2. Justify your choice of material and teaching-learning activity based on pedagogical principles. Activity 1. The True Story of The Three Little Pigs They are many ways to teach English for young learners. One of the ways is by using stories. This method was mainly developed in1976 by a team of teacher at Jordonhill College of Education, Scotland. This method not only can be used to teach English but also the other subjects such as history, science, maths, and geography. It depends on the teacher how would they use the story to create an interesting activity for their students. According to Bell, the founder of the method, being a teacher can be very creative, enjoyable and rewarding if teachers know exactly what is expected of them. By empowering the educators they can be helpful as designers of education

hence their strategies encourages their students to be independent learners (Bell, 2006). I am using a story, which is a folk that is suitable for the age of the year 3 average students. The story is not too long or complicated and also not too short and easy for them. My activity is to teach the students to write a simple informal letter. Writing can be bored for the students. I am trying to make this writing activity as interactive as possible. Hence, I am using a story, which is entitled The True Story of the Three Little Pigs for this activity. Here, I would guide them what are their objective to write an informal letter. I am using a scaffolding method. When they already learn the format, I would give them freedom to write what they want that is related to the story. Therefore, children are in touch with the story all the time. They actively discover how things work and start learning in a self-reliant way by creating different models and other meaningful representations of reality (Bell, 2006). Besides the age and target group, I also look into the content of the story. The story that I chose has meaningful contents like what can they learn through the story. The story teaches the students that we must not be lazy and take things easy, for if we do, we may perish. We need intelligent preparation and foresight combined with hard labour will make us victorious over even our most fierce enemy-the wolf. Furthermore, this story gives a natural context for repetition of language such as he sneezed a great sneeze. Students also can be aware of sounds, rhythms and structures such as chinny chin chin. These content are very important for the students because they will find it interesting and easy to remember as the sentences or words keep repeating or rhyming. When the students write a letter, they can imagine who are they want to be. They can pretend themselves as the other character in another story or just be themselves. This will broaden and improve their imagination. In addition, I can provide opportunity for involvement and participation in the classroom such as thinking and interacting, predicting, and guessing. This story has no ending like what happen to the wolf at the end? They need to think or conclude their own stories. This process alone makes for true maturing and developing their creativity.

Lastly, they will do reflective thinking by reading it loud from what have they written. The students can learn and open their mind by another form of stories that they will share from each other. Activity 2. The True Story of The Three Little Pigs Mastering the basic communication is very important. The students should already know how to communicate with other people before they enter the school. In the school, students will be exposed to the more formal communication. They will learn variety of ways to communicate and how to communicate. I am using a story, which is a folk that is suitable for the age of the year 3 advanced students. The story is not too long or complicated and also not too short and easy for them. My activity is to teach the students to be able to speak well by debating. Speaking can be in various forms. I am trying to make this speaking activity as interactive as possible. Hence, I am using a story, which is entitled The True Story of the Three Little Pigs for this activity. Here, I would guide them what are their objective to debate. I am using a scaffolding method. When they already learn the format, I would give them freedom to speak what they want that is related to the story. When the students debate, they can imagine who are they want to be. They can pretend themselves as the other character in another story or just be themselves. This will broaden and improve their imagination. In addition, I can provide opportunity for involvement and participation in the classroom such as thinking and interacting, predicting, and guessing. This story has no ending like what happen to the wolf at the end? They need to think or conclude their own stories. This process alone makes for true maturing and developing their creativity. Besides that, this activity will reduce their shyness to speak. They have to be trained to be outspoken and be able to speak well in their future. This will prepare them when they in the society. Lastly, they will do reflective thinking from what have they gain in this debate activity.

Activity 3. The Very Hungry Caterpillar I am using a story, which is a folk that is suitable for the age of the year 1 intermediate students. The story is short and easy for them to understand. My activity is to teach the students to recognize some fruits and all the days in a week. Teaching directly about it can be bored for them. I am trying to make this learning activity as fun as possible. Hence, I am using a story, which is entitled The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In the teaching process, there are some principles that teachers need to keep in mind. It is necessary to demonstrate that pedagogical principles are not fulfilled only by using a course book, but also by using the storyline methodology (imonk, 2003). I am using a story rather than a textbook to create a fun and unstressed atmosphere for the students. Students will enjoy the simple short story and at the same time, they will learn the names of the days and fruits. They would not feel like learning is a burden to them as they are going through some fun activity. They will not also think that this is actually a learning process and treat it as a playtime activity. This activity is to ensure the students remember what is the name of the fruits and how does it looks like. Besides that, the students must know the days in a week in a right order. Memory is important here. There are students who have good memory for pictures, but poor memory for numbers and dates. A simple short story and colourful pictures will help students to boost the memory from what there are leaning. The teacher will test the students memory on what they have learnt by given them a set of flash cards. They need to arrange them in order. Lastly, the teacher will read again the story and check the answers with the students. Activity 4. The Very Hungry Caterpillar I am using a story, which is a folk that is suitable for the age of the year 1 weak students. The story is short and easy for them to understand. My activity is to teach the students to recognize numbers from one to five. Teaching directly about it can be bored for them. I am trying to make this learning activity

as fun as possible. Hence, I am using a story, which is entitled The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This activity is to ensure the students remember what are the name of the numbers and the symbols look like. Besides that, the students must know the number one to five in a right order. Having to teach the weak students is not easy. I have to take a baby steps to teach them. A sequence of number of only one to five will be enough for them to learn in a day. Memory is important here. A simple short story and colourful pictures will help students to boost the memory from what there are leaning. The teacher will test the students memory on what they have learnt by given them a set of flash cards. They need to arrange them in order. Lastly, the teacher will read again the story and check the answers with the students. Activity 5. The Gingerbread Man All of us have varying degrees of each intelligence. Remember that instructional practices should involve all intelligences, so that everyone has the opportunity to learn (Gardner, Encyclopedia of Educational Technology). I am using The Gingerbread Man story to teach colours for the year 1 students. Besides learning, I create a activity that emphasize on spatial intelligence. This activity will increase their art skills. This will give the opportunity for the students who can learn easily by using visual aid. They will remember easily through arts. Therefore, Illustrations are an inherent part of all storybooks. They synchronise with the text and help children to understand the story and develop their visual literacy. In addition, they may also help children to understand the unknown vocabulary. Students are able to predict the story just by looking at illustrations. Asking the students to colour their own pictures using instruction will help them to remember better because they are involve the learning process. It is learning through doing and they do not have to sit silently all the time. It was easy for them to follow the instructions, because it is related to themselves such as their favourite food, what gender are they and what kind of pet they have. From here, they will figure out what colour are they going to colour the

pictures. Stories offered the possibility of making an activity where children not only develop their art skills, but also used English at the same time. Part of this activity is based on the Internet page called Kidzone Fun Facts for Kids. Activity 6. The Gingerbread Man I am using a story, which is a folk that is suitable for the age of the year 2 average students. The story is not too long or complicated and also not too short and easy for them. My activity is to teach the students to write and draw at least 20 things that they can find in the story. Besides that, they will learn to describe or explain the things and give examples just like in the dictionary. Writing can be bored for the students. I am trying to make this writing activity as interactive as possible. Hence, I am using a story, which is entitled The Gingerbread Man for this activity. This task will be easy for them as they are familiar with the story because the teacher already told them. There are many things that they can include in their dictionary such as parts of a body, clothes, animals, seasons and colours. In addition, the students will upgrade their skills by art. They will need to draw and colour what they had written. This task will take times. Students do not have to rush to complete their handout. Their work qualities are important. After they had finished their dictionary, teacher will place their work at the reading corner in the classroom. Every student will have their chance to read their friends dictionary and compare and contrast their works.

Activity 7. Sasha and the Pearl

Human beings cannot live without stories quoted by Ann Douglas.

As the quote above shows, stories are a part of our life. Story is being read to the children since they were toddlers. The main characters are everything that they want to see or even be such as princes, princesses, kings and queens, dragons, devils, animals, good characters and bad ones too. Children learn about the outside world through these characters before they start going to school. Hence, it is a good way for the students to do a play as their learning activity. It is a good chance for the students to have the opportunity to be someone that they really wanted. Lets make their dream come true for at least a while. Play can form an effective learning for the students. They will remember better because they would have been through the process of it. This principle is based on sensual perception, experiences and imagination, which are incorporated into the storyline teaching process. Besides that, students can improve their self-assured by acting. They need to fight the stage fright. The students also will improve their level of proficiency in their pronunciations, intonations and rhythms by acting. They will

try to be real although they know that it is just acting. This is called the affective principle where the children are drawn into a story, they start to like the main characters, dislike the negative ones and by dramatizing a story they are able to demonstrate their attitudes towards the characters. (imonk, 2003) Furthermore, the students will learn to be creative in many forms. One of it is they can change a little bit of the script but still maintaining the story. They also can show their creativity by making the props and the backgrounds. There is a numerous benefits children gain through the uses of a play in the teaching process. The students will be attentive of cooperation or teamwork, which, they will need it in their future life. They will learn to communicate and tolerate with each other. Lastly, after the play, the teacher will do reflective thinking to their students about their roles REFERENCE Bell, S. Introduction to the Storyline Method. Articles on The Storyline Method.

1. The teacher pastes a manila paper which contain the song Row, Row, Row Your Boat on the board. 2. The teacher read the words to the students and pointing at the words she reads. 3. The teacher reads and the students follow what is read so that they get the correct pronunciation. 4. The teacher tells the students that this is actually a song.

5. Teacher plays the song from the radio and let the students catch the rhyme of the song.

6. The teacher sings along the song with the music and shows them the action to the students. 7. The teacher asks the students to stand up and sing along with the music. 8. Teacher asks the students to do the action and sing along with them.

9. Teacher asks the students to do the action and the teacher will point to the words where the students sing and do the action. 10. Students do the action while sing the song.

In this activity which I called the action song, the students learns the big ideas, key skills and processes, modes of discourse, ways of thinking and practising, attitudes and relationships, which are the most valued learning processes and outcomes in particular contexts. The students learns that in action songs there are verb that they can do some action on it. Some students if they are creative, they can do the action by themselves. Effective pedagogy needs assessment to be congruent with learning which means assessment is designed and implemented with the goal of achieving maximum validity both in terms of learning outcomes and learning processes. It should help to advance learning as well as determine whether learning has occurred. The activity also promotes the active engagement of the learners. It is to promotes the students independence. This is where the students build the action by themselves which also show that they can think creatively and independently.

Teacher reads and the students follow. The teacher asks the students to read by themselves. Teacher takes out the manila paper from the board.

6. Teacher paste a pile of word on the board and tell the students that they have to arrange the words accordingly to make the poem complete again.

7. The pile of words was divided into lines and the students are also divided into 3 per groups. 8. Within their group, the students have to discuss among themselves the correct arrangement of the words. 9. After discuss, the teacher asks the group to come to the front and arrange the words accordingly and they have to read it out loud to their friends. 10. After all lines is completely arranged, the teacher ask all students to read the completed poem.

This activity will require the students to communicate with their friends in order to obtain the correct answer. This is where the activity foster both individual and social processes and outcomes. They discuss with each other and learn to make things together. Apart from that, it also equips learners for life in its broadest sense. They learn to combine the words in the poems through the sound of the words and they also develop the intellectual, personal and social resources that will enable them to participate as active citizens. Effective pedagogy needs assessment to be congruent with learning. This is where the activities is used to test if the students understand or remember what is being thought. If the students are able to answer the questions correctly, it means that the learning processed is done successfully by the teacher.

1. Teacher play the music with the radio and ask students to listen to the song. 2. 3. The teacher gives each students a paper of fill in the blanks questions. Teacher asks students to listen to the song and fill in the blanks.

4. The question that is given is the nursery rhyme lyrics where it contains blanks where students have to listen to the song carefully to fill it with the correct answer. 5. Teacher play the song again and after that asks the students if they finished it or not. 6. The teacher check the answer with the students and ask them if they got it correctly.

7. Teacher play the song again and asks the students to sing the song with the lyrics. 8. Teacher ask the students to sing the song without the music.

In this activity, the students will be practicing their listening skills. The students is asked to fill in the blanks with the correct answer if they listen to the song carefully. Apart from that, effective pedagogy recognises the importance of prior experience and learning. It takes account of what the learner knows already in order for them, and those who support their learning, to plan their next steps. This includes building on prior learning but also taking account of the personal and cultural experiences of different groups of learners. In this activity, the students should know what they must do in order to get the correct answer. It also promotes the active engagement from the students where they have to fill in the blanks and listen to the song in order to obtain the correct answer.

10. After the students paste the correct answer, the teacher will ask the students to read it to the class. 11. 12. Then, the teacher will call another student to answer the question. If the students answer it correctly, teacher will praise them.

This activity is called fill in the blanks where I ask the students to fill in the blanks with the correct words. One of the pedagogical principles is that it requires learning to be scaffold. First, I guide the students by reading the poems with the correct pronunciation. Then, I read together with the students. Then the students read by themselves. Next, the students have to complete the poem by themselves. Apart from that, effective pedagogical principle also recognizes the importance of prior experience and learning. Maybe before this, they only know the nursery rhyme but after learning poems, maybe they can create their own poems. Apart from that, it also promotes the active engagement of the learners. The students have to answer the question at the front by paste the correct answer and read it out loud to their friends which show, they are active learner.
