Abstract

Karl Popper's falsification epistemology theory that all science develops through conjectures and refutations have enormous implications for education, especially in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). TEFL to young learners is a challenge for pre-service teachers in non-home English countries. They should prepare to teach English while they also use English as a foreign language. Pre-service teachers focused on mastering language skills, whereas many preparatory processes they have to ensure before they take into the English teaching profession. Therefore, in this article, the authors assert that pre-service teachers should master linguistics proficiency, pedagogy knowledge, and literature as the means used in teaching English. Some theories and research findings have been discussed in teaching English to EFL children. However, the scope of discussion on pre-service teachers' preparation is fragmented among the uses of language skill and teaching discipline. Even they rarely explain how to teach language in a fun way through literary works. With a comprehensive literature review method, this article focuses more on conveying the author's ideas and thoughts discussing EFL pre-service teachers' preparation in teaching English to young learners with the Popperian approach. The popperian approach is considered to be more dynamic and open to ideas and opinions on policies in various fields, one of which is education.

The accounting system for sales and cash receipts operated at PT Indomarco Prismatama is used to improve internal control over revenue at PT Indomarco Prismatama in Sidoarjo branch offices. This accounting system is carried out to minimize errors and fraud in the process of selling and receiving cash, because there are executors in the field who deliberately cheat in carrying out their duties, but there are also executors who make mistakes but they do not intentionally or have no intention. The error is due to a procedure that was not executed. Therefore, the existence of an accounting system will be able to support the performance of employees in carrying out their duties properly.

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 article discusses how to participate in Teaching campus programs and implementing English conversation programs in rural areas. Because, English is one of the subjects considered difficult by elementary school students, especially in rural areas. This research was conducted at elementary school in Tulungagung, East Java which is a rural area. This study also uses the self-study method, in which data are taken from observations and interviews with English teachers in schools to find out the difficulties or challenges in teaching and learning in rural schools, Therefore, the self-study researcher is not the self who does the research, but rather the self being studied, not that the self is the only focus. This progression in self-study characterizes teaching as well. So after that, the author compiled this conversation program. The method used in the implementation of this conversation program uses the appropriate TPR (Total Physical Response) method to support challenges or difficulties in teaching and learning. This program is carried out once every 2 weeks and is only attended by class 5. And to find out the improvement of students after joining this program, the author gives a quiz or post-test. When this activity was carried out the students were very enthusiastic and understood the questions that I gave, many improvements were obtained by them such as word pronunciation, pronunciation, word spelling, vocabulary knowledge, writing words, etc.
