application is using Google Search which helps them to get new knowledge.

As an English teacher, in some meeting of my class, I will use Google Search in order to help them to get the information from other people easily. First, I will introduce them to Google Search. I will give some explanations about the search engines that will be used in my class. The explanation will include about how to use it and how it works in order to get the information for them easily. Next, I will give examples about how to use it in the classroom. After they have understood how to use it, I will give some assignment which is related with Google Search application, so in the future time, they are able to use it. The last, in the end of the meeting, the students will submit their works to the teacher. Therefore, for this meeting, my class will be conducted in the computer laboratory, so the students will able to access the internet easily.

In my opinion, through Google Search, students can get many benefits, such as improving students’ vocabulary. By applying Google Search in the classroom activity, it helps students to learn English in many ways and it can also improve their knowledge about how to use the development of the technology as well. Besides, by using Google Search, students are able to test and improve their English language skills, such as their reading, listening, writing and speaking skills. Therefore, as an English teacher, I hope that every teacher will also implement the development of the technology in their classroom activity in order to help students to be more motivated in learning, especially learning English language. 

Using Google Aps in English Language Classroom Activity

By: Agata Nina Puspita

Nowadays, there are many online application that can be used by the teacher in order to give the materials to students. Using online application may also help both teacher and students to reach their learning goals in the teaching-learning activity since the development of the technology has grown fast in this globalization era. One of the application is by using Google Aps which involve the application of Google Drive. As an English Teacher, I also use Google Drive in order to help me sharing my materials to both my fellow and my students, so we are able to get information from each other easily.

In my English class, in the first meeting of the classroom activity, I ask my students to make a google account in order to make both of us easier in sharing the materials during one semester. After they have created their own google account, I share all of the learning materials including the syllabus for one semester through Google Drive. After we have done the class, I share the materials that are taught in the classroom to their account, so they are able to get the materials immediately. Besides, I also share the students’ progress on their assignment through Google Drive, so they are able to know their own progress. I do all of them continuously, so they do not miss any information from the teacher. Therefore, as a teacher, I always ask them to check their Google Drive, so they can get the information from their teacher easily.

Besides sharing the materials, I also ask my students to submit their assignment to my Google account in order to make me easier in checking students’ assignment. After I have finished checking my students’ assignment, I also give the feedback immediately, so they can get both the feedback and the score easily. In the teaching-learning activity, as a teacher, I also need suggestions from other teachers, so I also ask what I still do not understand about the teaching-learning activity to my fellow. As the result, Google Drive really helps me in order to get and share the information easily.
