Competency Based Language Teaching by Suryani

CBLT is a method that is used by teacher that insists the teacher to use Syllabus as a guide of the teacher to teach students. This method consists of the theory of learning language so that this theory is considered can improve students ability to master foreign language. The theory of language here is students learn naturally through communication between one to another.

In this method, Syllabus is very important, so syllabus must make students can use language instead of the knowledge of language. It means, the important pint is students can communicate or can speak and understand what has been spoken by others instead of they know the rule/knowledge of the language. To build this method in classroom, there are four materials that can be used by teacher namely sample text, assessment task, reading competencies and writing competencies.

The role of teacher in this method is to make a suitable syllabus to students in order to students can get a true understanding about the material. After that, teacher also must give a very clear explanation. In giving task, teacher must give a clear order and if students make mistake, teacher must not punish them. Teacher must create a very welcome situation of the class in order to students can study comfort.

On the other hand, students also have their own role in class. Students must be active in class. They must perform skills that have been taught by teacher. They also have to stay in actual program until their abilities improve.

This method is presented by Suryani. Actually, the materials of her power point is almost completed but she seemed not well prepared and did not master her topic. I can say that because she did not explain the material clearly. After that, she could not control the condition of the class so that the class was very noise and that maybe made she cried. I personally think, that she did not need to cry, one she need is to master the material so that she can control the condition of the class.
