Abstract

Memperkuat Sejak tahun 2016, SD Islam Al Azhar 29 BSB Semarang merintis pengajaran bilingual (yaitu, pengajaran dalam dua bahasa, Bahasa Indonesia dan Bahasa Inggris) untuk mata pelajaran Matematika dan IPA. Tantangan utama program ini adalah kompetensi guru dalam berbahasa Inggris. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan pelatihan peningkatan kemampuan guru berbahasa Inggris, khususnya Speaking English for Instructional Purposes. Pelatihan yang bertujuan untuk mempersiapkan penyelenggaraan kelas bilingual ini dilaksanakan dalam lima kali pertemuan. Setiap pertemuan berlangsung selama 2 – 2,5 jam. Teknik kegiatan meliputi: pronunciation drills, group and class discussions, modelling, penyusunan skenario pengajaran (teaching scenario), dan microteaching. Peserta selalu antusias dalam setiap kegiatan. Setiap sesi microteaching berakhir, dilakukan refleksi. Feedback dari peserta lain terhadap guru yang melakukan microteaching sangat supportif dan konstruktif. Pada akhir pelatihan, terdapat peningkatan kompetensi guru-guru peserta pelatihan dalam menggunakan ungkapan-ungkapan bahasa Inggris untuk tujuan pengajaran. Mereka tampak lebih percaya diri dan lebih lancar berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris. Pihak sekolah mengharapkan pelatihan berkelanjutan untuk menyukseskan program pengajaran bilingual di sekolah.
