PELATIHAN CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION UNTUK PEMELAJAR BAHASA INGGRIS USIA DINI DI KALANGAN GURU MI AN-NUR

In supporting the realization of English as a foreign language learning to young learners, early childhood English teachers must be able to understand the needs of their students. They must have a thorough understanding of the development of young learners in effective lessons to meet student needs. MI An-Nur as a school that implements bilingual learning requires an increase in the ability of teachers in both English and pedagogical. Referring to this situation, English language training (classroom instructions) for teaching early childhood students is a solution to improve the competence of English teachers at MI An-Nur. The training was carried out through a number of teaching simulation activities involving 15 MI An-Nur teachers and lecturers of the Suryakancana University English Education Study Program. The training activities cover three stages, namely pre-activity, implementation of activities, and evaluation of activities. Through this training activity, MI An-Nur teachers gain better insight and skills about teaching English to early childhood students, especially regarding classroom instruction. Thus, it is expected that the teachers at MI An-Nur will be able to implement better English teaching for young learner.
