Teachers must implement in the teaching and learning in the class. Educators in Indonesian language subjects, especially in regions and corners of the country (remote area), still cannot and try to do much, have not tried experimenting with various possible tips, techniques, methods, strategies and learning models. Learning Indonesian especially in the aspect of speaking skills prioritizes providing information about speaking techniques and strategies and very little time is spent on practicing speaking skills.
