Sandra Helindo from SDN 19 Dulupi, Kab. Boalemo, one of the program's participant teachers, said that although he is not an English teacher at his school, he is grateful to be able to participate in the materials provided during the workshop. He also appreciated the teachers and creative learning methods from EF Hello Future.
From the various English trainings that I have participated in, I think EF has a different and interesting approach so that it makes learning more fun and able to break the stigma that English is difficult. What makes the lack of interest in English among students, one that is a scourge is the difference between writing and the way to read it. Therefore, thank you to the EF and Indonesia Teaching teams, I believe and believe the application of this creative learning method can encourage students to no longer be afraid and hesitant, and get bored to learn English. Let's continue to move, move and move," he explained.
The Hello Future EF program which lasts for three days from 10 to 13 May 2023 as well as the EF makes it a moment to accelerate and optimize the implementation of creative learning that utilizes the PPP (Present, Practice, Produce) method, while socializing with the surrounding village community.
"We not only feel the big enthusiasm for the EF Hello Future program from teachers and students, but also people from surrounding villages such as the villages of Olibu, Buba, Bajo and others. In village cruise activities, people from various age groups give their warm welcome and are enthusiastic about sharing local wisdom in their area with us. We are also happy, in every program that is run there is always a new insight that enriches our region in developing continuous learning methods, which in turn can present solutions, in particular how to become more creative in the teaching and education learning process, in the midst of the challenges that exist and will be faced, "concluded July Simatupang, Director of Corporate Affairs EF Indonesia.
