MEMBERDAYAKAN “STUDENT CENTERED” UNTUK MENGENAL “KATA BENDA” DALAM BAHASA INGGRIS
Abstract: Language is a means
of communications; it can be in spoken language, in a written text, in speech
or in teaching-learning process. The language used in communication must be
clear, well organized, and understandable. W.F. Bolton said: the
ability to use
language is the
most distinctive characteristic of
human beings and yet
most people taken
their language ability
for granted, never considering its richness and
complexity. It is also said by Ludwig Wittgenstein the limit of language means
the limit of my world. In English there is parts of speech consisting of noun,
verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction, preposition, pronoun, and interjection.
Taking one of them, the noun, has many representations with the same name
‘noun.’ It is not so simple to understand
it. It needs some abilities to know it well. Almost
students get little
bit confused if
they meet with
noun in some representations. To know it better needs
some ways, namely, reading a lot, rich of vocabulary, good
knowledge in English
especially noun with
its various representations. It
has the same meaning but has many different representations. Student-centered is
a good way to increase
the student’s ability
to know ‘noun’ better.
