English is known as an international
language. It is learned in various countries, and also in Indonesia to follow
the development of technology. In Indonesia, English is introduced to student
at the fourth grade of elementary school. However, recently English is also
begun to be introduced in the playgroup. Playgroup’s students are children
around 3-4 years old. Their emotion is still unstable. Therefore, introducing
English for playgroup’s student has to use a specific method. However, introducing
English in the playgroup is not difficult if English is taught in a fun way. If
the lessons are taught in the fun way, the children can be more enjoyable in
learning. There are a lot of easy ways that can be used to introduce English in
playgroup students.
To introduce English, the first thing that we have to do is
to provide some simple and familiar words. Simple and familiar words mean the
words are already known by them. If the words are familiar for them, it is
easier for them to understand. For example we can give numbers such as “one”, “two”
etc; letters such as “A [ei]”, “B [bi]” etc; colors like “red”, “green” etc; or
greetings. Secondly, if the more
difficult words are given, it is better to introduce the words that are
associated with them and their environment around them. They will find it easier
because they can find those words around their life. For example, vocabularies
about "profession" are given. So, we can give them some words like
"teacher", "police" or "farmer". By introducing
simple words associated with the environment around them, then they will more
easily memorize the words.
The words that already introduced might
be forgotten by them. Therefore, we can make them memorize the words by fun
teaching. The most important thing
is we have to use a fun way. If the interesting way is used, they will not get
bored. For example, the vocabularies such us numbers, letters and colors, we
can make it into a song. Through the song, they will not aware that they do
memorize. For example is alphabets song. Beside that, they will not get bored
even if it is repeated every day. The
least important thing is memorizing by repeating. The repetition can be
given with practice every day or ask some question to the students. For
example, students are accustomed to saying "good morning" to the
teacher every morning at school. Otherwise we can ask a question about English
such as “what is biru in English?”
before they go home. In brief, by repeating the words and making fun lesson, we
can make the children memorize words in English faster and easier.
Beside the method, we must also pay attention
to the setting of place too, especially for the classroom. We have to make the
classroom more comfortable as well. The students’ seats are placed in the middle of the class. We also can
place many kinds of object in the classroom. For example, we can put some
picture such as fruit or animal pictures in
the left side. Then, the blackboard, that the teacher used to explain
something, is in the front of the
class. A few steps in the right side,
we can put a whiteboard that can be used to stick some of the students’ works.
A cupboard that saves some toys and various beams is placed one meter behind the students’ seat on the
back side of the class. All of the objects can be the stimulus for the
children. With using some objects, it can attract students’ attention. Then,
they will be more concern to the lesson.
By joining the best method and setting
of place can make the effort of introducing English to the playgroup student
becomes easier. It indicates that introducing English to the playgroup students
is not difficult. We can begin by introducing simple or familiar words and also
some words which are associated with their environment. However, sometimes
students are not interested in learning English. So, the lesson must be given
in a fun way. Many kinds of object can be used for the lesson to make it become
easier to understand and memorize. For teachers and parents who want to
introduce English to the children from an early age, create a pleasant
atmosphere while learning. In addition, you should never force your children if
they do not want. It will be better to let them learn by their own will.
