Panduan Berbahasa Inggris

Kata Pengantar

Melakukan percakapan dalam bahasa Inggris, apalagi di tengah lingkungan orang-orang yang memakai bahasa Indonesia, bukanlah hal yang mudah. Kebanyakan hambatan berasal dari diri sendiri yang merasa gengsi untuk memulai percakapan dalam bahasa Inggris dengan sesama orang Indonesia, atau merasa takut salah dalam hal penggunaan tata bahasa dan kosa kata. Padahal dalam belajar, keinginan untuk terus berlatih tanpa takut untuk berbuat salah harus terus dipupuk. Toh kesalahan dapat diperbaiki, dan kita bisa belajar dari tiap kesalahan yang kita buat untuk membuat kemampuan kita berbahasa Inggris semakin baik dan sempurna. Pepatah bahasa Indonesia mengatakan “Alah bisa karena biasa”, sementara pepatah Inggris mengatakan “Practice makes perfect”.

Buku Panduan Berbahasa Inggris ini disusun berdasarkan pengalaman pelaksanaan English Day di suatu sekolah. Keengganan untuk berlatih dan kesulitan pencarian kosa kata, biasanya menjadi faktor penghambat pelaksaanan English Day di kalangan siswa.
