Buku Little Sunshine terlahir atas bentuk keprihatinan tim penulis akan kurangnya materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris tingkat Sekolah Dasar (SD). Seperti yang telah diketahui bersama, kurikulum 2013 yang mengimplementasikan pembelajaran tematik terintegrasi, telah menempatkan bahasa Inggris sebagai ekstra kurikuler pilihan di SD (Kemendikbud, 2013). Sudah semestinya pembelajaran tersebut tidak hanya mengedepankan aspek kognitif saja karena harus mengaktifkan semua aspek termasuk afektif dan psikomotorik. Keterbatasan materi dan media pembelajaran seringkali menjadi alasan ketidaksuskesan pembelajaran bahasa ekstra kurikuler bahasa Inggris di sela implementasi pembelajaran tematik. Buku Little Sunshine ini berisi lagu-lagu anak Indonesia yang juga digunakan dalam tema pembelajaran tematik.Selain lagu, cerita yang ada dalam buku ini juga disarikan dari cerita dalam buku pembelajaran tematik. Dengan konsep dwibahasa, buku ini diharapkan dapat memfasilitasi siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris dengan menyenangkan dan masih berhubungan dengan pembelajaran tematik di kelas. Semoga hadirnya Little Sunshine - Bilingual Book dapat bermanfaat bagi ketersediaan materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris bagi siswa-siswi SD.

Bright English adalah Buku Aktivitas Bahasa Inggris yang dirancang khusus untuk siswa dan guru Kelas 6 Sekolah Dasar dengan menggunakan pendekatan Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL).

Setiap unit dalam buku ini dibagi menjadi Bagian Membaca (Reading), Menulis (Writing) dan Berbicara (Speaking) dengan banyak latihan untuk membantu siswa mempersiapkan ujian bahasa Inggris. Setiap unit juga dilengkapi dengan tips-tips cara efektif belajar Bahasa Inggris, yaitu Grammar Point dan Speaking Corner agar membantu siswa untuk lebih memahami materi yang diberikan secara kontekstual dan komunikatif. Buku ini juga dirancang untuk membantu siswa dengan pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris mandiri. Hal ini untuk mengatasi masalah keterbatasan waktu belajar bahasa Inggris di sekolah, sehingga memberikan lebih banyak sumber daya bagi siswa untuk belajar baik di dalam maupun di luar jam sekolah, baik secara individu maupun kelompok, dengan atau tanpa pengawasan langsung dari guru.

In an effort to implement the curriculum, it is urgent that material development be synergized with the curriculum so as to meet its proper and applicable implementation. A number of grants have been awarded to our faculty members for designing instructional materials. Systematical arrangement of instructional materials is to minimize the gap between planned curriculum and implemented curriculum. FTTE UMM keeps striving to develop curriculum through a long-listed agenda: designing course outlines, materials, media, and evaluation instruments. Those four key components fulfill the National Standard of Higher Education. Until recently, FTTE UMM has developed instructional materials for 27 selected courses, comprising 9 pedagogy courses and 18 content specific courses. This Speaking book is the manifestation of our incessant contribution to the field of education. Not only does it contain several relevant topics, but it is equipped with various activities to accommodate students with active, meaningful, and independent learning as well. It is then specially wrapped in the form of hybrid learning materials. Finally, it is highly expected that FTTE UMM, through its continuous efforts, could achieve the standards as stipulated by the Curriculum of Higher Education, aiming for the National Standard of Higher Education in Indonesia.

While lexicology, lexical semantics, and lexicography all share an interest in lexical items, they often tend to be regarded as three separate albeit interrelated fields. Indeed, the extent to which the interrelationship is recognized and taken into account in lexicographic practice is the moot point. The conference which produced the papers offered in this volume was designed to bring their practioners together and thus gives an impetus to closer cooperation among them, It is the editors' conviction that the practical activity of lexicography should learn more from its sister fields. People working in lexicography, lexical semantics, etc. may find some of the insights arrived at in the more practically oriented descriptions pertinent and useful.

NEW EDITION: Brand new designed jacket, added higher resolution & redesigned illustrations. Well... it seems that these animals don't want to take their medicine! But step by step, each one discovers that taking medicine is really very important for the animals, as well as for the children! A funny way to learn and a funny way to teach. As everyone knows how difficult it can be to explain to young children how important it is to take one's medicine... --- THE BOOK OF THE ANIMALS: FUN LEARNING FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS What are certainly the most occurring moments in a parent's life? When their child doesn't want to wash, eat, sleep, go to school, share, take medicine, get vaccinated... And what can a parent answer to these refusals? The successful "Book of The Animals" bilingual children's books series was created with the aim to help both parents and children to discover the benefits of washing, eating, sleeping, going to school, sharing, taking medicine, getting vaccinated... in a fun as well as educational manner. Since the books are also bilingual, parents will enjoy the teaching and the interactivity they can gain from reading them with their children. THE AUDIENCE The books are geared towards children aged 2-5, before elementary/primary school. They will likely be bilingual children whose parents want to encourage the learning of their two current languages. They will also be children whose parents want to teach a language at a young age. Some teachers have also been using the books of the series as a way to teach a second language to children, with themes easy for them to both understand and memorise. THE CURRENT BOOKS There are currently seven books in the series. Each episode brings on new animals, new words, new situations and new stories. - Ep.1. "These Animals... Don't Want to Wash!" (2008) - Ep.2. "These Animals... Don't Want to Eat!" (2009) - Ep.3. "These Animals... Don't Want to Sleep!" (2010) - Ep.4. "These Animals... Don't Want to Go to School!" (2011) - Ep.5. "These Animals... Don't Want to Share!" (2011) - Ep.6. "These Animals... Don't Want to Take their Medicine!" (2012) - Ep.7. "These Animals... Don't Want to Get Vaccinated!" (2012) The books are all available in either bilingual or monolingual versions: - Bilingual versions: English-French, English-Portuguese, English-Italian, English-Spanish, English-Swedish, English-Creole, English-Japanese... More versions still to come! Check out the official website: www.TheBookOfTheAnimals.com REVIEW "The Book of the Animals is a planned series of illustrated books for young children. [...] These delightful books tell the story of what happens when the animals in the stories, like many young children, don't want to eat and don't want to wash... The books are very suitable both for reading to young children and for older children to use to learn to read in both languages. They might even persuade them to wash and eat their dinner! The repetitive structure is supportive of children learning new words and the illustrations work well alongside the text to help understanding of unfamiliar words. I can easily imagine young children demanding repeat readings and enjoying learning the text by heart as many children do with favourite stories. Children learning to make up and write their own stories might well want to write a personalised version, using the structure as a prop. I think the stories would work well both in the home and in the classroom."

Busy elementary librarians need help applying the new AASL Standards Framework, especially in collaboration with social studies teachers seeking to apply the social studies standards framework. This book shows a path forward for both. This book will be a tremendous help to the busy elementary school librarian who is working with busy elementary social studies teachers. As they are designing and co-teaching library-based lessons based on the Social Studies Standards Framework, the English Literacy Common Core Standards, and the new American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards Learners Framework, these reproducible lessons will enhance planning and implementation. You'll get ready-to-use lessons as well as model lessons to adapt to the needs of your own curriculum and students. All standards are applied—with needed handouts—and other tools and current lists of recommended resources are provided. Lessons are coordinated to common elementary social studies curricula at indicated grade levels but can be adapted as template lessons as needed. Current resource lists aid librarians in collection development to support new and current standards.
