Christine Sun Kim was born deaf, and she was taught to believe that sound was not part of her life, that it was a hearing thing.

In mathematics, the letter "x" represents an unknown variable. It's also arguably one of the most popular in its packaging. We can see everywhere: Generation X, X-Files, and TEDx. So why does "x" represent the unknown? Terry says that, A few years ago, he decided to start learning Arabic. He considered it a very precise language and full of information. Learning a language, and even speaking, is similar to composing a mathematical equation. Perhaps this is why everything we know as science, engineering, and mathematics has derivation in the Arabic system, especially algebra. When Arabic texts entered Spain in the 11th century, Europe wanted to translate this mathematical wisdom from the East into a written Western language. Attempts to do so, however, proved problematic. As it turns out, the Arabic voice does not translate well into European speech patterns, nor is there sufficient character to represent these voices. The Arabic word meaning "

A.     Conclution             There are some advantages and disadvantages of the gadget, but it is revert to those who use the gadget whether they are more looking from the positive direction or not.

THE INFLUENCE OF GADGET TO CHILDREN A.     Background Contemporary young children are part of the generation of digital natives (Fleer, 2011; Prensky, 2001a, 2001b). Young children in this study refer to children aging from 0 to 8 years (Bredekamp & Copple, 1997). They live in a world enveloped by technologies and use technologies in their daily life (Hague & Payton, 2010; Plowman, Stevenson, Stephen, & McPake, 2012). Many countries recognize the increasing role of technology in children’s lives. They emphasize the development of technology-integrated curricula that are developmentally appropriate for young children and that help to bridge young children’s digital experiences at home and in school (Mawson, 2003; McKenney & Voogt, 2009; Plowman, Stevenson, McPake, Stephen, & Adey, 2011).

1.1. Implementation of puppet in teaching speaking narrative text Wood (1996:104) states that small group working technique is also sometimes referred to collaborative or cooperative learning. Students work together to get insight and ideas, solve problems, complete assignments, or do laboratory tasks and other types of projects exercises. By making groups, the teacher can manage the class easier. Besides that the students have to try how they work with other people who have the different abilities. there were three activities. Those were, first, the teacher gave brainstorming to the students about the topic. Then the teacher explained the material (narrative text) to the students clearly. The second activity, the teacher explained about the puppet and gave the example of puppet show. After that the teacher asked the students to make the dialogue about a story of narrative text. The students had to change a written story into dialogue use their language and they wrote down in a p

1.1. Puppet A teacher may use teaching aids such as puppet and. By using puppet can be used as one way to teach students in speaking subject. Puppet means the media which is made to show the character. Puppet is a highly effective and dynamically creative means of exploring the richness of interpersonal communication (Sinclair: 1995:67) We can make it by ourselves. Using this media will make the students become creative. Teaching English to children (Young Learners) requires a well-planned strategy so that students are motivated to learn. Teachers can create things that make students interested visually first to further lead them to the material to be taught. Scott and Ytreberg (1990) explain , “Their own understanding comes through hands and eyes and ears. The physical world is dominant at all times.” Dressing and decorating puppets require imagination. Each puppet must become a character through its costume and through the way it is decorated or painted. Story telling can be made

1.       Discussion 1.1. Speaking There are four skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing that are thought in English. Speaking seems to be the most important skills of all the four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) because people who know a language are usually referred to as speakers of that language (Ur, 1996). The major goal of all English language teaching should be to give learners the ability to use English effectively, accurately in communication (Davies & Pearse, 1998). However, not all language learners after many years studying English can communicate fluently and accurately because they lack necessary knowledge. Speaking is considered the most important skills, because there is an assumption that students must learn and speak English fluently in this globalization era. In junior high school speaking should be learn and should be practicingin the classroom. The students must try to speak in English lesson to make them to communicat

1.       Background of study Teaching language needs good and interesting media. Media used in the teaching learning activity will keep the learner focus on the teacher, thus the classroom will be on teacher’s control. The media used should be effective and interesting; Suyanto (2007: 6.4) said that the use of effective and interesting media in teaching can help the students understand the material easily. English teaching and learning have the goal of focusing students so that they are able to use English for communication and as a tool for furthering their studies. In foreign language teaching and learning, ability to speak is the most essential skill since it is the basic for communication and it is the most difficult skill. Speaking is one of the important skills to be mastered. This skill is one of tool’s communications. Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and also processing information (Brown, 1994:28). Sp

Many people believe that a new way of communicating, texting, destroys the elegance and beauty of writing and language. However, John McWhorter presents the opposite idea in the Ted Talk video, "Txting is Killing Language. JK !!". He said it, " texting is miraculous!”. McWhorter believes that texting is not bad, as many claim. He talks about the topic of how when children first learn to write all their words crammed into the fact that, they write the way we speak. He refers to texting as, "fingered speech", because we type loosely and how we speak.             He does not see texting as a form of writing. Instead, he states that it's actually a way of writing how you speak. Jhon says If we look back on history, most of the communication has spoken. Writing is a relatively new invention. So to say that writing in the way we speak is harmful to communications is ridiculous, because talking is the ultimate form of communication. Of course there are times

Kelly McGonical is an psychologist. He conducted a study that looked at 30,000 adults in the US for 8 years. She said that stress is harmful to health. Started by asking people, "How much stress have you experienced in the last year?" And also asked, "Do you believe that stress is harmful for your health?". People who experienced a lot of stress in the previous year had a 43 percent increased risk of dying. But that is only true for the people who also believes that stress is harmful for your health. That is over 20,000 deaths a year, and she also said if that estimate is correct, that would make believing stress is bad for you. This study shows that instead of the stress that kills people, it is a belief that stress is dangerous. By reshaping how you think about stress, you can restore the body's response. Kelly have been spending so much energy telling people stress is bad for your health. Kelly says when stress, the heart beats faster, breathes faster, a

Diana Laufenberg discusses her presentation entitled "How to Learn? From Mistakes." Diana Laufenberg is a teacher who shares some of the things she learned about how most teachers teach and how most children learn. She told of her grandmother in the 1930s, when Diana's grandmother was in class, Diana said that the purpose of going to class was getting information. Students get all their information from the teacher and keep everything in their brain. When Diana was at school, information became more accessible in the form of encyclopedias and textbooks. Diana started teaching in Kansas. After her first year of teaching, she decided that she needed to change her approach to teaching. After Diana Laufenberg used traditional pedagogical methods during her first year of teaching, she realized that learning has changed deeply. Diana asked the question, "Are we really comfortable letting the kids fail?" For Laufenberg, failure is part of teaching and learning. Fo

Movie review " Cek Toko Sebelah ". On this occasion I want to review about the movie " Cek Toko Sebelah ". The film from ernest prakasa entitled " cek toko sebalah " is starred by Ernest Prakasa who acts as Erwin, Dion Wiyoko as Yohan, Chew Kin Wah as Koh Afuk. The film works from Ernest Prakasa tells the story of parents who compare their children. Parents who think that a child who is a graduate from the best university should be able to continue the business of parents. While children whose lives are full of problems and messy, labeled as a child who is not useful and will not be able to do anything, such as continuing the efforts of parents because to take care of themselves are still not able. Ernest's hard work combines elements of drama and comedy into one complete package. I think it's worth a thumbs up. Personally, Ernest was able to make me watching the movie laugh, sadly, then back again to laugh out loud, the film is eno
