I am
Indonesian students who had the experience to do Ujian Akhir Nasional or for short UAN. That is the scariest moment in my education live that is had
to feel in 1 years experience of studying under extreme pressure. That 's
because of the UAN is determine the result of Indonesia students. The big
pressure for most of Indonesia students is English subject.
WHY? Let me
explain it! Indonesian students is using Bahasa
Indonesia as their Second Language. Why did i wrote that ? It's
because of most of Indonesia students is using their local language to their
daily conversation. For your Information according to Wikipedia Indonesia
peoples is consist of 2000 ethnic group.
Bahasa Indonesia is using to unite the
Indonesia peoples. That is why English hard to be input in Indonesia Language
cause of the multi diverse language that peoples need to be learn at the same
time.
Then English
isn’t second-language acquisition for
Indonesia students in the matter of
fact first : Mother Tounge (Local language such as : Malay, Dayakness, Madura,
and et c), second : Bahasa Indonesia, and third the another language that is need to
be learn such as English. Second Language Acquisition or second-language learning is the process by
which people learn a second language. Second-language acquisition (often
abbreviated to SLA) also refers to the scientific discipline devoted to
studying that process. Second language refers to any language learned in
addition to a person's first language; although the concept is named
second-language acquisition, it can also incorporate the learning of third,
fourth, or subsequent languages.[1] Second-language acquisition refers to what
learners do; it does not refer to practices in language teaching(Wikipedia).
Learning is
the process of study that is need to do step by step. If someone is learning
something by skiping one part of it’s that should be damage for them. Because
of it’s could be the matter of the missleading of thier learning or missunderstood
of the learning that could be impact to the result of study. If somenone for
example of Indonesia student who doesn’t have the the basic level of english in
elemantary school and sudenlly learn english in Junior High School may be have problem
in their language learning process and this condition happened to me me!
In my opinion,
if English is putting into UAN
subject that is should be add in the elementary school. What! According
to Indonesia Education System (if
you are Indonesian you should look at this site http://moshimoshi.netne.net/materi/ilmu_pendidikan/bab_8.htm) English is extracurricular subject
that can be add depend to the school selection of subejct that will be add to
each semester. Most of Elementary (in
Indonesia is called Sekolah Dasar or SD) doesn't add English in their subject
at school. Its affecting the ways of students to learn English. Cause's if
they are entering Junior High School, their should be learn English from the
level of elementary school.
Eventually some
of the Elementary school in Indonesia have
had English as their material subject. But, What happen to the student who
doesn't have the English subject in Elementary school. They must be have
problems to learn English and begin from Elementary school level as they are
entering the Junior High School. This is condition must be effecting to the way
of learning student therefore result of study ( UAN).
English must
be put as main subject in Elementary school with the others subject. So the
students can be learn it in the appropriate level and didn't have the problem
to learn it in the basic level.
