Tips ini adalah summary dari pelatihan yang saya ikuti tentang Teaching Science and Maths in English di Person Longman Education South Asia dan bisa dijadikan panduan rekan-rekan guru dalam menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pengantar :All Science Teachers are also teacher of english
- Combine the teaching of Science with the teaching of English
Use English at appropriate level for learning
- Level of English for science teaching must be lower than that used in English language
- Use simple grammer, e.g. tenses when speaking
- Find out the vocabulary students should know, e.g. vocabulary list
- Before speaking, construct sentences in your head that contain known vocabulary and grammar.
Use a progressive approach for language
- Spoken/written response from students; words ---> sentences --> longer sentences --> paragraphs (vary according to students ability.
- Speak slowly at first and speed up asstudents knowledge and fluency increases
- New words (English and Science) Teacher uses chalkboard, students write words in exercise book
- At first, construct sentences requiring one word answers; Student repeat complete sentences . Can use 'cloze' sentences (filling in blanks)
- Repeat!...repeat! to build up fluency and understanding
Pronunciation
- Say new word aloud slowly, Pronounce the syllables deliberately. Have students repeat these words aloud.
- Read some sentences aloud
Questions ae important
- Questioning technique important for both English and Science
- Plan your questions and write these in your lesson plans
- Help student to answer sentences that are grammatically accurate and complete.
- Students can answer questions in different ways.
- Students can read their worksheet responses aloud
- Students can answer questions in various ways
English may be combined with local language
- Risk of English only - students communicate with Science vocabulary and expressions in English only.
- Example : glossary and definitons of scientific terms in both English and local language
- Controversial!
Combine English, Science lessons with principles of teaching and learning from educational psychology
- Student must acquire understanding in science and competence in English, otherwise they tend to memorisewhat is taught
- Questioning technique important for both English and Science
- Use a variety of activities involving English + Science + progressions e.g. letter rearrangement - words, word rearrangement --> sentences, multiple choice, cloze, matching, concept maps and mind maps, diagrams + labels, games (eg. puzzles, search, crossword, scrable), word analysis.

Segala upaya sudah dilakukan. Mengundang Dosen dari 2 Perguruan ternama di Jawa Tengah, belajar pada guru Bahasa Inggris yg jadi Tutor Primagama, tapi semua nggak ada hasilnya. Mungkin saya yg kelewat bodoh ya.
Sebagai Penanggung Jawab Program RSBI di Sekolah, saya merasa gagal karena kemampuan Bahasa Inggris saya yg payah.
Masalahnya satu, saya nggak PD seperti temen2.
Adakah solusi buat saya???
Tipsnya aja dikasih dlm bhs Inggris.
Sayangnya, contohnya saya, guru bahasa Inggris saya jg sebenarnya tdk cocok disebut sbg guru bhs Inggris..
Helda,

gw rasa yg pertama sih lingkungan bisa mendukung apa ga...kalo inggris, lingkungan selalu ngomong inggris, dijamin mau ga mau mesti ngomong and kita dipaksa nyari kata2 yg kita ga tau sampai tau..
selain itu,di dalam kelas , interaksi dengan murid juga dilakukan dengan bhs inggris..biarpun murid ngomong bahasa, tetapi kita jawabnya inggris, and tetap mendengar ceramah2 khususnya dalam bid pendidikan dalam bhs inggris. sekian...nongkiakui@yahoo.com
