Teaching Expressing Curiosity

I was confused about how to teach expressing curiosity in my class.  One of my students ever told me that I have to more creative in using teaching technique so that they will not bored any more in following my class when I asked their suggestion in the lesson before as reflection. At that time, I remembered about English corner technique that I did in TOT and TOEIC at Great Western Resort Hotel In Tangerang a month before. So I decided to try using that technique  with some modifications in some part.
I thought hard to recall all activities done and I tried to write it before I made a lesson planning about the activity that I would do in my class. Here are Some steps which I did in my classroom;


  1. 1.       The teacher shows some picture about natural disaster and ask the student about its name
  2. 2.       The teacher asks the student about how and why it happened, teacher and students talk about it
  3. 3.       Teacher  show the dialogue talking about expressing wonder (curiosity) and underline the expression used
  4. 4.       The teacher gives some other example of expressing curiosity
  5. 5.       The teacher asks the students to express their wonder to their friends and take turn
  6. 6.       The students write their curiosity on paper and stick it on the wall
  7. 7.       The student gives a comment on their friends’ wall
  8. 8.       The students sit back on their table and make a conclusion about the class.
During the activities the students were very excited in did every activity, especially when they write their curiosity about something on their paper while gave comment on their friends’ paper. They very enjoyed it and ignore the ball rang.  I asked about their feeling at the end activity, all of my student said that they were very happy and asked me to do it again in next lesson.
If you want to feel what I felt at that time, you may try the steps of its activity. Hopefully it can help you in make your class more exciting and increase your students’ motivation in learning English. Good luck!
