Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the elementary school teachers’ techniques in
teaching English to young learners. The research participants were two elementary
school English teachers in Salatiga. The data were collected using classroom
observation and a semi-structured interview which allows the participants to share
their thought and experiences in English teaching and learning for young learners.
The finding revealed that all of the teachers preferred to use pictures and
pronunciation drill as it was easier for them to introduce vocabulary and check the
students’ written and spoken abilities.
