Preface

The use of Classroom English is a good beginning step for encouraging students to feel comfortable in a foreign language and for them to begin to “think” in that language.  The more times they use the phrases, the comfortable they will be.  The goal is to get students to react in English, rather than in Bahasa Indonesia. 

One of the benefits of using the Classroom English  Expression is the fact that students have access to the textbooks whenever they want and  therefore have no excuse not to use Classroom English.

In this book, some more Classroom English Expressions are found after the model of conversation which can be adopted for classroom activities and be useful for both teachers and students who want to improve their English especially for bilingual class. Everything in this book is served simply and easily-applied.

Two versions of languages, English and Bahasa Indonesia, are served. On the left page in English and on the right page in Bahasa Indonesia. The translation in this book is based on the contextual and idiomatic translation to the readers will find some different phrases of expressions in English but will have the same meaning in bahasa Indonesia.

I hope this book can help some teachers use English as a means of language instruction in the classroom. I am most grateful to all readers who use this book. 

“The Greatest value of being a teacher is the one who not only can make students learn but also give more inspiration.”
