The Procedure of Contextual Teaching and Learning

The Procedure of Contextual Teaching and Learning

The classroom organization does not deal directly with materials, methods, or approaches to improving vocabulary, yet without good classroom organization and classroom management, reading instruction may be totally in effective.

The writer also believe the CTL applied to senior high school students still has to get more direction from the teacher. Hence, the students might have opportunity to arrange the chairs and Tables in order to have communicative class using a CTL in the class room after they get instruction from the teacher.

2.      Assessment of Vocabulary through Contextual Teaching and Learning.

3.      The Advantages and Disadvantages of  Using Contextual Teaching and Learning

Excess
1. Learning becomes more meaningful and real. This means that students are required to grasp the relationship between the experience of studying in school to real life. It is very important, because with can connect material found with real life, not only for the students the material that will work functionally, but the material learned will be embedded firmly in the memory of students.

 2. Learning more productive and able to foster the strengthening of the concept to the students because the learning method adopted CTL flow constructivism, in which a student is led to find his own knowledge. Through the foundation of philosophical constructivism students are expected to learn through "experience" instead of "memorizing".

Weakness
1. Teachers are more intensive in the lead. Because the CTL method. Teachers no longer serves as a center of information. The task is to manage the classroom teacher as a team that works together to discover new knowledge and skills for students. Students are viewed as a developing individual. One's learning ability will be influenced by the level of development and breadth of experience he has. Thus, the teacher's role is not as instructors or "ruler" that forces the will but the teacher is supervising students so they can learn according to the stage of its development.
2. Teachers provide opportunities for students to discover or implement their own ideas and invite students for being aware and consciously use their own strategies for learning. But in this context of course teachers need extra attention and guidance to students for learning purposes in accordance with what was originally applied.
