Communication is very important
for our life. We use languages for communicating
and talking to
each other every
day. Nowadays, we
do not need
only one language
but also we
need more than
one language for
our conversation. If we
master other languages
such as English language, we will
not find any problem when we meet
foreign tourists. As we know, English as
one of International languages is used by many countries all over the world as means
of communication.
In Indonesia,
English is still
difficult to learn
even though people acknowledge
it. Therefore, English
begins to be
introduced in Elementary Schools
because the young learners
are easy
to absorb and to memorize the foreign language
that they have
never gotten before.
By learning English language, the young learners will have ability
in speaking foreign language.
Teaching English
in Elementary Schools
focuses on English
as functional skills.
They are Listening,
Reading, Speaking and
Writing. The process
of teaching English
integrates two functional
skills, listening and reading
then speaking and writing. Listening and reading are receptive skills because
they focus on
receiving information from outside source.
Speaking and writing are
productive skills because they refer to produce information. Teaching English
in Elementary Schools
is not too
complex than teaching English in Junior High Schools,
because the materials in Elementary Schools are still general and not complicated.
As we know, the first until third grade
students focus on learning
vocabularies. In the fourth until sixth grade, there are some complicated materials that are
introduced such as descriptive text, simple past tense, and simple present
countinous tense.
Writing is one of skill in English lesson to express our thoughts by using
written text. Writing
is a combination
of process and
product. The process refers to act of gathering ideas and
the product is written text that can be
read by the reader.
Teaching writing in Elementary
Schools focuses simply on arranging vocabulary. The teachers think that if
students can understand the vocabulary they can write the sentences correctly.
Sometimes it is difficult for students to write.
For example the
students have difficulties
in memorizing the vocabularies and
sometimes they do
not know how
to translate Indonesian word into English word.
