Moreover, this article explains the implementation of English songs used in listening learning for eighth grade students and the difficulties faced by teachers when teaching English in listening classes at junior high school. The study used a qualitative descriptive method. The subject of the research is the teacher. The methods of data collection were interviews and observation. The result of this study indicates that the teacher in implementing teaching listening used three stages such as Pre-Listening, While Listening, and Posst Listening, and that the difficulties that the teacher had were internal and external factors. The findings show that English teachers are very proficient in implementing English songs in teaching synchronous listening skills through Zoom Cloud Software at the junior high school level, both verbally and nonverbally. However, teachers also experience difficulties both internally, such as students who lack English vocabulary, and externally, such as the difficulty of internet connection, which often occurs.

Abstract

This article discusses policies governing the English curriculum in Indonesian primary schools. English, as local content or as an extracurricular subject delegated to each school, creates inequality in primary school education as some primary schools offer English learning and many do not, for various reasons such as a lack of qualified human resources at TEYL, or insufficient facilities. This ambivalence eventually creates problems at the primary education level, including a lack of clarity regarding careers for English teachers in primary schools. This results in a limit on the number of tertiary institutions that provide English-teaching education for EYL, so that primary schools in turn employ classroom teachers who have no credentials to teach English in the classroom. This ambivalence would not have occurred if the government had made a firm decision on the existence of English as a subject in Indonesian primary schools. Therefore, the authors of this article make an argument for the importance of mastering English as an international language (EIL) for young learners in non-English-speaking countries, especially in this era of rapid technological development. This article suggests that the government should immediately establish a clear policy regarding the status of English as a primary school subject, and that the curriculum policy in primary schools should no longer designate English as a local content or extracurricular subject, but rather as a compulsory subject which automatically adjusts learning outcomes based on student demographic characteristics. The implication of this article is that English lessons can be taught to all young learners through an eclectic approach.Keywords: English as an international language; Government policy; Indonesian setting; teaching English to young learners

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of incorporating guessing games as an English learning strategy, specifically focusing on improving students' speaking skills. Many students face challenges in speaking English due to perceiving it as a difficult language to learn, resulting in a lack of mastery. To address this issue, a quantitative approach was employed, involving a sample of 33 students from an eighth-grade class at SMPN 2 Gempol. Data collection included a pre-test and post-test, with the analysis conducted using the T-paired Test. The results revealed that the t-test value (16.369) exceeded the critical t-table value (2.036). Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted, indicating a significant positive impact of guessing games on English speaking skills. The findings suggest that teachers can effectively utilize guessing games as an engaging instructional tool to enhance students' proficiency in spoken English. Highlights: Utilizing guessing games as an instructional strategy for English learning. Assessing the effectiveness of guessing games on students' speaking skills. Significant positive impact of guessing games on English speaking proficiency. Keywords: Guessing games, English learning, Speaking skills, Quantitative method, Secondary school

Abstract

This scientific article aims to investigate the integration of EdPuzzle media in teaching modules developed by high school English teachers following the Kurikulum Merdeka (KM) framework. Using document analysis, 16 EdPuzzle-integrated teaching module documents were qualitatively examined to understand teachers' preferences in selecting materials, methods, models, and assessments. The findings reveal that teachers successfully developed modules aligned with learning objectives and KM characteristics, incorporating EdPuzzle as both teaching material and assessment method. The study indicates a preference for narrative text topics, blended-learning models, and discussion methods. Writing skills were predominantly assessed using short-answer techniques, with EdPuzzle media mainly utilized for learning material rather than assessment. The implications suggest the need for teachers to diversify learning approaches, explore innovative techniques, and integrate technology effectively for an enhanced English Language Teaching experience. Highlight: The study explores the integration of EdPuzzle media in teaching modules within the context of Kurikulum Merdeka. High school English teachers successfully adapt teaching modules to align with learning objectives and KM characteristics. The majority of teachers utilize EdPuzzle both as learning material and as an assessment method, particularly in the context of narrative text topics.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to discover some external factors that influence the difficulties of teaching and learning English in rural schools for young learners. To obtain detailed data or information, data was collected in this study through observation and interviews using a qualitative research method and a type of case study. The research was conducted at an Al Fatch elementary school in the Silo sub-district of Jember Regency, East Java. The findings revealed that several external factors influence the difficulty of teaching and learning English for young students in rural schools, including 1) the school's location is far from urban areas, making it difficult for the community to reach it; 2) inadequate school infrastructure; 3) inadequate school facilities cannot support the continuity of the English teaching and learning process; 4) a lack of learning resources for students and teachers; 5) the language barrier, which is influenced by the community surrounding the school, which speaks the local language more frequently, makes it difficult for students to understand Indonesian as a medium of instruction in the teaching process.
