ABSTRACT
This final project report is written based on the apprenticeship program conducted at SD Kristen Widya Wacana X Kartasura for one month. The objective of this report is to describe the techniques which are used in teaching English vocabulary about proffesion to the Grade 2 students.
During the apprenticeship program, I did an observation to gain information from the school. I also did a discussion with the English teacher to know the teaching and learning process and the material that should be given. Then, I made a lesson plan before starting to teach English vocabulary about Proffesion to the Grade 2 students.
There are two techniques used to teach the English vocabulary about proffesion to the Grade 2 students: using pictures and using gesture. There are some problems found during the process of teaching and learning English vocabulary. Those problem are the students’ difficulty in pronouncing the vocabulary, the students’ difficulty in memorizing vocabulary, and the students’ difficulty in writing vocabulary. There are also the other problem such as limited time and low students motivation in learning. To solve the students difficulty in pronouncing, memorizing, and writing the vocabulary, I pronounced the vocabulary repeatedly and also asked the students to write the vocabulary on their book in several times. To solve the problem of time, I made an activity that could be done in a short time. I also gave the students some prizes to increase the motivation in learning.
