Pelatihan Pembelajaran Inovatif Bahasa Inggris Berbasis Masalah

Abstract

The integration of  approach, method, technique, media and learning sources is innovation in learning activity. To some teachers, this innovative learning is an approach or a method that is too theoretical, thus it is complicated to grasp concretely. Therefore, the training administered through Academic Staff Community Service (ASCS) is necessary to conduct in order to provide firming and new experience, and to extend insight on this innovative learning. Participant of the training was the members of English Language Teacher Association (ELTA) of Singkawang Municipality. The training aimed to enable the member of the ELTA to design their own innovative learning steps or procedures to apply in lesson plan and teaching-learning activity. Furthermore, the training was executed with three methods, namely interactive lecturing, presentation with media equipment, and short practice. The implementation of this English language problem-based learning with short practice in the training revealed that the problems encountered by students could be handled by the teacher through innovative ways. By the examples had been demonstrated in the training activity, the English language teachers were able to teach by firstly identifying the problems the students encounter, and then solve the problems innovatively.
