Abstract

Non-native English learners need time to learn English language since they just heard without knowing how to pronounce it correctly. This condition occurs in common Primary Schools because the students do not have foreign language background, at school as well as at home. The hidden curriculum focusing on students’ soft skills are not well administered as the school managements think that what they have to do in running the academic atmosphere is teaching well for their students. The first step in teaching English for young learners especially those who are non-native English learners is introducing English by getting to know it. Piaget’s child’s development contributes in helping teachers to know their student’s growth physically and mentally in order to help them learn better while they play different teacher’s roles. Piaget proves that cognitivism gives insight that is children’s develop through stages since they were born. First graders at their age is on the stage called preoperational with one of characteristics that is language development with the goal to create symbolic thought. One way to achieve this goal is by teaching alphabet for first graders.

Abstract

Teaching media becomes one of the problems faced by teachers in teaching English as a foreign language for young learners. The use of appropriate teaching media is essential for teachers to be successful. This study aims to discuss the contribution of flash cards in introducing English vocabularies to the first graders of SDN Brumbungan Semarang. The model of Classroom Action Research by as proposed Kemmis and McTaggart was applied in two cycles and the data were analyzed qualitatively by involving data reduction, data categorization, data synthesis, and stating action hypothesis. The findings show that flash cards can motivate students, help students in remembering vocabulary, and helping teachers in introducing English specific vocabularies more easily. It can be shown that students who were participating in the activities were active, responsive, confident, enthusiastic, and enjoying the learning process. It can be concluded that teaching media used for young learners is really helpful in introducing English. However, teachers should understand the students’ level and have innovations in creating variations in learning activities using teaching media. Keywords: classroom action research, flash cards, English vocabulary, young learners
