Mari ke Tokyo dengan si ERA


Hello my dear fellow teachers,

It was so long...that I didn't see you all through my post, ya? Maaf lama ngga muncul dan ngeksis di blog inih. Ceritanya si eomma cantik lagi sok sibuk dan galau getohh sedang mencari format yang pas (terusss berusaha) menjadi emak2 yang baik, istri yang cuantik, dan guru yang baik. Haha. seperti biasah semuanya harus siap dengan bahasa lebay si eomma cantik.

Well, this is the first post of Year 2017. Meskipun terlambat inyong mengucapkan: " Happy new year all, wish all the best for all of us in this wonderful year. Aamiin." Sudahkah buat target2 tahun 2017? PAstiii sudah. Nah, adakah di antara temans2 yang menargetkan jelong2 ke luar negeri tahun ini dengan gretong atau budget seminimal mungkin dan manfaat semaksimal mungkin??? If so, raise your hand.
Dan..eomma cantik nan lebayy inilah yang ngacung pertama. Yap, that's right. Saya bocorin salah satu targetku tahun ini ya temans. Tahun ini saya menargetkan explore Tokyo dengan budget se minimal mungkin. Empat (4) hari, cukup lah..asal hotel free, jelong2 ada yang nemenin, tiket si Burung camar jugag disubsidi. Wow bingits kan targetnya. Is it an MI? alias Mission Impossible??? NOPE. Nothing is impossible. Who knows??? Dan temans....memang ada jalan untuk yang pengen ke Japan tahun ini.

How??? Let's join the 4th Extensive Reading World Congress yang akan diselenggarakan di

Toyo Gakuen University, Tokyo, Japan, August 4-7, 2017.

Lha njuk kok bisa gretong ke sana???
Nah ini konferensi nya menyediakan scholarship bagi kite2 para educators yang ada di negara ke 3 yang mungkin berminat ikut conference tapi ada financial worries :(. Jadi yang bisa kita lakukan adalah propose ke committee dan banyak berdoa semoga keberuntungan ada di kitah. 3 tahun lalu saya mencoba apply ke committtee waktu itu ERWC 2 diselenggarakan di Yonsei University, Seoul, Korsel. Pada saat itu inyong belum lolos dapat beasiswanya tapi sudah kadung pengendd bingits ke Seoul. Alhamdulillah waktu itu masih disponsori oleh P2TK (hehe.. beasiswa S2 nya dipakai jalan2). Nah kalau sekarang ya, harus ikutan program ini nig. Ayooo siapa yang ikut ke Tokyo dengan si ERA. (saha teh Era??) ERA itu adalah Extensive reading activities. Sekarang kan gerakan literasi sedang digencarkan to?? nah, ER atau extensive reading inih memang sedang juga ngetrend. Seperti apa ER?ER adalah reading for pleasure cara gampange gitu..jadi membaca untuk kesenangan bukan memang karena kud membaca tapi karena mau membaca.

Langsung aja ini nih programnya saya copy and paste dari websitenya langsung di http://erfoundation.org/erwc4/?page_id=23

Application procedure:
As a spam prevention measure, we ask you to do the following:
Send an email message, copying this address into the “To:” area of your email, replacing the asterisk (“*”) with a dot, and the characters “-at-” with the “@” mark: scholar-info-at-erfoundation*org. Use “Scholarship info request” as the subject of the message. You will then receive an automatic reply with instructions on how to create an account for yourself on the ERF moodle site. You will need to confirm your registration by email.
Enter the Scholarship page with the enrollment key provided in the email. If you have any problems with the above procedure, please contact scholarship-at-erfoundation*org.
You will find links there for you to upload your CV, your statement, and your travel cost estimate. Make sure that your name is part of each document name and that your name appears at the top of each document that you upload.
Please submit all documents in English.
The following documents must be submitted:
1) A current CV listing educational background, employment history, and any publications and presentations.
2) A “Statement of Purpose” outlining: a) How you have attempted to apply ER/EL to your classes or school; and b) What problems you see in expanding the use of ER/EL in your own teaching/learning environment as well as in your country as a whole.
3) One recommendation from a current or previous supervisor (not a colleague). This document should be submitted directly to the ER Foundation by the recommender as an email attachment to <recommendations-at-erfoundation*org> and must arrive by the deadline.
4) An estimate of the total cost of transportation from the airport nearest your home to Tokyo (NRT [Narita International] or HND [Tokyo International/Haneda]). The conference is committed to bringing scholars from all areas of the world, but since funds are limited, the cost of transportation will be a factor in the decision, particularly when there are multiple applications from the same region. Note that the cost of transportation is capped at $1,000 USD. Scholarship awardees will be requested to personally cover any additional funds required.


So, yang disiapin sekarang adalah:
1. CV
2. Statement purpose ttg pelaksanaan ERA dan masalahnya
3. Surat rekomendasi dari atasan sekarang atau mantan supervisor
4. perkiraan biaya
