Abstract

In the context of increasingly globalized education and diverse learning resources, bilingual teaching strategies have gained attention as a way to support effective English instruction in elementary schools. This qualitative case study investigates how pre-service primary school teachers (PGSD students) apply bilingual strategies particularly translanguaging and code-switching during teaching practices. Data were collected through a systematic literature review (2020–2025) and semi-structured interviews with pre-service teachers. The literature shows that translanguaging and code-switching help improve comprehension, classroom engagement, and learner confidence. Interview data confirms that pre-service teachers intentionally use bilingual strategies to make learning more accessible and supportive. However, challenges such as limited bilingual teaching materials and student discomfort with English were reported. The study concludes that bilingual strategies, when applied thoughtfully and contextually, can contribute positively to English teaching in elementary settings; therefore, teacher education programs should include structured training on bilingual pedagogy.

Abstract

Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris tingkat sekolah dasar memiliki berbagai tantangan, terutama terkait pengucapan dan rendahnya motivasi belajar siswa. Khususnya di SD Muhammadiyah 25 Medan menunjukkan kondisi siswa kelas VI yang kurang berminat terhadap pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah kebingungan akibat perbedaan antara penulisan dan pengucapan dalam Bahasa Inggris. Siswa juga menganggap pelajaran ini kurang bermanfaat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Guru pernah menggunakan media pembelajaran seperti proyektor, namun hasilnya belum menunjukkan perubahan signifikan. Strategi dan media pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa perlu diterapkan agar proses belajar lebih efektif. Penggunaan fun games berbasis PowerPoint, pendekatan Total Physical Response (TPR), serta metode Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) menjadi alternatif yang dapat diterapkan. Ketiga pendekatan ini melibatkan aktivitas fisik dan pengulangan, sehingga membantu siswa mengingat dan memahami kosakata serta struktur kalimat secara lebih baik. Penerapan strategi tersebut berpotensi meningkatkan pemahaman, motivasi, dan partisipasi siswa.
