My Dear City

West Kalimantan is diversity of 3 multi - cultural ethnic in Indonesia. Pontianak and Singkawang is the city of West Kalimantan. Pontianak is my born city. The sun is streaming and the ice tea is the most scene that you will see in my born-land. The most important thing that you should wear in my place to make you comfortable is may be umbrella. 

I have the story with it when my lecturer from Alabama, America teaching us english in University of Tanjungpura he is the first foreigner i ever see and talk in my life. He is the man who always wear hat and borrow water in his hand. He is fond with my city but his mostly spend his time when he's not teaching in the mall because he can't stand with the sun. If you like to visit the sun city that you should visit my province to see about the east Asia culture mix with the Indonesia. 

The most crazy thing that you will see is no matter the weather condition is the local people will always choose to drink ice tea and eat the snack such as Bakwan. This half round is fry cake consists of flour, beans sprouts, chives and dried shrimps.They are mix together and fry until golden brown. I LOVE IT ! The spicy souce is the reason why ice tea more preferably to drink to cope the thirsty from hot weather and bawan.

This is the experience that you will see if you are visitng West Kalimantan!

Teaching Learning with ICT

I find out that in the way of my journey to learning english passive ways. I always wait for the teacher to speak with my hand hold the pen, ready to write everything that lecturer or teacher said and it's been 14 years of my live long education. I admit that i was technology phobia. I barely refuse to use or spend my money to buy gadget that only waste for fun. But when i was enter to this class i was force to learn to use technology to teach english. 

This is hard thing for me because of the lack knowledge of technology. But at the end of it's i found out that is the alternative ways to teach english rather than traditional ways. English as second language acquisition is the ways to students learn language rather than the national or mother tongue. The use of english should be using alternative ways to made the students interest and fond of it.

The English word mostly infused to the daily conversation in indonesia that make them can get easily understand it. But the problem is the ways of them to talk, write and interact in english is only in the introduction. They only learn english it's because of the habits or the media that they always use in technologies. 

For more english could be learn easily by any media, handphone, interactive llearning cartoon or internet. They way english spread all over the world is with the media electronic and the media can be the ways to make the people learn english.
