CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions
From the discussion in the previous chapter, the writer draws a conclusion as
follows:
1. Activities in English teaching and learning process must pay attention in
developing the four skills; they are listening, reading, speaking and writing. Those
skills are supported by vocabulary knowledge. In order to master English,
students should memorize a lot of vocabulary so they could easily understand the
meaning of words. Teaching in Elementary School, especially teaching English to
the students is not only focused in explaining the materials but also to educate
them to be civilized, to form positive behaviour and attitudes. Teaching English to
the fourth grade students was conducted using grammar translation method,
considering that this is the first time they receive English as a lesson. Imitation,
mime expressions, texts, pictures, realia objects, and games were used to deliver
the material fun and make the students interested in learning English.
2. There were problems in teaching English, those problems were categorized as
linguistic problem and non-linguistic problems.
a. Linguistic Problem
Pronouncing the vocabulary became the major problem faced by the students.
They found that English have different pronunciation and sound from
Javanese and Bahasa Indonesia, the students’ native and second language.
