IN the language we use, says Ludwig Wittgenstein, Austrian philosopher of language, implied an orientation of life which not only includes the concept that we have adopted on about, but also feelings, values, thoughts, culture, up to superstition. Language is very important. Is to determine the relationship and association in every respect in society.

Descriptions like this, "All day at home continues, out of the house if college aja. Kalo is not no college? Yes ngurung themselves in their rooms. If not learn, yes slept. Frequently actually learn while asleep. Weird, huh? Not normally boarding school boys-coquettish coquettish was not acting. Usually, as soon hear no sale at the mall or a music concert okay, hebohnya since two months before. " however, shows that there is something wrong with the user-Indonesian.
Of course, that example might not be understood by the board, let alone from one side only. Overview of examples that can be received as a result of education is chaotic, it can also represent people who want to be free. Looks indifference, was harassment, and both ensure that Indonesian was not considered important nor valuable to its owner. But if we believe in language as a fruit of mind, logic tool for gathering idiom for the delivery of thoughts and feelings, how language should be associated with the ability to think. Accuracy and speak with such civility, is a reflection of one's reason and culture.
That led us to the schools that educate students capable of reading and writing in Indonesian language teaching. What happens at school? What is with all the effort, money, time, and effort expended, we will only reap failure? How do I manage the eyes of Indonesian language teaching so interesting and can leave their mark on the students? Is there a way to learn the language so that students discover interests and thus can develop their potential let alone find his true identity?
First, it must be credible, ie language learning reading, writing, and speaking is part of the thinking process. With the language, students are enabled to think I might up to the level of the complex because of the availability of a structure to express and recognize the relationship antarkonsep and with that he can communicate with each other. In language lessons, students learn about how to communicate while recognizing culturally appropriate ways of thinking that he learned the language. Therefore, all efforts in the classroom are deployed to enable communication and foster critical thinking skills. Examples of the daily papers to prove that students are not unusual and can think. Converse and communicate is also difficult for many people. The same appears also on their reading.
Second, because language is the thoughts and feelings that were born from a culture and world, then students will only engage in language lessons if he is treated as a subject, allowed to enter actively in the world he was reading, and make reading a part of himself. This is called Paulo Freire as a reading and writing that grew from a dynamic movement to "read the world", which talked about the experience, speaking freely and spontaneously, and no separate read and write letters and words from reading and writing life.
Third, with humility teachers need to realize the importance of increased knowledge about students, about the language being taught and have believed, let alone about life as a source of and reason for the importance of language and become human. Teachers need to be patient and tolerant face and accept the students and always impatient to provide the best. By recognizing the complexity of the development of students, the critical success affirmatively expected to love their students, as well as to receive and pushed to do more, which makes it more responsible for their duties. It strengthens the quality of teachers to motivate students to interpret the reading, capture the meaning and rewrite what they read, and change it.
LOVE, Trial National Final Examination Indonesian junior 20 April 2003 and then show how language education in Indonesia is embracing the concept of banking, because the exam was engineered solely to check what is acceptable student-teachers who dideposito-what they chew and memorize.

A work published in 30's, about a 27-year-old leader is bothering her soul mate, was clearly far from the world of junior high school children. From this test looks neglected the needs of students, suspected of thinking rather than be left guessing, and still needed to involve feelings and interests.
So, what can be done, and what changes are needed? Centre for language teaching should be student, for the sake of understanding, interests, and their needs. Students are full of language and very excited to learn. Their ability to construct meaning is also special, so the teachers can easily become learners when dealing with students. Because the main language learning is a unity in reading, writing, and speech students who want to familiar with the world, then teachers need to become one with students, a delight to recognize life browsing, curious and like to wander.
Teaching language as such is an effort to involve students, who can not be treated solely as technical training, but need to link it with the feelings, interests, and their needs. Its success depends on the participation in a planned dialogue.
To that end, the first two hours every day at school should be devoted to language, and all day effort reasonable, considering the taste by putting students into main purposes. Because reading and writing are ways to find direction and meaning, beauty and intimacy of life that can create and build the lives of students. Only by teaching language correctly we help children get their rights as members of the human family.
