Abstract

This study aims to explore the experiences and strategies employed by English teachers in teaching vocabulary to young learners at an elementary school in Bandung. The research focuses on how teachers implement vocabulary teaching techniques, the types of media and materials they use, and the challenges they face during instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, and document analysis involving two English teachers at a private elementary school The findings reveal that both teachers apply a combination of interactive and varied techniques including games, storytelling, flashcards (physical and digital), and smartboard usage to engage students actively in vocabulary acquisition. The multisensory approach and incorporation of diverse media proved effective in increasing student motivation, participation, and retention of vocabulary. However, challenges such as classroom management and sustaining student attention were evident, highlighting the need for continuous professional development and supportive institutional frameworks. This study underscores that comprehensive vocabulary instruction combining multiple strategies and media can enhance young learners’ English vocabulary mastery and suggests schools invest in teacher training and adequate teaching resources to improve the quality of elementary English education

Abstract

This study aims to determine English Language Education students' perceptions of the teaching profession and the Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG), and their influence on their interest in becoming professional teachers, using the Social Cognitive Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior as theoretical frameworks. This research uses a quantitative method with an ex post facto associative-causal design. Data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale, then analyzed using multiple linear regression and Pearson correlation analysis with the help of SPSS 25. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the majority of respondents have a high perception of the teaching profession (69%), a moderate perception of the PPG (76%), and a moderate interest in becoming professional teachers (60%). The results of the partial t-test show that perception of the teaching profession (t = 2.279; p = 0.025) and perception of the PPG (t = 2.910; p = 0.005) significantly influence interest in becoming a professional teacher. The simultaneous ANOVA test (F = 32.321; p < 0.001) confirms that both variables have a significant effect, with a coefficient of determination value of R² = 0.432. This means these two perceptions can explain 43.2% of the variance in interest in becoming a professional teacher.
