Using Puppet As A Media For Teaching Speaking Narrative Text [Part IV]

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 very interesting with the help of different puppets to receive the right kind of response from the kids.  In Boeriswati’s research (2013),  was found that puppet encourage students to speak, be confidence, be more interested in learning. It was also found that puppet was colorful, fun and could enrich students imagination. Students were be able to do simulating on how they live in the society coming from different ethnicity, race, religion, class, social status and economic background. Supporting statement also states by Korosec (2002) in Brezigar (2010) who says that “It is incredible to see how the children trust the puppet. They believe that puppet sleeps, that it watches over them, that it learns together with them, that it listens to them.
Examples of using hand puppets when learning introduction: Use hand puppet as a model in introducing yourself. For instance: Hello my name is ... I am six years old. My hobby is swimming and so on. The teacher can change the voice according to the character to make it more interesting.

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.
