TOLAK ISIS
Saat ini di Indonesia sedang digegerkan dengan munculnya paham radikal agamis ISIS yang berpaham bahwa negara harus berdasarkan agamis bukan ketuhanan seperti negara kita. Dengan beragamnya suku bangsa dan pemikiran di Indonesia memungkinkan ISIS mempengaruhi dengan mudah. Untuk itu, saat ini di setiap sekolah mencoba untuk memberikan pemahaman bahwa negara Indonesia adalah negara beraneka ragam dan berketuhanan. dan para guru juga mulai menanamkan semangat patriotisme terhadap anak didiknya. Hal ini di dukung pula degan kurikulum baru untuk pendidikan di Indonesia.
semua berharap selan anak bangsa ini dapat maju, pandai namun juga cinta terhadap tanah airnya.

GOOD NEWS
Rightnow, we are really need to have more knowledge. according that, now there is a good news for the industry in Indonesia. because there will be a smartphone app that will help hospitality industry to be better for growing the numbers of Chinese tourism.
THIS THE FOLLOWING NEWS ABOUT IT.
Jakarta. Beijing-based language and technology company Qooco is designing smartphone apps that may help the hospitality industry in Indonesia to better cater for the growing numbers of Chinese tourists.
Through explaining the correct way to pour wine through an avatar, to showing cleaning staff how to greet guests, Qooco attempts to simultaneously improve users’ hospitality skills and their proficiency in Chinese language.
“Nearly 90 percent of Chinese travelers cannot strike up basic conversations in English,” Qooco c hief e xecutive David Topolewski said.
Learning Chinese, through one-week training classes for example, has not been successful, especially among those from the millennial generation, David said. “If you look at the lengthy manuals — the training managers or HR directors are dreaming if they seriously think anybody’s going to read them.”
Consistent and continued training, in engaging, bite-sized chunks, will result in effective language learning, David added.
Through its mobile application, Qooco has “gamified” Chinese language learning for hospitality staff.
“Most people have smartphones now,” and they are in a position to get outstanding Chinese language training that costs far less than the usual classroom experience, the chief executive said.
Presented in an interactive form, users of Qooco have to vocalize Chinese words to an avatar in order complete a task in the application. The application in turn records the spoken words to measure the accuracy of the user’s Chinese pronunciation.
The app then assesses the user’s Chinese learning progress.
Spending 10 minutes a day for a week on the application yields better learning than spending an hour once a week in a Mandarin class, David said.
You can use Qooco on your way home, or during your break time, he added.
Previously, Qooco’s emphasis had been on improving English-language skills among staff in China’s hospitality industry.
Now, Qooco is keen to ease the flow of Chinese tourists into Southeast Asia by helping hoteliers in the region to develop their staff’s spoken Chinese skills.
David said Qooco counts global hotel chains such as Starwood, Marriott and Le Meridien among its previous clients.
The World Tourism Organization said Chinese tourists are the world’s biggest spenders on international tourism in 2012 at $102 billion.
In Indonesia, 324,344 Chinese tourists visited the country in the first four months of 2014, a significant 30.42 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
This growth is likely to continue as more direct flights between Indonesia and China open up.
“The outlook for the industry in the next five years is very positive,” David said.
Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s biggest economy, recorded an average annual increase of 4.39 percent in foreign tourist arrivals in the country between 2000 and 2011.

BERITA TERKINI " KEINDAHAN PENDIDIKAN ADALAH HADIRNYA ANAK DIDIK YANG SEMANGAT"
Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono mengatakan selama 10 tahun
terakhir terus mengupayakan peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia,
dari lulusan sekolah dasar menjadi minimal lulusan sekolah menengah.
Semua itu agar memiliki keterampilan yang lebih tinggi saat bekerja.
"Satu tantangan utama lapangan kerja kita adalah sekitar 49 persen pekerja kita masih berpendidikan SD. Ini membuat mobilitas ekonomi mereka menjadi sangat terbatas, dan berdampak panjang pada produktivitas nasional. Karena itu, saya gembira dapat mengakhiri masa jabatan saya dengan berjalannya program Pendidikan Menengah Universal sejak tahun 2012," kata Presiden dalam pidato kenegaraan di Gedung DPR/MPR/DPD RI Jakarta, Jumat (15/8/2014).
Presiden mengatakan salah satu upaya yang dilakukan adalah dengan terus meningkatkan akses pendidikan bagi masyarakat.
"Insya Allah, generasi anak-anak kita akan hidup dalam sistem pendidikan di mana paling sedikit mereka akan mengenyam bukan 6 tahun, bukan 9 tahun namun 12 tahun pendidikan, bahkan kita dorong terus agar mereka bisa menikmati sampai Perguruan Tinggi. Esensinya, kita telah mengubah dan menaikkan program wajib belajar 9 tahun, menjadi wajib belajar 12 tahun," tegasnya.
Selain itu Presiden juga mengatakan pemerintah terus memperbaiki dan menambah fasilitas pendidikan. "Saya dapat katakan bahwa pemandangan yang paling indah di Indonesia bukan saja gunung tinggi, hutan lebat dan laut biru kita. Pemandangan paling indah adalah anak-anak kita yang setiap pagi berjalan ke sekolah dengan seragam yang bersih dan penuh ceria. Kita semua mempunyai kewajiban agar mereka dapat belajar dalam sarana sekolah yang nyaman, bersih dan sehat," ujar dia.
Presiden mengatakan, "karena itulah, kita terus membangun sekolah baru dan ruang kelas baru, serta merehabilitasi ruang kelas yang sudah rusak. Sejak 2010, melalui program Gerakan Nasional Rehabilitasi Gedung Sekolah telah diperbaiki hampir 300.000 ruang kelas di seluruh Indonesia."
Satu hal yang juga menggembirakan, ungkap SBY, adalah jumlah anak-anak Indonesia yang masuk ke perguruan tinggi terus meningkat secara drastis. Tahun 2004, setelah hampir 60 tahun merdeka, hanya 14 dari 100 anak usia 19 sampai 23 tahun yang masuk ke perguruan tinggi.
"Sejak itu, kita terus mencari dan melakukan berbagai cara untuk meningkatkan jumlah ini. Hasilnya, kini dari 100 anak usia 19 tahun, 30 telah masuk ke Perguruan Tinggi, atau 2 kali lipat dari 10 tahun sebelumnya. Ini tentu akan sangat berdampak pada pengembangan sumber daya manusia kita sekarang dan di masa mendatang. Inilah modal dasar kita : insan-insan Indonesia yang cerdas, berilmu dan mempunyai keterampilan," papar Presiden SBY. (Mut)

tips how to teach English to make it easy learning
Have you ever wondered what it would take to start teaching English
as a foreign language? For native English speakers, there are often many
opportunities for traveling overseas and teaching English language arts
to students in another country. You may be wondering if you have to
already know another language when teaching English to others, but some
of the best English lessons are often the result of a teacher who only
knows English and therefore forces the students to speak in English to
communicate. This method of teaching where you force your students to
only speak English is known as the direct method or the natural method of teaching a foreign language, and focuses heavily on correct pronunciation and gaining conversational skills.
The first skill you will need to master to start successfully teaching English as a foreign language is the ability to use body gestures and signs effectively. Many students find that they learn a new language better when they are forced to speak only English in the classroom. By refusing to use your student's native language, you force them to learn English by first using your body language and gestures to teach them new words, and then using what they've learned to build even more knowledge. This pattern of learning closely mimics the way babies and infants learn a language, and therefore this method of teaching often 'sticks' better than using rote memorization of English words.
Another important strategy when teaching English is to have your students practice common phrases until they feel completely comfortable with those phrases. This technique is often used with diplomats and allows the student to focus heavily on correct pronunciation and accent. For example, teaching the English equivalent of common greetings, questions, and idioms can go a far way towards teaching English language arts. It's important when teaching any language to focus on the most useful and common phrases first, so your students are able to start conversing right away. There are hundreds of English teaching guides that will help you choose what sorts of phrases and words to focus on first.
