MGMP Meeting at SMPN 1 Pasuruan

        The second routine meeting of English Teachers Forum in Pasuruan City was held on September 17th, 2013 at SMPN 1 Pasuruan. The meeting was attended by 43 English teachers from several junior high schools in Pasuruan. The meeting was scheduled to begin at 08.00, but because some teachers had a schedule for teaching at the first and the second period, the meeting was started at 08.45.
The agenda of the meeting was:
1. Opening
2. The speech of the Headmaster of SMPN 1Pasuruan
3. The Speech from the English teachers' supervisor
4. Mini seminars on Classroom action Research
5. Closing

         After the opening, the headmaster of SMPN 1 Pasuruan and the advisor of MGMP,   Agus Harianto, S.Pd, MM, delivered a short speech about quantum teaching. We have to create the joyful environment in the class, so that the student will enjoy their time in the class. He also suggested that teachers improve their ability in writing. MGMP should publish monthly bulletin in which teachers  can express their idea. One of the great teachers' quality is their ability to write. MGMP can be the media for the teachers to learn about public speaking. The teachers can practice giving mini seminar.
         The second speech was delivered by the supervisor of MGMP,  Fauzan Suryantara, MM. He talked about "PKG/PKB" for teachers. He insisted that teacher improve their teaching quality that they can fulfill the requirement for "PKG/PKB". He suggested that teachers read the regulation about it. Next, Mr. Fauzan focuses on the implementation of 2013 curriculum in our city. Some teachers complain that it is difficult to make the students accustomed to follow the scientific approach, but it will give a good effect for the students. It is difficult to change the teachers' way of teaching. The teachers is accustomed to giving information for the students instead of letting them discover it. We have to change the paradigm. The teachers must make good preparation for their teaching. the lesson must be complete. For instance, if there are five indicators, at least there must be five teaching objectives. Teachers must prepare the media, at least pictures, to attract the students attention. In short, Mr. Fauzan encouraged the teachers to be great teachers.
         The next agenda was the mini seminar on Classroom Action Research. There were three speakers explaining in details about the process of their research writing. The first speaker was the former MGMP chairman, Hendro Jayalaksana, S.Pd. He wrote a research on the effectiveness of pictures and jumbled words combination to improve students writing achievement  on descriptive text at  SMPN 2 Pasuruan . He presented his research on this title respectively that it could really give clear steps for the teachers to start their own. He explained in details how to develop each chapter of the research. (The abstract of the research will be posted soon)
         The next speaker was Mohammad Yusup, S.Pd from SMPN 5 Pasuruan. He developed a research on the effectiveness of English song to improve students' listening comprehension achievement at SMPN 5 Pasuruan . His research was an experimental research because he used a control and an experiment group in his research. The finding of the research suggested that the experiment group was better than the other group. (the abstract will be posted soon)
