I do the apprenticeship programme as assistant teacher at Dwisakti
Elementary School because I love children and I want to be a teacher. Moreover,
I would like to apply what I have learnt in the D-III English Programme in teaching
and I would like to have a new experience in education field, especially in
teaching English to elementary school children.
Dwisakti Elementary School was established on 7 Januari 1972 and is
located at Jl. Laksmud Nurtanio no.58 Bandung. At first, there were just three
classes and 16 pupils. In 2000, Dwisakti Elementary School got a Private
Accreditation. In 2006 – 2007, there were 453 pupils studying in thirteen
classrooms with the present headmaster Mrs. Angela.
The requirements for applicants to be assistant teachers at Dwisakti
Elementary School are : have educational background minimum D-III graduates,
love children, disciplined. The applicants will teach English in a bilingual system,
so they are expected to have good English and Indonesian both spoken and
written.They have a freedom for selecting topics based on their own so they must
have a high creativity in making lesson plans.
I teach English to 4th grade students for 80 minutes every Thursday from
27 July 2006 until 7 September 2006. On the first week, I observe how the
English teacher teaches them so that I know how she teaches the lesson,
communicates with the students, and how the students respond to the teacher.
After I know the situation of the English teaching and learning process in the
class, I start to prepare lesson plans and materials needed for the next meeting.

In the class, before the lesson starts the students are given a clear
instruction for each exercise. It makes the students pay attention when the
material is being discussed in the class. Then, I explain all of the materials, write
notes and exercises from the handout on the blackboard, translate vocabularies
for the students, give exercises and check the students’ answers. When there is
still time at the end of the lesson, I explain the material of that day once again to
students who have not understood yet. During the lesson, I use both Indonesian
and English. Indonesian is used to assist students who have difficulty in
understanding the lesson in English.
These are the work domination :
•
•
•
•
Explaining all of the materials
Writing notes and exercises on the blackboard
Checking students’ answers
Creating review of the lesson with students
I find difficulties in managing some students who often disturb the class by
chatting loudly with their friends when I am teaching and in making the students
respond the lesson actively. Besides, I often pronounce English words incorrectly
that causes the students to repeat those words incorrectly too.
During the apprenticeship, speaking is the English skill that I use the
most. I use it for expressing greetings in the class, explaining the lesson,
answering all the questions from the students, spelling and pronouncing the
English words. I use listening skill for receiving questions from the students and
checking the students’ pronunciation in repeating and reading text. I use writing
skill for making lesson plans, and reading for studying the materials and checking
the students’ answers.

The subject from D–III English Programme which are useful in doing the
job are Speech in action which I use in speaking and pronouncing the English
words. I also use the grammar patterns that I get from Structure for HighBeginning Levels class to teach the students the basic patterns of English
grammar. I apply the ways of teaching the students from Teaching English to
Young Learners class which is important to make me able to use communicative
approach and to make an interactive communication with the students.
Technique for TEFL class gives me various techniques that I use in the class to
make the students be more enthusiastic in their study.
Based on my supervisor’s evaluation in doing the apprenticeship, I have
strength and weakness. I have strength in reading because I can comprehend a
passage effectively. I also have no difficulties in understanding daily
vocabularies. However, I have a weakness in managing some students and
pronouncing.
I conclude that the apprenticeship programme that I have just finished is
very useful for me. I have to check the English pronouncing dictionary before the
lesson, and I have to pronounce some words repeatedly. Accordingly, I get some
improvement in pronunciation. My speaking is also improved because I get used
to speaking English in the class. I get the skills and experience of teaching young
learners that will be beneficial when I enter the working field.
I would like to suggest for the teachers at Dwisakti Elementary School to
insert games or storytelling in the lesson plan to make the lesson more
interesting, and it will be better if the teacher speaks English more in class.

Moreover, it is better for Dwisakti Elementary School to complete their facilities
with a language laboratory and a library which provides books, cassettes, movies
and educational toys. These facilities would make learning English easier and
more interesting for kids. For D-III English Programme, I also suggest to provide
more apprenticeship places in order that the students will have more choices in
doing the apprenticeship.
