Abstract

This study investigates the difficulties faced by fourth-grade students at SDN 060878 Krakatau Medan Timur in understanding English classroom instructions. The research identifies four main obstacles: limited vocabulary mastery, low confidence and motivation, less varied teaching strategies, and minimal English exposure outside school. The study also highlights effective teacher efforts such as repeating instructions, providing bilingual explanations, using demonstrations, and implementing interactive activities. These findings are expected to guide teachers in creating more adaptive and supportive instructional practices in elementary English learning.
