THE EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO CHILDREN AT EA GUIDENCE LEARNING

Abstract

Learning English for children is an interesting and challenging task because children's language skills develop rapidly during the golden age, making it easier for parents and educators to teach children English. Learning strategies that allow students to actively participate in the learning process are considered to support constructivism. Because English is the first foreign language in Indonesia, the learning process will be carried out in stages. This research uses qualitative research and a phenomenological approach. The research subjects were class teachers and children. The research results show that teachers choose interesting strategies when learning in the classroom. The strategies used are very interesting, namely learning through games, learning using a visual approach, reading English books, encouraging children to speak English, and cheerful English music and songs.
