| Can get very confusing – Group discussions are wonderful ways to spark ideas and facilitate discussion. However, they can also get very confusing when the group is large or the number of topics being discussed is quite high. It is easy for everyone to get mixed up and not know what they’re talking about.Not everyone will get a chance to express their views – In a group discussion, not everyone will get a chance to express their views. Some people may feel that they are being ignored or that their opinion is not as important. When someone doesn’t speak up, it could be because they’re nervous, shy, or forgot what they wanted to say.

Debate Debate is an excellent activity for language learning because it engages students in a variety of cognitive and linguistic ways. Debating is a fun, educational way of encouraging your students to really engage with topics. Learning to debate teaches students how to apply critical analysis and how to prepare an argument using facts and sound research. It also teaches students valuable communication skills such as how to deliver a speech and how to effectively defend the points they make. Debating can take many forms. However debating is also a useful teaching methodology. The components of debating can be applied across a range of curriculum areas and can help your students develop higher order skills. Debating exercises can be used for group work and for whole class activities. Debate method is the method that allows students to express their arguments. Unlike discussion which focuses on solving problems together and to find the solutions of certain problems, Debate cleaves the class into two separated or contradictive arguments. This forces the students to compete, defend, and clarify their arguments with the opposite arguments in the class. They should stick on their arguments that they have built although the arguments are contradictive to their personal opinions. Debate has named variously by expert. Some of them say that debate is active method of learning. Some others say that debate is part of innovative method. Silberman (1996: 141) asserts Debate as an active method of learning. it means that all students could be involved in the debate. He also clarifies that it is a valuable method to improve students’ thinking, especially students who are expected to deliver their points nevertheless they actually do not agree with the topics. Active debate, if conducted with good procedure, will create an enthusiastic atmosphere among the students because everyone will be encouraged to utter their thought, do rebuttals, and state the confirmation arguments. In rhythm with Silberman’s theory, Suyatno (2009:70) added that Debate method as part of innovative learning. It is innovative because it is extremely suitable with the principles of innovative learning. Debate focuses on the students as the subjects. The students are the ones who choose the topics, find the arguments, find proofs, and present their opinions to their then so called opponents. This is what innovative learning expert call “student center”. What the students will debate about is called topic or resolution, or motion which are basically problems. These problems will be solved together in the form of debate. These activities are called “problem based” activities. This method also promotes an integrated learning because the students will learn many English skills such as listening, speaking, note taking, critical thinking, and reading. Therefore the learning is a “society based” learning. Furthermore This Debate method gives choices to the learners. The learners are not only encouraged to speak up, but also to sharpen their other English skills. If they are good at critical thinking, they can share their thought to their teams. If they are good at note taking, they can work hand in hand to conclude and summarize the overall results of the debate. When the debate is done systematically, the output of this method will be very beneficial to the students. It will give them advanced benefits of the debate. For example they will be aware with the society’s phenomenon and problems. The learner will be able to think critically for the development of themselves. the learners will be accustomed to read a lot because to find the arguments, the students need to read a lot of literatures like newspaper, magazine, articles, etc. this is important to broaden their knowledge and understanding about the topics they are going to debate. This hopefully will be a sustainable learning, as learners will consider reading as the habit In general, Debate method requires students to divide themselves into two separate groups consisting positive and negative side. A speaker of a group will deliver their discussion result or thought. Then another speaker of the other side will give comments and oppose the opinion. According WolfWikies (2011) Debate involves students selecting and researching an issue, then presenting their positions on the issue. The debate ends with each side summing their positions and panel determining a winner. Note that this activity requires teacher pre-select materials for debate team members to use or carefully review materials being used by students. To end the debate, it is not necessary to announce the winner. Nevertheless, discussion after a heated debate is needed. This is important to meet understanding between the groups. The way is to place students face to face, the pro and con teams. Silberman (1996: 142) emphasizes that topics are given randomly. The topics should be those are controversial which is related to students’ ability and lessons. About the division of the students, he also suggested the class is divided into two up to four sub debate teams, in order every class member can be actively involved the debate. The choice of debate topics is very essential to guarantee the learners are debating something they really know about. This is important because if the students understand the topics, they will be easier to get the hints to find the materials. Talking about materials, EFL teachers need to prepare the right materials for the debate. It is suggested that the teacher prepare bring some materials like texts, newspaper, magazines, etc. Teacher can also allow the students find the materials of the debate through the internet. Based on Dobson (1981: 65) here are some debate topics or statements suitable for classroom debate, note that the teachers can find the topics which are more suitable to the learners background, culture, and the current issues circulating in the learner’s societies. The suggested topics are: Are pets useful or helpful? What is better for learning; teachers or the internet? Is junk food suitable for children or not? Should students wear uniforms to school? What is the right time to watch television for children? Is virtual learning suitable for young children? жүктеу/скачать 167,52 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
