Abstract

Since the implementation of the decentralization policy in education management in 2001, many local governments (PEMDAs) have decided to teach English as a local content (Mulok) at the elementary school level (or even in kindergarten). This local government initiative is problematic because the implementation of this mulok is not accompanied by special efforts to prepare some important aspects such as English teachers to teach in elementary schools and some supporting facilities. This research was conducted within 2 months (from January - February 2022). They were an English teacher at MI Tahfidz Nurul Huda Japuralor and some students of MI Tahfidz Nurul Huda Japuralor. The subjects were selected using Purposive Sampling techniques. This article discusses an overview of teaching English to children in MI Tahfidz Nurul Huda Japuralor, teachers’ perception toward teaching English to Young Learners, and Parents’ persepectives on learning English.

That skill is taught to students in order to be able to use English in real communication. The quality of a person's communication depends on the quantity and quality of the use of grammar. Besides being able to understand of grammar, learning motivation is also very important. Students who have high learning motivation are very influential on high speaking ability. Otherwise, students who have low motivation have an effect on low speaking ability. Therefore, those factors are common problems faced by students where the students are not actively engaged in a speaking activity. And that happened to students of class XI at SMAN 1 Losarang and SMAN 1 Kandanghaur, Indramayu district.

Abstract ___________________________________________________________________ The dominance of technology in everyday life emphasizes the importance of digital literacy for people all over the world. Demand for digital literacy integration penetrates all aspects, including the teaching and learning process in Indonesia. Many researchers have already explored digital literacy in the classroom and observed it in English classroom-based learning. However, to depict more what factors are needed to develop digital literacy in online EFL classes are not many, mainly in the Indonesian context. To investigate the case, this study employed a qualitative case study approach using the following instruments; a semi-structured interview with a knowledgeable English teacher in utilizing technology, online classroom observation, and documentation. The data were then analyzed, interpreted, and presented using descriptive explanation. First, it was found that students used various digital tools and performed several digital literacy elements (cultural, cognitive, communicative, and critical) in English online learning. Nevertheless, the lack of technology sources and students' readiness in utilizing technology are regarded as barriers to implement digital literacy in practice. Second, to develop digital literacy in English online learning, students are required to use various digital tools and to recognize a variety of features across digital tools, communicate appropriately with teachers and classmates through digital tools, as well as use technology to evaluate information. So, the guidance from the teacher regarding aspects of digital literacy, and students' involvement in multiple digital environments are considered as the needs of students to develop digital literacy in the 21st century.

Abstract

Based on the results of initial observations, student learning outcomes in English subjects are still not optimal. This can be seen from the acquisition of an average student score of 67, which is still below the predetermined KKM of 70. This problem tends to be influenced by the lack of learning motivation that students have during the learning process, which has an impact on learning English outcomes. This research uses mixed methods. There are 2 types of data analysis tests, simple correlation tests, and descriptive analysis. Based on the results of research and discussion, the conclusions of this study are as follows. 1) The learning motivation of the tenth graders of SMAN 2 Sungai Lilin is good. This is evident from the acquisition of an assessment score of 80.21% in English learning motivation, which is in the good category. Thus, students' motivation in learning English has increased and is categorized as "good," because students' motivation must always be improved so that the learning objectives in each teaching and learning activity are achieved optimally. 2) Student learning outcomes in English lessons in this study are only limited to the cognitive and psychomotor domains, which include knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, and synthesis by emphasizing the aspects of knowledge and understanding that are adjusted to the level of development of the research subject students and motor skills and manipulation of materials or objects. 3) The effect of student learning motivation on student learning outcomes in class X SMAN 2 Sungai Lilin based on the calculation results obtained t-count of 0.821 and t-table of 0.320 at 0.50 and dk = (n-2) = (40-2) = 38. Thus, t-count (0.821) > t-table (0.320), then the hypothesis is accepted. This shows that "student learning motivation affects English learning outcomes.
