Microfinance recognizes that poor people are remarkable reservoirs of energy and knowledge. And while the lack of financial services is a sign of poverty, today it is also understood as an untapped opportunity to create markets, bring people in from the margins and give them the tools with which to help themselves. Where once the poor were commonly seen as passive victims, microfinance recognizes that poor people are remarkable reservoirs of energy and knowledge. And while the lack of financial services is a sign of poverty, today it is also understood as an untapped opportunity to create markets, bring people in from the margins and give them the tools with which to help themselves.

Sudah pasti, bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa internasional di dunia. Bahasa Inggris lebih intens lagi didengar dan digunakan di internet. Karakteristik social network global di internet telah meletakkan bahasa Inggris pada posisi spesial yang disebut "lingua franca". Seharusnya setiap orang yang aktif online menyadari hal tersebut. Tapi masih banyak orang yang merasa kesulitan menguasai bahasa ini. Rata-rata orang Indonesia yang cukup bisa berbahasa Inggris sepotong-sepotong dalam sebuah percakapan, membaca beberapa artikel juga masih mampu. Kesulitan sering kali muncul ketika harus membuat tulisan atau "speaking" dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Tak hanya itu, mana kata yang "pas" untuk digunakan, apakah tata bahasanya benar atau tidak, atau, "sebenarnya dia ngomong apa sih?" benar-benar menjadi momok. Bahasa Inggris sering dianggap sebagai teori di atas kertas dan tidak diwujudkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Karena lingkungan sekitar tidak menggunakannya, as the result, bahasa Inggris akhirnya sulit dikuasai sebab jarang didengar dan digunakan. Padahal, bahasa Inggris sudah berkembang menjadi bahasa kedua (second language). Kelas internasional di kampus, atau kelas bilingual di SLTP/A sudah memakai bahasa Inggris. Perusahaan multinasional yang bercokol di mana-mana mengangkat bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa surat-menyurat, bahkan bahasa gaul mereka. Untuk itu Anda tak perlu khawatir. Banyak sekali fitur internet yang bisa membantu Anda berbahasa Inggris secara lebih baik lagi. Buku terbitan Pustaka Grhatama (Galangpress Gorup) ini akan berbagai strategi dalam MEMANIPULASI DUNIA MAYA menjadi sebuah ENGLISH ENVIRONMENT yang Anda cari-cari selama ini!
"The text is extraordinarily succinct, very well organised and highly readable. Each chapter examines in depth specific aspects of teaching and learning in drama and well-chosen practical examples can readily be adopted by teachers. A 'must' for all primary schools." Drama (the Journal of National Drama) Review of ‘Drama in Primary English teaching’ Teaching Primary English through Drama builds on the success of the classic text Drama in Primary English, inspiring ideas and techniques for teaching English skills through the medium of drama. Focusing on the power of drama to promote effective learning in primary education, Suzi Clipson-Boyles demonstrates how reading, writing, speaking and listening skills may be developed in ways that will motivate and engage pupils. She uses specific examples from the English curriculum, and also makes links to other areas of the curriculum. In addition, the book explains how assessment during drama can help teachers to evaluate pupils’ progress in English. Further guidance is given on how drama can enrich studying for pupils who are learning English as a foreign language. The book also provides a chapter on developing drama as an art form in its own right, with simple ideas and practical suggestions on how to enhance performances. Teaching Primary English through Drama presents a wide range of drama approaches from ten-minute starter activities to stimulate ideas such as fun ways to practise reading, through to longer projects that can provide contexts for extended writing or help with presentation and performance. The chapters show how drama can help to bring lessons alive in imaginative ways that not only promote enjoyment but also enhance achievement. This comprehensive and practical guide offers essential reading for primary teachers and other practitioners, and is a valuable resource to trainees. It also provides an excellent foundation for those who wish to extend their expertise further towards drama as a subject specialism.
