CHAPTER I BACKGROUND OF THE ACTIVITY
We chose SDN 3 Kendal for media applications that we have planned. We chose
SDN 3 Kendal because this school is a school that is located in the countryside and in our
rural school teachers in the way of teaching is passive and not creative. In addition, there is
less use of media in teaching and learning English. And usually the teacher still tends to
use the lecture method to teach. So that, learning process becomes monotonous and does
not attract the attention of students. This makes students bored and tired of the learning
process. Because bored and tired, when the teacher explains a little matter of those who
listen, there are some lively own, play, and some even fall asleep. This factor is due to the
teachers who teach English in a school classroom teacher who teaches all subjects, so
lacking in mastery of the English language. Besides the lack of facilities for supporting
medium, teaching and learning process is still lacking.
We use the media so that students do not get bored and more interested in learning
English. Due to the rural students in learning English is a difficult subject and this is
usually a difficult subject makes students bored quickly. Moreover, students in this school
was introduced English from low-grade (grade 1). And usually lower class students are still
reluctant to learn, let alone to learn a foreign language such as English. They are more
often using his spare time to play than on learning. So that teachers should be more clever
and creative that the material presented is more easily remembered by his students not only
in school, but also the spirit in the home to learn it again.
According to us, students include middle category. This is because, when students
described the material without the use of the media, they are less notice, however, when
they are described by using the media, their morale was higher in the study. So that,
students understand the material described by the teacher quickly. In addition, students are
taught lessons in rural schools and they just feel lazy to tutoring (extra lessons). That is
why we chose this school to apply the media in the process of learning English so that
students are more interested and not bored to learn English. By using the media, students
will understand the lesson faster. Besides that, the interaction between students and
teachers will be established well and not monotonous.

CHAPTER II RESULT
Setting of Place:
Name of school : SDN 3 Kendal
Address : Jalan Jogorogo, No. 7, Kendal, Ngawi, East Java
We practice to teach English for young learner with media in SDN 3 Kendal,
Ngawi. We practice to teach the fourth grade students. In this class, there are just eleven
students, and one of them is absent.
Material:
- Part of Body
We teach part of body to the students. We teach the names of body parts, how to pronounce them, and the meaning of the names of body parts (by show their own body parts).
Activity:
- Listen and do
- Listen and repeat
- What is missing game
- Drawing
- Reading text
- Matching
Media :
Electronic media : animation video/ song “Head shoulder knees and toe”
Traditional media : picture and drawing
Tool : laptop, speaker, boardmarker
Teaching Procedures:
1) Opening activity
In the opening activity, we greet the students and introduce ourselves to them.
Lia Suparni as the first teacher also asks the students’ name. They mention their
name shyly. After that, the students lead to pray together. Then we show an
animation video. It is a song about part of body, titled, “Head Shoulder Knees and
Toe”. The teacher gives example to sing the song and practice it. Then the students
3
appreciate to imitate the teacher. They imitate the song and touch their body when
sing it. For example, when they say head, they touch their head, when they say
“shoulder” they touch their shoulder, etc. After that, the teacher asks what the song
tells about. The students answer that the song tells about part of body.
2) Main activity
The first main activity is listen and do. Before the teachers do this activity, the
teacher explains and mentions the parts of body. The teacher says that there are so
many parts of body, but that day, the teacher will explain some of them. There are
head, shoulder, hair, nose, mouth, cheek, chin, hand, foot, arm, finger, eyes, ears and
etc. Then the teacher practices listen and do activity. The teacher asks the student to
stand up and then says some parts of body, the students listen it and then touch their
parts of body. For example, the teacher say head, the students have to touch head,
etc. In this activity, there are still many students that can’t do it well. They still feel
difficult to differentiate the names of body part, such as they confused to differentiate
between foot and toe, hand and finger. They also seem lack of vocabulary. They
don’t know what the meaning of toe, foot, hand, etc. Therefore, in this activity there
are many students don’t do this activity well, they wrong to touch the exact parts of
body. When there’s student wrong, the teacher asks him/her to sing “Head Shoulder
Knees and Toes” in front of the class. We take this as punishment that can make the
class fun.
The second activity is listen and repeat. The teacher uses some pictures to do this
game. The picture is like flash card but in a big size, there is a picture of body parts
and the names of body parts. The teacher uses this picture to teach how to pronounce
the body parts well. The teacher show the picture and read the names of body part in
the picture, the students listen it and then repeat what the teacher say. For example
the teacher say “head” [hed], then the students repeat it. The teacher, first, asks the
students to repeat in a whole of class, then in some groups, and the last, individual.
The students seemed interest to join this activity. They repeat after the teacher
seriously.
The third activity is what is missing game. This activity is conveyed by Siti
Purwaningsih, as the second teacher. Before the class brought to this activity, the
4
class is divided into 3 groups. Two groups consist of three students, and the rest
consist of four students. The teacher prepares a drawing and patches it in the
whiteboard. Before the teac her give the rules of the game, the teacher reviews what
the parts of body are. Then the teacher asks the students to remember all of the body
parts in the drawing. The teachers explain the rules of the games. The teachers say
that she will ask the students to close their eyes, then the teacher will take/ remove
one part of the body in the drawing. After that the teacher asks the students to open
their eyes and look at the drawing. The students have to discuss with their friends to
guess what miss in the drawing. When the teacher say “What is missing”, the
students who can answer have to raise their hand and say “The missing is.....”. The
groups who can raise the hand first and answer correctly will get reward.
After explain the rules of the games, the teacher give example by remove the
eyes of the drawing. At first, the teacher removes the nose, and the second group can
answer it. Then, the teacher removes the mouth, the first group can answer it. And
the last, the teacher removes the ears and the last group can answer it. In this activity
all of the students seems interest to the games. They can guess all of the missing
parts of body.
The fourth activity is drawing. The teacher makes this activity as a game. If the
previous activity, they play what is missing game in group work, now they play
drawing in the same group. In this game, the teacher gives some clues to the
students, then they must draw the clues in a sheet of paper. The clues are simple, like
“I have a big head, I have a nose, I have two eyes”, etc. After the teacher reads the
clues, the students looked discuss with their groups and then draw the clues in the
paper. All of the students seemed interest in this game, they enjoy draw the clues.
The next activity is reading text. This activity is conveyed by Suryani, as the
third teacher. In this activity, the students asked to read a text. The text is not like
usual text. The text consists of text and picture. For example “I have two . I see
with my . This text constructed to increase the students’ ability to read and
understanding the parts of body. The teacher uses reading aloud as the method to
read this kind of text. The teacher asks the student one by one to read aloud this text,
5
one student has at least 1-2 sentences to be read. When read this text, the students
seemed enjoy because they said that they never read this kind of text.
The last activity in the main activity is matching assessment. The teacher
prepares an assessment of matching. The students have to match between the picture
and the names of body parts. This assessment is given to test the students’
understanding of the material. The teacher gives about 5-7 minutes to the students do
this assessment. The students actually know the teacher’s instruction, but they
seemed difficult to match the pictures and the names of body parts. We think it is
because they forget the names of body parts.
3) Closing activity
In the closing activity, the teacher reviews the material. The teacher asks the
students what they learn today and asks to students to mention some names of body
parts. Then, the teacher asks the students difficulty of the material. The students said
that they still difficult to remember the names of body parts in English. The teacher
gives a suggestion that they have to study more about English. The students also ask
the teachers to come again in their school. It proves that they enjoy and interest with
the material we conveyed. In the last, the teachers take leave to the students and end
the teaching and learning process.

CHAPTER III DISCUSSION
In teaching English to young learners, it is important that the English teachers use
media or realia in delivering the materials in order that the students are able to understand
easily. Piaget (1991: 256) states that children in primary or elementary school are usually
in what is called the concrete operational stage of cognitive development. This means that
they learn through hands–on experiences and through manipulation of objects in the
environment.
Using media as a means of teaching English to young learners can helps the teachers
create classroom situations to be more alive. The media also help the teachers render
materials and help the students comprehend the given materials. In place of reading, we
can use flash cards, pictures, and various objects and realia to make the classroom come
alive and resemble more closely the outside world. Use of these tools can free the teacher
to be more the observer and facilitator and free the children to learn to use the language
and learn to love the potentially fabulous experience of being able to communicate in
another language to other people from around our vast word (Abe, 1991: 266-267).
The English teachers of young learners should design a variety of activity because
young learners have little attention span. Therefore, the activities should be designed to
capture children’s immediate interest and the teacher needs to be animated, lively, and
enthusiastic about the subject matter. According to Brown (2001: 87-90), children have
short attention spans, it is quite useful to make lessons become interesting, lively, and fun.
Furthermore, Brown (2001: 87-90) stated that children are often innovative. They are
extremely sensitive. Therefore, the English teachers should help their students to laugh
with (not laugh at) each other at various mistakes that they all make. For example, the
students who make a mistake, the teacher asks them to sing a song in front of the class.
Most of the students usually like sing a song, the song make the students fun, happy,
interest, and relax. This situation is suitable in learning process, the students more easy to
accept the material. Song can improve their vocabulary, they can find new vocabulary
from the song. According to Clark (2007), songs are considered as an effective tool in
pedagogy as they create a relaxed atmosphere in which learners respond positively to the
process of teaching. Meanwhile, Booth (2001) believes that children can be introduced to
7
new vocabulary, word patterns, word sequences, and phonemes through repetitions in
songs.
From our observation there are some positive thing when teach english to young
learner with media :
The Headmaster and teacher welcome to our attending in their school. Because
we have innovation to teach young learner with media. They appreciate us
because the english learning is monotonous in there.
The students very excite with our learning process because they never taught
english with media
The student very active with our learning process
Beside positive thing, there are negative thing when teach english to young learner :
Some of the students difficult to accept the material
Facility in that school is minim
From our observation there are some problems when teach english to young learner
with media :
The english ability of the students is less
In the learning process the students make noise
Facilty in that school is minim

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
Conclusion
From the result and discussion of this paper, we can conclude that:
1) In learning English to young learner, the students feel bored, not interest to the
material, and become passive if the teacher just explains the material without using
media or other interest activities.
2) The students of SDN Kendal 3 have high motivation to learn English when the
teacher uses media.
3) The use of electronic and traditional media makes the students easy to understand
the material.
4) The use of a lot of activities makes the students enjoy and not feel bored easily in
the learning activity.
Suggestion
After observe to teach English for young learner with media,we suggest:
1) In teaching English for young learner, we should use media to support our material.
The media can be traditional such as picture or drawing, or it can be electronic
media such as song,or animated video.
2) We should make various interest activities to teach them, because they have little
span attention and feel bored easy. The activities can be games, or other fun
activities.
3) If there are students who have mistakes, the teacher should punish them in interest
and educated way. For example, the teacher can punish them to sing in front of the
class. Therefore, they will enjoy and not make them afraid when they answer the
question from teacher again.
