The People Behind The Establishment of English
Village
Mr.
Kalend Osen is the pioneer who develops English
course in Pare, Kediri. He was a comer from Kalimantan staying in pare. He was one
of students in Gontor Islamic Boarding School, Ponorogo before coming to Pare. Because he got financial problems, he could not continue his study in Gontor.
Then, Some of his
teachers and his friends advised him to
come to Pare, exactly in Darul Fallah, which is a Traditional Islamic Boarding
School led by Kyai Ahmad
Yazid bin Thohir who is able to use more than 10 foreign languages.
Kyai
Yazid was one of charismatic islamic leader in Pare. But the information
about him is very difficult to be obtained by me. Some people told to me that
he was one of the adviser and teacher of the first President of Indonesia, Ir.
Soekarno, especially when Soekarno was studying some languages. We know that
Soekarno was the polyglot or expert in using
some languages but we rarely know who is his teacher, except he ever learnt in
MULO and mingled with some Dutch people.
The
legacy of mr. Yazid which was famous to be known by the pare villagers is the
library in Darul Fallah. The library contained many book that was using more than 15 foreign languages, but it was very
apprehensive that the books was stolen and lost, so
the library had been closed since the last 1990’s.
Mr.
Kalend was being the best pupil taught by Yazid. He was given trust to change
the teacher’s position to teach some languages for other pupils. Especially
some students came to pare to learn english. Mr. Kalend attempted to develop
his method for teaching english. Mr. Kalend capability for teaching english was spread mouth by mouth from his pupils. So
more and more people came to him to learn
it. Finally, They opened english course named BEC (Basic English Course) by
using the
curriculum which is developed by himself, it was based on his experiences within
teaching english. This method is being basic curriculum of
teaching english which is common used in pare and it
is developed continuously.
Well, those are people behind the establishment of English Village where many people visit to learn English. Thank you for reading my post ๐๐
