g. They have a developed sense of fairness
Wendy and Lisbeth, 1990; 3 Teaching English to young learners is different from teaching English
to secondary level or to adults, because young learners are active learners and have high movement, but it is the best time to touch new language for young learners.
Young learners like to play with language. They like to know more about everything
new in their surrounding. According to Wendy and Lisbeth in their book Teaching English to Children
state that ”Young children love to play and learn best when they
are enjoying them selves, but they also take them selves seriously and like to think that what they are doing in real work.” It means that in teaching process teacher must
deliver the knowledge clearly based on the learners’ situation and condition at time.
D. Method of Language Teaching
According to Jack C Richards and Theodore S Rodgers in their book
Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching
, “Methods is overall plan for the orderly presentation of language material, no part of which contradicts and all of
which is based upon the selected approach. ” Richards and Rogers, 1998; 3
According Richards and Rodgers there are nine kinds of language teaching methodology, they are;
1 Grammar Translation Methods
11
The goal of foreign language study is to learn a language in order to benefit from the mental discipline and intellectual development
that result from foreign language study. Reading and writing are the major focus.
Vocabulary selections are rarely used. The sentences are the basic unit of teaching and language practice.
It is method for which there is no theory. Accuracy is emphasized and grammar is taught deductively.
2 Direct methods
Classroom instruction was conducted exclusively in the target language.
Oral communication skills were built up in question-answer communication.
Concrete vocabulary was taught demonstration, object and pictures.
Both speech and listening comprehension were taught. Correct pronunciation and grammar were emphasized.
From the explanation above we can conclude that the suitable method which is used to teach the 5
th
grade students of elementary school is the grammar translation methods, because this method uses the mother tongue to deliver the
12
materials. Using the mother tongue will be helpful for the students to comprehend the English subject, because English is a new language for them.
