Abstract

Abstract:  The aim of this Community Service program was to provide elementary school English teachers with knowledge, skills, and practical experience in the use of classroom English to support effective language teaching. The training involved 24 participants, consisting of 16 public school teachers and 8 private school teachers in Sleman Regency. The program was conducted in three stages: preparation and feedback sessions (held online) and the core workshop (held onsite at the Independent Language Learning Center, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta). The workshop successfully enhanced teachers’ understanding of the concept and importance of classroom English, as well as their ability to use simple and context-appropriate expressions and instructions in the classroom. Through microteaching simulations, role-play, and group discussions, participants gained not only theoretical insights but also practical experiences directly applicable to their teaching practice. The program is expected to foster long-term impact by encouraging consistent use of English as the medium of instruction as well as providing students on their language acquisition, thereby creating a more communicative classroom environment and supporting students’ English language development from the early stages of formal education.Abstrak: Tujuan dari kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini adalah untuk memberikan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan pengalaman praktis kepada guru terkait penggunaan classroom English dalam pengajaran Bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Dasar.

Abstract

This study examines the experiences of pre-service teachers during their practicum in primary schools, especially how they designed and delivered English for Children (EFC) programs. It focuses on how they planned lessons, organized their classes, reflected on their teaching experiences, and highlighted the challenges and opportunities that arose. Twenty-two students participated, distributed among five different primary schools. The data were collected through Focus Group Discussions and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. The analysis is based on the thematic analysis method of Braun and Clarke (2006). The findings show that many pre-service teachers lack self-confidence, struggle in dealing with young learners, and have problems with effective communication. However, these challenges also offered growth opportunities. Over the course of the practicum, they gradually acquired 21st-century skills such as collaboration, creativity, adaptability, and effective communication. The experience deepened their understanding of teaching English to children and made them realize the importance of reflecting on what they learned in class. In short, although the teaching practice can be challenging, this study shows that it is an important opportunity for future teachers to improve their skills, become flexible, and develop into reflective educators.Keywords: 21st century skills, descriptive qualitative study, English for children, pre-service teachers, thematic analysis
