The statement about learning in general, that it “never takes place in vacuum is even more true in the language class. When it comes to creating a classroom climate for language learning. Williams and Burden point to three levels of influence: national and cultural influences on the language being learning, the education system where the language is being learned, and the immediate classroom environment. Influences on the language being learned are already determined, as is the education system.
However, teachers do influence the classroom environment by motivating unmotivated students. There are many ways in which students can be off task. They fail to take part by sitting in silence, they distract other students by talking off the topic, and they provide “non language” entertainment. All of these call for the teacher management skills. Even taking into account differences from class to class, teachers of a range of learners and subjects that they can make a difference, as the examples that follow show. In language learning, motivation is more specific than in content-based subject. The history teacher can motivate students to take an interest in the subject, but the language teacher is looking for more than interest. Language is a skill, and a skill needs to be apply, not just stored in the head or admired at this time.
Teachers encourage language use trough both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Some students have strong intrinsic motivation; they know the benefits of learning a particular language. Others need to be reminded of where success could lead. For example, in societies where studying literature is an important part of the education system, teachers emphasize the benefits of being able to read English poetry, short stories, and novels and the original.
Extrinsic motivation can come through rewards teachers supply interesting additional reading materials, they show a video to follow difficult language task, or they invite guest speakers so that students use the new language in an authentic way. Occasionally, though rewards can take over and destroy enjoyment ( Van lier : 1996) In monolingual class teachers reports particular difficulty in persuading students to Speak English. The following ideas have worked in small and large classes:
Role play, with one student taking the role of a foreigner
Native-speaking visitors answer question on specific topics
Pen friends, by mail or E-mail
Group presentations of topics students have researched
Interclass debates
Speech competitions
plays and singing
Although the ultimate goal is to speak English, in classes where students speak different first language, it can help motivation to allow limited use of the first language in class for specific purposes. For example, the first language helps in clarifying a difficult point or planning the organizational part of projects, particularly when the teacher does not speak the languages of all the students.
An aspect of motivation is dealing with the behavior of particular students. Experienced teachers usually have a scale of responses to off-task behavior, which helps them decide whether to ignore or attend to the problem.
Teacher also knows that if large numbers of students are failings to attend to the lesson. There could be a problem with the lesson itself. The task may be too difficult, or it may have continued for too long, or the content may be boring. On the other hand, the problem may not be within the class at all. Or even unusual weather can change the mood of a class and signal to the teacher the need for a change of a activity

Bagi anda yang sudah lama menikah mudah-mudahan anda tidak seperti hal di bawah ini :
1. Di Kantor saat pengantin baru
bos anda menanyakan apakah anda bisa kerja lembur hari ini, anda menjawab dengan pasti "saya ingin segera pulang pak dan menghabiskan malam dengan istri tercinta saya"
Sekarang
Sekarang anda berinisiatif sendiri dan bertanya sama bos " apakah ada pekerjaan lain yang bisa saya selesaikan dengan lembur"
2. Di Restaurant Saat pengantin baru
Anda dengan gembira duduk disampingnya dan ketika ia memilih menu yang termahal anda mengatakan . "pesan saja apapun yang kau inginkan sayang"
Sekarang
Ketika ia baru membuka daftar menu anda langsung mengingatkan "ingat harganya"
3. Menelpon saat penngantin baru
Setelah selesai mengatakan " ok, sayang, tutup teleponnya" maka anda berkata 'tidak kau yang tutup teleponnya terlebih dahhulu" dan itu akan berlangsung beberapa menit sampai anda menutupnya secara bersamaan.
Sekarang
anda menutup telepon saat ia ditengah percakapan, lalu menjelaskannya setelah dirumah bahwa anda pikir ia telah selesai dengan pembicaraannya.
4. Saat Ulang Tahun Saat pengantin baru Anda memberinya, perhiasan, coklat, pakaian yang indah dan hadiah lainnya.
Sekarang Anda memberinya, alat cuci piring, panci atau bahkan lupa dengan hari Ulang Tahunnya
5. Saat makan di Rumah Saat pengantin baru Waktu masakannya sedikit gosong atau sedikit mentah anda berkata "inlah masakan yang paling lezat yang pernah saya makan".
Sekarang jika masakannya sedikit gosong anda berkata "apakah kamu punya sesuatu yang lain yang bisa di makan".
Tulisan di atas hanyalah intermesso dan saya yakin semua sahabatku adalah laki-laki yang setia dan tidak pernah berubah dengan istri tercintanya, seperti pada gambar di atas rela duduk di samping istrinya menemani sampai akhir waktu
I wanted a quick, simple, and delicious side dish to pair with my Mediterranean Chicken Thighs so I decided to make a Greek inspired orzo dish. I added spinach, tomatoes, kalamata olives, and red onion to the orzo then dressed it lightly with olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, freshly cracked lemon pepper, and feta cheese. The dish was light, healthy, and so tasty. We all enjoyed this dish very
Hey everyone! Do you realize that I have no post for this month! So sad. I was having my Final Test and I was so busy studying. Haha. Okay I wasn't that busy but my parents wouldn't allow me to update blog during that hard week. So here I am, back to blogging! I hope you miss me. Haha.
This was the outfit I wore a month ago, I guess. My camera was acting weird at that time and I wasn't wearing any make-up, so the results are not so good. Just look at the outfit. In the end it's all about outfits, right? Introducing my favorite polar bear, BooBoo.
Top : Krisna from Bali . Skirt : Zara . Belt : unknown . Cardigan : The Secret . Tights : unbranded . Wedges : Tracce

I was in the mood for Mediterranean flavors so I picked up some chicken thighs and marinated them in some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and red wine vinegar for a few hours. The meat was tender, juicy, and very flavorful - this dish was a huge hit with my entire family. I served this chicken with Greek Orzo for a delicious and healthy meal.Mediterranean Chicken Thighs:Recipe and
Lucu juga bulan lalu aku memberi tag kepada 7 taman langit, tag tentang tujuh buku yang sedang aku baca, lalu 7 taman langit membagi tag itu kepada Nuansa Pena, lalu Mas Ahmad merubahnya menjadi tag 3 buku yang sedang aku baca dan membagi kepada aku kembali, eh akhirnya kembali lagi deh sama saya, bukan saya tidak mau kerja mas Ahmad tapi jujur sebulan ini aku terlalu sibuk sehingga tidak sempat membaca sebuah buku pun, nah minggu ini ketika ada waktu luang baru deh sempat membaca buku lagi, nah inilah 3 buku yang sedang aku baca:
1. Tawassul Mengintip Alam Barzah
Buku ini membuat saya rindu dengan teriakan kang boed
Salam Cinta Damai dan Kasih Sayang ‘tuk Sahabat Sahabatku terchayaaaaaank

buku ini adalah tali asih dari kangboed karena menjadi top komentator ke 3 di blognya Kangboed (dot) com di bulan Februari, sayang sekali blog itu di suspend dan akhirnya mati suri, dan kangboed sekarang lagi menekuni sisi spritualnya, dan ia memang tidak pernah terlihat lagi di jagat blogosphere. Buku ini karangan Muhammad Luthfi Ghozali Seorang Sarjana Kuburan (Sarkub), buku ini menceritakan bahwa kematian bukan akhir dari segalanya. Bukan batas perpisahan kepada yang dicintai, bukan akhir dari kehidupan. Bahkan bagi orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal saleh, kematian di dunia adalah awal sebuah perjalanan panjang menuju kebahagiaan yang abadi untuk selama-lamanya. buku ini seakan mengintip keadaan disana di alam barzah, supaya ketika giliran itu sampai kepada kita,tidak menjadi kaget . Tentu saja buku ini disertai dalil-dalil yang kuat.Dengan bahasa yang sederhana buku ini sangat layak untuk dibaca oleh seorang muslim.
2. Photoshop Tutorials
Creative Effects Karya Denie Kristiadi
Buku ini adalah buku saku yang diberikan secara free jika kita membeli majalah PC MIld, ya buku ini isinya tentang cara membuat efek tertentu dengan menggunakan photoshop, saya memang sangat ingin belajar photoshop siapa tahu bisa sepintar bang atta kemarin yang membuat gempa besar di Pekanbaru.
3. Mahir bikin blog, portal dan forum
pakai : wordpress, joomla dan PHpBB
Buku ini terbitan PT Gramedia setebal 95 halaman karangan Ni Ketut Susrini, Dunia maya memang sedang marak-maraknya, nah bagi anda yang ingin sukses dan eksis di dunia maya tapi terbentur masalah teknis, buku ini adalah jawabannya, ingin mahir buat blog dengan platform Wordpress. Membuat forum dengan PhpBB dan membuat Portal dengan Joomla tidak ada salahnya anda memiliki buku ini, semua penjelasan disamapaikan secara detail dan dengan bahasa yang lugas dan mudah dimengerti sehingga mudah di pahami.
UPss akhirnya selesai tag ini dan itulah tiga buku yang sedang aku baca. Tag ini biarlah sampai di sini saja. dan nggak diteruskan lagi saya hanya ingin memasang award yang diberi nama AWARD JIWA SUKSES yang diberikan oleh Batavusqu dan juga oleh kang enes.
