ReplyDeleteletih btol asyik tukar2 silibus nie. teringat sy masa kt sekolah dulu, tiap2 taon BM bertukar silibus. naik penin sy. haih.
agak nyer dorang nak buat duit jual buku text baru x?
wasalam
gosh! where am i going to get all these books!?
ReplyDeleteWaalaikumussalam olyyn,
ReplyDeleteSebenarnya komponen literature B.Inggeris dah hampir 8 tahun digunakan, teks pun dah boleh dihafal oleh guru-guru yang berpengalaman mengajar, hehehee..
Yang terbaru ini nampaknya memberikan pendekatan baru dalam pembelajaran remaja, dan mungkin dipercayai lebih sesuai dengan jiwa remaja berbanding teks yang digunakan dulu. Saya pun baru menghayati teks baru ini, memang bakal menjadi cabaran baru kepada semua guru yang bakal mengajar Tingkatan 1 & 4. Beruntunglah pelajar yang mendapat guru yang benar-benar memahami kehendak teks.
Waalaikumussalam ummimusa,
ReplyDeleteWell, all of those texts are actually compiled in a small book for Form 1, and in another equally small book for Form 4. The books are already in schools for those eligible for textbook loans but I'm not sure if they've arrived at the bookshops.
Sorry, forgot to take a picture of the books. InsyaAllah will do soon.
Salam ziarah. Blog anda sgt menarik. Jemputlah dtg ke blog saya pula. Jom kita saling jadi follower? Buat MOU, OK? Thanks.

Waalaikumussalam juk,
ReplyDeleteTerima kasih, segala pujian bagi Allah.
Dah ziarah blog juk, dah dah buat. MOU? hahaha..
salam,
ReplyDeleteaduhai, tukar lagi, seingat saya dulu, kami tahun 2000 antar pelajar tingkatan 1 yang terawal diminta belajar komponen sastera bahasa inggeris ni, hmmm, tapi tak fahamlah kenapa suka tukar-tukar ya? mesti beritahu mak ni.
saya harap guru-guru dapat membantu pelajar dalam hal ni.
Waalaikumussalam syahidah,
ReplyDeleteSebenarnya penukaran ni belum diumumkan secara rasmi, guru-guru pun belum pasti tentang sillabus baru ini tetapi buku-buku teks sudah sampai untuk diedarkan kepada para pelajar tingkatan 1 pada tahun 2010.Teks baru ini lebih mencabar, lebih panjang untuk short stories tetapi lebih menarik untuk sesi perbincangan bagi pelajar cemerlang. Untuk pelajar lemah B.Inggeris pula, semoga dibekalkan bahan pengajaran yang sesuai [sigh].
assalamualaikum..salam ziarah..
ReplyDeletemay i know..are those books already on the market?i badly need it to be used in my assignment..
waalakumussalam effa_dilla,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether those books are already in the bookshops, but they should be. One thing for sure, they're definitely added in the textbook scheme for school students. However you may buy the reference books on this latest literature component. I got mine at Popular.
i see..thanx a lot for the info..how much does it cost anyway?
ReplyDeleteeffa_dila,
ReplyDeleteYou mean the reference books? Those by Pelangi are RM6.65, by Eastview are RM5.50.
nak tau poem latiff mohidin dan bibsy soenharjo tu terjemahan ke? nak bantu anak dapatkan bahan pembelajaran. kalau yang asal dlm bm mana nak dapat website yang ada maklumatnya? tolong!!!!!
ReplyDeletemossczarfar,
ReplyDeleteSaya sendiri sudah beberapa hari mencari sajak asal Latiff Mohidin yang diterjemahankan itu dalam internet tetapi masih belum ditemui.Perlu tanya pakar sastera BM.Sebenarnya tak perlu karya asal dalam BM pun, tetapi saya sebagai guru ingin menanam rasa bangga dalam jiwa anak-anak Melayu kita tentang kehebatan penyajak Melayu sehingga berjaya diterjemahkan ke bahasa asing dan turut digunakan di luar negara.
Bibsy Soenharjo menulis dalam B.Indonesia & B.Inggeris. Poem yang digunakan dalam Literature dipercayai karya asal, bukan terjemahan.
thanks for responding, found the original zurina's poem in bm. still googling for latiff original. i will be a big help to me and my students in overcoming this literature components. plis 'pump' to me any info about it and any form 4 lit comp teaching materials

ReplyDeleteHi Aliya,
ReplyDeletegreat blog! For everyone's information, textbooks are given to all students in national schools no matter their background. This practice started a couple of years back.
The guideline sent to schools states that for Form 4, students should learn the poems "in the midst of hardship' and 'He has such quiet eyes', short stories and drama. The last two poems will be taught in Form 5 along with a novel.
ReplyDeleteIt'd take a lot of understanding of those texts for the teacher to be able to teach and guide the students.
as i see it, everyone is still in limbo about the new literature. Black Baeuty....how will it be tested in PMR? Format? Any idea? Anyone has gone for any courses on this? Plz share d courses with us......Really pening noh.....
ReplyDeleteby : nurullina ain lee (smka sultan azlan shah, bota)
Dear ain,
ReplyDeleteDon't panic. PMR with the new literature component is in 2012. I'm more worried about the coming 2011 SPM English paper with a drama and new Form 5 novels, which have not been selected yet, hahaha.
Courses are being held nationwide but you'd have to pay for it out of your own pocket :P
Sorry, haven't attended any yet.
Aku masih tak jumpa buku ni untuk buat rujukan
ReplyDeleteni yang susah
ni
Macam mana aku nak belajar
mosszarfar,
ReplyDeleteThe Malay version of 'in the midst of hardship'.
Alhamdulillah, one thing about being a blogger. You won't know what rezeki Allah would sent. Thanks to Zaleha Ahmat yang pemurah, here's the original poem.
(dalam bencana)
mereka pulang ke rumah
waktu subuh hari
dengan pakaian robek basah
menghampiri api tungku
lengan mereka penuh calar
kaki mereka penuh luka
tapi di kening mereka
tidak kelihatan rasa kecewa
sehari semalaman
mereka mengharungi banjir
berendam antara bangkai ternakan
dan serpihan kulit tumbuhan
kerbau balar si buyung
masih belum ditemui.
mereka dilahirkan dalam bencana
tidak ada keluhan dan kutukan
kini mereka berjenaka di dapur
sambil menggulung rokok daun. (1978)
dari kumpulan puisi latiff mohidin "Serpihan Dari Pedalaman" (1979)
buzzeradmin,
ReplyDeleteKenapa belum jumpa? Cuba cari di kedai yang jual buku teks. Kalau tiada juga, perlulah pinjam dari guru B.Inggeris.
