IS IT POSSIBLE FOR TEACHER TO USE ENGLISH WITHOUT USE MOTHER TONGUE IN TEACHING PROCESS?

Indonesia is a developing country that is preparing its generation to have the standard of capabilities which possessed by other countries in the world. ‘Is it possible for teachers in Indonesia to use full English in teaching without use the mother tongue at all? ‘.

Direct Method is the learning of language in a relevant setting. This method has one basic rule and that is that no translation is allowed. The meaning of the name "Direct Method" comes from the fact that meaning is to be conveyed directly into the second language through demonstration and visual aids.
The main principles of the Direct Method are as follows:
• Students are encouraged to think in the target language.
• Indonesian language is not used in the classroom.
• The learner is actively involved in using the language in realistic everyday situations.
• Speaking is taught first before reading or writing.
• Only everyday vocabulary and sentences are taught.
• Concrete vocabulary is taught through demonstration, objects, and pictures.
Could it be? I do not think so. We have to realize that there are so many students who haven’t been able yet to capture of what the teacher means when he use this method. There are still many children using the local language as their everyday language. Sometimes they are even harder to understand the Indonesian language. Teachers should still use the Indonesian language or regional languages as a tool for teaching English.

english speaker and english teacher

English speakers are more emphasis on the courage to speak, one aspect of the ability of the most rarely practiced, especially in this area where few foreign people. But for those who shy or not confident, speaking English is not easy challenge. In the first meeting, it can all be friends and dare to speak in English! Even many who eloquently as if it was used to converse in English. Although there are no competent teachers, I salute the courage of my friends to learn. probably many who think the important dare to speak, whether wrong or right. Problem of grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary can be learned tomorrow .courage talk to me important to be trained. we will be trained to dare express opinions and thoughts, want to hear the opinions of others, and always try to pay attention to pronunciation and choice of our English vocabulary. Gratitude, gratitude if there is a fix grammar and adding vocabulary. In general, we like the overall language skills.
English teacher emphasizes educating and motivating learning to maintain and provide training (teaching, guidance, leadership) about the character and intelligence of the mind. the process of changing attitudes and good behavior or group of people in an attempt to mature the man through the efforts of teaching and training, processes, ways, works to educate. According to the definition above, the main task of a teacher is teaching, is to make other people understand something that had not previously understood.
For example: what a great service to our teachers during grade 1 who so diligently taught us that originally illiterate until finally able to read and write?
Really big responsibility assumed by a teacher. In addition to teaching, he should also become an educator, which means instilling the values of character and good morality. So, being a teacher is not only responsible for academic issues, but also responsible for psychological development and personality. It's beautiful when all (or most) teachers in Indonesia have both. Plus it could provide motivation to their students, so that more confident in the face of global competition is getting tighter.

In my opinion, the main cause why the ability to speak English is difficult to increase only 4.

Causes Increase Hard English Ability:
Cause the first is the habit of the Indonesian language ugly. If we say or write, in general we like to spin (not to the point), plus an unstructured, so often we do not know where the main subject, main verb, and so on.
The second reason is when using the English language, either via speaking and writing, we usually partition the brain into 2, namely the partition A partition for the Indonesian language and B for the English language. First of all sentences are made first in the partition A, then exported to partition B to translated before finally expressed through speaking or writing. The effect is a pattern or grammar that has been hard-earned studied since junior high school to be forgotten because of the partition B is too busy translate verbatim made in partition of A. And, because the Indonesian language sentence unstructured, partition B to be added headache of doing the translation. As a result, the partition B often hangs (freezes), and no output is generated. If any partition B managed to output, output is generally far below the standard, the bad English. In addition, the other person is asleep usually eaten by mosquitoes because eventually wait.
The third cause of inconsistent motivation. For students, the motivation to learn English in general because they want to get good grades. That is, the time to learn English just want to test, and after the exam finished his book was to settle somewhere.
The third is learning English method is less precise. If you just rely on the power memorized, your Home will from not get better.
