Handling Two Kindergarten Children Who Had A Difficulty in Pronouncing English Words At High Scope Bandung.
ABSTRACT
Tugas Akhir ini membahas tentang masalah yang saya alami pada
saat saya magang di Sekolah High Scope di Jl. Dr. Sukimin No. 9,
Bandung. Masalah yang saya hadapi adalah menangani dua anak berusia
4 tahun di kelas TK A yang memiliki kesulitan dalam pelafalan kata-kata
dalam bahasa Inggris. Dalam bab pertama saya akan membahas alasan
saya memilih topik tersebut, hal-hal yang akan saya analisis, manfaat
yang didapat dari tugas akhir ini, sejarah Sekolah High Scope, serta
membahas subjek penelitian saya.
Saya menemukan beberapa penyebab dari masalah yang saya hadapi,
yaitu saya kurang memiliki pengalaman dalam menangani anak yang
kesulitan melafalkan kata-kata bahasa Inggris, dan yang terakhir kedua
anak tersebut kurang memiliki motivasi untuk belajar melafalkan kata-kata
dalam bahasa Inggris. Saya juga akan membahas beberapa akibat dari
masalah ini, yaitu mereka mudah marah dan emosi pada saat mereka
kesulitan melafalkan kata-kata tertentu dalam bahasa Inggris, dan adanya
kesalahpahaman antara saya dan mereka. Selanjutnya, saya juga akan
membahas beberapa solusi untuk masalah ini yaitu, saya akan mengajar
pelafalan bahasa Inggris melalui lagu, saya akan mengulang kembali
pelafalan kata-kata yang telah dipelajari, dan terakhir saya akan meminta
bantuan kepada orang tua agar mendorong anak-anak mereka untuk
belajar berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris di rumah. Namun, ketiga solusi ini
juga memiliki dampak positif dan negatif.
Di bab terakhir yaitu pada bab keempat berisi tentang kesimpulan dari
tugas akhir ini. Pada bab empat ini saya akan membahas mengenai solusi

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
English is an important language for everyone to communicate
with foreign people. Basically, one of the key points in learning
English is pronunciation, as Szynalski believes that “good
pronunciation should be one of the first things that you learn in
English …” (par. 5). Pronunciation is important for people especially
for children who learn English as a foreign language. Good
pronunciation in speaking will help them to communicate well with
others. Szynalski said that, “Pronunciation is definitely the biggest
thing that people notice when you are speaking English …” (par. 1).
Since pronunciation holds an important part in speaking English, it
is better to learn English pronunciation since we are young, so we
can get used to pronounce English words correctly. Therefore, I
chose pronunciation as the topic of my term paper based on my
internship.
I did my internship at High Scope, a school for preschool and
kindergarten children. The location is on Jl. Dr. Sukimin No. 9,
1
Maranatha Christian University
Cipaganti, Bandung, Jawa Barat. I did my internship as a teacher
assistant from 15 July until 26 August 2014. I handled fifteen
children from TK A in Yellow Room together with two teachers from
High Scope. I had to take care of the children and also helped
those teachers when the children learned about numbers,
alphabets, and many more. In High Scope I had to be able to
communicate with the teachers and children in English. However,
some of the children could not pronounce English words correctly.
So, I got this problem when I did my internship in High Scope.
Based on the above explanation, I had to deal with two 4 years
old kindergarten children who had a difficulty in pronouncing
English words, and they just started the school in this term in 15
July 2014. I felt confused when I communicated with them because
they could not speak English well, and they also made some
mistakes in pronouncing the English words. An example is when I
asked Noni, one of the children who had a difficulty in pronunciation
at my class, what the object in the picture was, she answered my
question that was a /pi:r/, but, actually the picture was a /peə/.
Another example is when I asked Khaleef, another child who had a
difficulty in pronunciation at my class, what he was making, he
answered my question that he made a /swa:rd/, I knew that actually
he meant /sɔːd/. At that time I knew those two children had bad
pronunciation in English, and that happened continually.

Maranatha Christian University
I got a difficulty in handling them because those children made
the same mistakes over and over again, therefore I decided to
correct their pronunciation. As a teacher assistant I had to help
them, so that their pronunciation in English would be better. I
choose this topic for my term paper because I would like to find out
the solutions to teach pronunciation to them, and it is very important
for their speaking skill, as Hewings said that “it can be frustrating
and demotivating for students if they have repeated experiences
where communication break down because of problems with their
English pronunciation”(10). I will analyze my problem in this term
paper including the causes, the effects, and the solutions to solve
my problem.
B. Identification of the Problem
The problem can be formulated in the following questions:
1. Why did I have a difficulty in handling two kindergarten children
in Yellow Room at High Scope who could not pronounce the
English words correctly?
2. How did this problem impact the children and I?
3. How should I overcome this problem?

Maranatha Christian University
C. Objectives and Benefits of the Study
The objectives of my study are to find out the causes, the effects,
and also the solutions for my problem. The benefits of my study for
the teachers in High Scope are they can learn how to handle the
children who have a bad pronunciation, they can get some ideas
how to teach the children pronunciation in fun way, and they can
make the children have better English skills, especially in speaking.
The benefit for the readers is they can know how to deal with the
children who have a bad pronunciation in English. Furthermore, for
me personally, I can learn how to handle and help the children in
pronouncing English words in the future.
D. Description of the Institution
Based on the brochure, High Scope School in Bandung was
established on 26 July 2006. High Scope is located on Jl. Dr.
Sukimin No. 9. According to High Scope Website, the vision of this

Scope Website: http://www.akupintar.info/sekolah/high-scopeindonesia-cipaganti-bandung-7347)
E. Method of the Study
I got the data for my study from my observation in High Scope
during my internship and from an interview with one of the teachers
in High Scope. Then, I found the data and theory from the electronic
resources and also from books. The data that I got were used to
analyze the causes, the effects, and the solutions of my problem.
F. Limitation of the Study
The subjects of my study are two 4 years old kindergarten children
in a class called Yellow Room, Noni and Khaleef, and I. The study
is based on my internship in High Scope Bandung as a teacher
assistant from 15 July until 26 August 2014.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
In this chapter I would like to discuss the chosen potential solutions for my
problem in handling two kindergarten children who had a difficulty in
pronouncing English words at High Scope Bandung. There are three causes
of my problem, they are the two children learned English as a foreign
language, I were lacking of experience in teaching pronunciation, and those
two children were lacking in motivation to learn pronunciation. Then, the
effects of my problem are those two children became emotional and they got
angry when they could not pronounce the words correctly, and there was a
misunderstanding between me and the children. There are three possible
potential solutions for this problem. The first potential solution is I will teach
pronunciation by using songs, the second potential solution is I will keep
repeating the correct English pronunciation to them, and the third is I will ask
help from their parents to encourage them to speak English more at home.
17
Maranatha Christian University
The best solutions for this problem are the combination of the two potential
solutions. By using all of those two potential solutions, the children can learn
pronunciation effectively. The first potential solution is using songs to teach
them pronunciation. They can learn pronunciation in fun and relaxed way by
singing a song. After that I will use my second potential solution that is
repeating the words day by day until they remember the correct way to
pronounce the words, so they can continue practicing their pronunciation at
school. On the other hand, I decided not to prefer the third potential solution
because there are possibilities of some parents who cannot speak and teach
English to their children. However, I cannot deny that there are some parents
who are able to speak and teach English well to their children. Therefore, I
did not put the third potential solution as the chosen solutions. But, I hope by
applying the first and second potential solutions, the children will be able to
learn pronunciation in English and their pronunciation will be improved.
I hope all of those potential solutions will be useful for the children and
also the teachers in learning pronunciation. The teacher in High Scope should
be more creative to find some songs or activities related to pronunciation for
the children. Therefore, I believe if the teachers use various ways to teach
them, they will be more interested to learn pronunciation. The children will
enjoy learning English more. I also believe the children in kindergarten must
learn in a fun way to master English pronunciation, so they will not easily get
stressed in learning time.
