Situasi Berbasis Masalah

1. Imagine you're at the zoo and need to describe the animals you see to someone who doesn't speak your language, using only English. How would you describe each animal and its characteristics?

2. Think about how you'd contribute during a botanical field trip in an English-speaking country. How would you share your observations about different plants and their parts with your teammates?

Kontekstualisasi

Recognizing and using vocabulary related to animals, plants, and parts of the body in English is essential not just in school, but also in daily life and professional settings, like travelling, studying abroad, or attending conferences. Additionally, learning intriguing facts about the origins of words can enhance student engagement. For instance, while the exact origin of the word 'shark' is uncertain, it doesn't come from the Yiddish word 'shurke'. Such curiosities can aid in memorizing and associating terms.
