Galilei English Club

Galilei English Club

Galilei English Club

This club was founded in July, 2003. We did this because we would like to improve and develop our knowledge especially English. And we are conscious that we have little knowledge of English and we know that to face the global era we really need English - the international language. Our members are all girls and all are around 17 years of age. We joined the club through our boarding school. We have relationship with other organisations such as LIPS (Language Intensive Programs of SLTP), FLDC (Foreign Language Development Centre), PSI (Centre for Islamic Study), Language Plus and Language Centre.

Capt. KGRE visited the Galilei Club on the 3rd of April 2006 and here is a part of his Travel Report posted on the KGRE Travel Page.

.....There were probably 100 girls at the meeting and they were fantastic. They were keen, vibrant and their English was so good. There were lots of questions and lots of excitement too. We had games and quizzes and even teachers joined in......

Galilei English Club Book

Alistair Welsh is an ISELP teacher trainer working at PP Nurul Jadid in Paiton, East Java. However, his first visit to Indonesia was on a school trip with Geelong High School as a student in 1978. That Indonesian Language Study Tour went to Jakarta, Bandung, Jogja and Bali. Then in 1984, when he was 22 years old, he was a participant in the Australia Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP) with extended stays in Lampung and Central Java. Then in 1989 he came back to Indonesia as a teacher in Maluku province in Tual and Ambon. It was during his time in Tual that he first experienced KGRE. He was sent a KGRE work booklet and cassette recording which he immediately used with teachers in his teacher workshop sessions. The materials were very interesting, very modern and at that time very appropriate for teachers. Alistair is in East Java until late 2006 and he loves Indonesia - and always has!

Sugiono is a well known teacher in the Probolinggo area of East Java. For one thing, he has been very proactive in setting up connections with KGRE. He really motivated students at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid to start an English language club - the Galilei Club, KGCC #022. Sugiono has also been active with Radio SMANJA FM, based at Nurul Jadid in Paiton. He managed the English language section of the station for quite some time and now English is a really busy part of the station's regular programming. Sugiono was at IALF Bali in April/May 2006 preparing for his journey to Australia as an Australian Development Scholarship student studying for his Master of Education degree at Flinders University, Adelaide, specialising in educational leadership and management. Alistair Welsh, ISELP Aussie teacher trainer at Nurul Jadid told KGRE "I think he's a great candidate. He's an excellent teacher. Students and his fellow teachers recognise he's a very, very good English teacher. He's also a very nice guy and a good operator." 

 Kevin R Dalton can be said that He is the leader of KanGURU Radio English. One day he came to our school and give us some motivation and some souvenir from Australia.
