First Day of Teaching: Reflection for Form 206

(10.30-11.40) July 22th, 2013

I started the lesson at 10.35 in audiovisual room. At the beginning I asked them to introduce their nick names only. As a matter of fact, this was how I engaged with them at the very first time. Apparently it took some moment which I had not calculated this activity at the beginning in my lesson plan.

Students were pretty cooperative. They followed the lesson enthusiastically. Most of them were willing to speak in English when they had their activities as well as answering my questions.

In the middle of the lesson I added more information to them upon the noun phrase explanation however I did not go deeper. I will then explore more in the next meeting.

In their last activity, I asked them to be the interviewer and interviewee. In pairs they acted as a famous artist then their friend was the journalist. It was pretty exciting activity since as teacher I could really hear that they use fully English and even some of them were really living in the character and develop the questions.

Strength:
I found the students pretty exciting in learning the topic as well as using active English. As a teacher, I actively trigger them with some questions to make them think. I also indirectly asked them to help each other by answering the difficult words and questions they had not completed yet. In the end I can conclude that today’s lesson was fun and active.

Weakness:
The weaknesses basically came from me. First, I had not calculated the time allotment for students’ introduction. I was too long at the beginning or elicitation. In the middle, I wished I had explained deeper for the noun phrase. In the end I was afraid that the time would run out quickly which in fact I still had 10 minutes left.

Plan for the next lesson:
-          Be better to use more effective time management
-          Explain better and give students more time to think and digest the explanation.
-          Remember students’ names.

Plan Well Do Well

In such a busy day, some teachers might not really like making their lesson plan. Instead they will take the previous lesson plan that already available in their surroundings. For example, they use the previous teacher’s lesson plan or just try to browse in the internet.

Is that appropriate or not?

Basically, teacher must have really planned their teaching even for the simplest thing. The fact is, some of them said that we have that in our mind. We are professional right? And yes for some reason, they may be professional, however, being a professional means that you should plan anything and makes sure that all of your action has been thought very carefully.

As a new teacher, we have to consider that having a lesson plan makes you be more organized. The chance of you being lost in the middle of your lesson will be less. As long as you follow your lesson plan, it indicates that you have followed the instruction you make. It is much wiser if you would like to add any creativity during your lesson. I’m not saying that you should be become a robot, but I even gives you more chance to be creative instead of be confused with the class, students, material and the supervisor’s comment.

In other words, you might feel less frustrated. Students will feel the same.
In short, lesson plan benefits you and your student. It needs time and energy but don’t you think it is worth it at present and future.

A Week in Malaysia

I arrived at LCCT airport when my watch hit the short hand on 1 and its long hand on 6. yeah, I arrived in Malaysia at 1.30 PM. It was not a long flight, only 2 hours however, we gotta arrived at A.Yani airport in Semarang at 7 AM. Instead, I, Sofi and Raeni had been there at 6 AM while others came after 6.30 AM. There are fifteen of us and three lectures. All of us then waited for some minutes then got into UPSI's (Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris) bus to get us to Seri Harmoni apartment. 
The next thing happened was that we were dropping our bags and luggage and ready to shower. We then relaxed fro a while on our beds. There was one incident where Tami could not open the bedroom. Finally, we gotta found Pak Bambang and finally told him that we have one spoiler. wait, what? spoiler? No,just kidding, I know I am too exaggerating. She is a Malay girl that come to meet her lecturer at UPSI. In the End Fatimah must have moved to the next room with the girls. It was not a big deal.LOL, even though she probably still felt annoyed since she gotta move. However, everything seemed okay. 
The next day we had to attend the meeting and briefing from UPSI. Oh, the library is so cool anyway. We had a full day set to learn the culture of Malays. It was an interesting event. we had photo-shot with all of the UPSI commitee in PPL AB. Before that, we had a "serious" discussion meeting our mentor and supervisor that day. 
The next day, Wednesday, we went to our full two months. Most of us were sent to nearest area but not me, Sofi and Rista. Our school to have the teaching practice is in Felda, Trolak. It is about 2 hours by car to Kuala Lumpur. it takes time but then, well, it is fine. At least yesterday I was able to visit my Mom in KL and have lots of joy wandering KLCC (the twin tower). Today, I am back for observing before I have my real teaching practice. I will follow Mr. Neil from Scotland if I am not mistaken. Ahh, happy Monday everyone

Papua: Military Approach that Failed?






FINAL TEST

Papua: Military Approach that Failed?

Papua is fragile nowadays. The security that is demanded by all of Papuans till now cannot be upheld by the Indonesian government. People are being the victims. Not to mention, many died in the demonstrations and riots. The victims are not merely from the civil society but also coming from the foreign people and the military troops. The gun shootings are heard everywhere. Some people claim that this harassment is caused by the separation organization, Free Papua Movement (Indonesian: Organisasi Papua Merdeka, abbreviated OPM). However, the statement already denied by Indonesian Institute of Science (Indonesian: Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, abbreviated LIPI). They suspected that the party involved in this harassment was the military itself.
Papua is located far from the touch of Indonesian government. Many people speculate that the government of Indonesia is getting weak to recover Papua. Many countries have begun to support Papuans to have their own sovereignty. It is because the Indonesian government has failed to preserve the security or even to win the trust of these 2.851.999 Papuans.
The Deployment of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia, abbreviated TNI) since 3 years ago is considered failed to occupy the security among Papua. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) firstly claimed that this deployment was needed since Indonesian government would like to erase the separation organization, OPM from Papua land. President SBY also said that the deployment was for creating stability. By this order, the troops work with Polisi Daerah or regional police to maintain the security.
However, what is coming as a problem is the effectiveness of the TNI itself. Can they approach the headquarters of the OPM?
Until now, the TNI cannot directly attack the post of the OPM since they get burden of the geographical aspect. This reason is not reliable. The point is, the government has stated that the TNI has to overcome this problem by gradually arresting the doer. In the reality, the TNI just moves inside the city. The commitment to condemn terrorist is not significantly done by them. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is no longer pushing them. People need to see that the commitment is granted by the real action. The notion appearing right now is no one should become the scapegoat and no one shoots people first without any court at the very first place.
In addition, public now is having lack of trust toward the policy coming from the government. They see that with many TNI staying in Papua, it will no longer create stability as what is intended. The recent incident literally showed to the government that the TNI had been unaccepted there. The people are getting easier to be provoked to avenge such as the case happened to Pratu Ahmad Ruslan, an officer of the TNI. He was attacked by the people since he unintentionally hit a child named Devi Wanimbo. There is sentiment from the Papuans and it makes them not really close to the TNI.
Moreover, the controversy of the TNI’s existence in Papua has begun since the middle of 1998 when the top of harassment happened in the Soeharto regime. These troops were showing their arrogance and arbitrary harassment to the people. Thus, it influenced the acceptance of Papuans as well as the trust upon this party.
There are three aspects that have to be considered regarding to the presence of military approach in Papua. Whether or not the government policy in appointing this party has been appropriate enough to preserve and emerge the security upon Papua.
Firstly, the presence of military troops approach to solve the problem is considered exacerbating the recent harassment done by the military itself. The government sees the OPM movement as a big threat. Rather than evoking the sympathy and trust toward the Indonesian government, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in his order sent the TNI to Papua. Based on the law number 34/2004, he believes that by preserving the security of Papuans can promote their trust. He wants to show that the OPM should be erased from Papua. Well, it is right to stop the separation organization but reflecting to the status quo right now, people get more scared of the military existence and not by the OPM action.
Right forward from now, the government policy determines the destiny of the people in that country. The deployment of the military troops can be done if there is a military operation need in one area. It should not be deployed just because there is a demand from the intelligence or the military commander. The duty of the TNI is clear. They drive the military operation such as war, separatism organizations, terrorist and so on. If yes, those requirements are happened, thus the president must deploy the Indonesian National Armed Force. However, does it the policy that is demanded by Papuans and regarded with the Law of Indonesia?
The additional existence of the Indonesian National Armed Force is actually rejected by Papuans. Seemingly, people do not want to have the TNI in the land of Papua. The policy actually has the controversy which does not regard to the law number 34/2004. Moreover, the deployment is not in line with the previous policy holding by the government to use the cultural, economic, and social approaches toward Papuans.
Even the government was, for example trying to erase Aceh Freedom Movement (Indonesian: Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, abbreviated GAM), in the end, they used diplomacy. The same situation happened in Papua. Many more murders happened after the presence of military. It assumed that the OPM sees the oppression from the government and they do not want to compromise. The OPM did not see any diplomacy way so simply they used gun if being attacked.
Separation is always demanded by the OPM. They think that Indonesian government is not capable in caring Papuans. Indonesian government is deemed to just exploit the wealth of Papua. For example, Freeport got the contract extension to dig the gold. Again, the existence of the TNI is justified there to secure the Freeport. The TNI is obligated to overcome the danger if OPM’s attacks within the area of Freeport.
While the unfairness regarding to Papuans as the owner of Papua land, the government just simply neglects their voices. It seems impossible even for Papuans to be involved in the project of digging gold. It is because the result of this project is only flowing directly to the central government in Jakarta and more to the US country.
The controversy even more heated when the government would like to deploy Densus 88. It was rejected by some organizations. The idea of deploying Densus 88 creates the notion of using more guns. People see that the repressive method is no longer appropriate.
Let’s see the reality; the problem recently is not because of terrorism but because of a bad economy. Thus, just fix it. The model that is needed in Papua and the OPM is persuasiveness, dialogue and social approaches. If the Indonesian Police would like to solve the problem on how to overcome the OPM, using the intelligence will be more effective for the early detection and to anticipate the situation.
Secondly, the government seems that they neglect the humanitarian abuses happened for a long time in Papua. Military tribunals are held rarely and lack of transparency. Furthermore, the charges for especially the TNI are frequently far from the seriousness of the abuses.
In January, for example, three soldiers from Battalion 753 were sentenced between eight to twelve months imprisonment. Despite video evidence of six soldiers torturing two Papuans, the tribunal only charged three of them. The case remains a big hole for the victims.
As reported by World Report 2012 of Human Right, in August, Jayapura tribunal only convicted three soldiers from the same battalion to disobeying order and they were sentenced to six, seven and fifteen month prison. The case was these three man shot and killed Kinderman Gire on the suspicion he was a separatist.
This is even worse; the recent case was the police shooting Mako Tabuni as he was suspected to be the master of shooting and harassment in Papua. He was an activist in the West Papua National Committee (Indonesian: Komite Nasional Papua Barat, abbreviated KNKB). The police claimed that Mako tabuni was trying to escape thus they must shoot him. This was not the intended proposal; nonetheless the universal law stated clearly that even the most dangerous terrorist cannot be shot just because he does rebel. This shooting provoked riot afterward. The supporters of Mako Tabuni got down to the street and made chaos.
The thing is, let the tribunal judge him whether or not he deserves the sentence. If it is true that the police have done some trials; still, it needs to be clear and reasonable in order not to create greater victims.
Thirdly, Papua needs more reliable policy to preserve the stabilization such as transparent court and open justice. It is obviously the government’s duty. If Presidents Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono wants to open the previous human right abuses tribunals, more people will get better trust to the government. It shows how much government would like to clear the unfairness and give better understanding between central government and Papuans. The government can probably erase the preconceived notion that the trial between military and the civil society is a way difference. Accordingly to the same position of people in the law, they must be treated equally.
There is no compromise for those who are deserved to get sentences of prison. Not to mention that the soldiers should be discharged if they abuse the human right. The other duty of government is to recover the rights of the victims in Papua whose right has been abused.
What actually happened in Papua are the reflection of the uncertainty upon the policy of power on power. The government as well is failed to present the justice, equality, assurance of political right, economic, social and cultural right that have not been enjoyed by Papuans. The government is better to consider what Papuans’ demand. The government needs to win their trust.
In short, the implementation of Law number 34/2004 needs more consideration. It is not as simple as calling someone to come for help. The deployment of the TNI or Indonesian National Armed Forces only can be done if there is political decision from the government and not merely by the president.
The duty of government is embracing the needs of the society. It is important for the Indonesian government especially the President to reconsider the existence of military troops in Papua. If the appointment of investigation and keeping peace can elevate the security then it also has to be transparent for the civil society of Papua in order to avoid misunderstanding and emerging the trust of them.

A Worth It Love


The story began in a white house where a beautiful girl woke up starting her day. Her name was Lily who was known as really bright and smart girl in her village. Starting her day by doing chores was definitely her routine before she went to school. Her school was quite far from her house. It was located in a nearby town. And To reach the school, people need to pass little rain forest. It caused not that many villagers went to school. 

Lily was not only known among villagers for her brightness but also her really strict family. Although they lived in the village, they have more moderate thought in seeing education than villager for general. It was quite good but it also led Lily into trouble.

In the deep of her heart, Lily was in love with a young farmer named Jade Huston. Nevertheless he was very nice looking with strong muscles. Unlike Lily, Jade did not go to school since he came from a poor family. Jade was a hard worker. Although he worked in others’ properties people reckoned his good working. Mostly the girls in the village adored him including Lily. Not to mention that Lily was always looking at him whenever she passed his farm. Unfortunately Jade did not know that Lily was in love with him. 

One day, Lily was ordered to continue her education in the Town. She definitely loved the idea but she still worried about her feeling to Jade. Even she was afraid to tell her parent that she was in love to Jade. She knew at the time she told the truth, her family would neglect her feeling. “What happens my dear? You look unhappy with your future education” said her father. “No Papa, I just think it maybe will be that hard to separate from you all” said Lily lied. “Oh my lovely Dear, we will visit you very often. So no worry, alright!” said her father enthusiastically. “Thank you Papa, I think I feel better” said Lily. 

Lily was accepted in the Julian College, one of the most prestigious colleges in British. By the day she was about to go to the Town, her family held a little farewell party. Some of her friends were invited. Surprisingly Jade came, too. 

“I am very happy to say to you that my lovely daughter, Lily is going to take medical course as her major” her father starting his words. Lily was blushing and smiling as well as bunch of applause was welcoming the speech. I wish you a very luck there sweet heart” ended his father. At the moment she was about to enter the cart, Lily was staring at Jade, her first love. Jade was looking her as well. They were staring for minutes without any word left.

In the way to the town, Lily was hardly thinking about the meaning of his sight. Lily was just able to guess that maybe Jade was really sad to let her go. “Maybe Jade was love me…said Lily under her breath. 

Throughout the year, Lily was really busy with her college stuff until she did not have to send a letter to jade. However in the deepest of her heart, it was only for jade. Lily spent four and a half for her medical school. She was inaugurated as a doctor and could work soon.
“Papa, I have graduated” said Lily happily. “You are really my lovely and my proud, dear” said her father. 

“Papa, may I go to see the farm? It was so long since the last four year I saw it” said Lily. “Sure, my dear”. But come back before dark, will you?” asked her father. “You have my word Papa” said Lily without any doubt. 

Lily was really happy. She was so glad standing and feeling the breeze in the farm. From far she saw a woman and a little girl walking ahead to her. “Hi, what a lovely afternoon” said the woman softly. “Oh, yeah, it was so nice, anyway my name is Lily. And you? Asked Lily. “I am Elizabeth, Elizabeth Huston. Lily’s pleasant was only last for a minute by the time she heard it. It meant that jade was got marry. The woman in front of her was his wife and the little girl was their daughter.

“Lily! shouted a man behind Lily. Lily was turned around and saw Jade. “Papa! shouted the little girl. Finally, Lily knew that actually Jade was in love with her. They were just too afraid to say their feeling each other. It was what made them separate. It made Lily realized that actually Jade, her love was worth it to be achieved for.
