Abstract

At this time the role of English is very important in all areas of human life, especially in the field of education. The education policy to introduce English at primary school age has been implemented. Many schools have included English as a local content subject in the school curriculum. And in learning the teacher uses English as the language of instruction "lingua franca". Therefore, this study aims to investigate how the learning process of an English teacher teaches English in primary schools and can contribute to an understanding of how elementary school teachers view English as one of the local content to equip students with English skills. The method used is a qualitative research method with data taken from interviews with 2 English teachers at private elementary schools in Sleman. The results obtained from this study are that teachers believe that the use of English can increase primary school students' interest in learning English but the perspectives and beliefs of each teacher are different. Keywords:  Primary School, English Language, Learning English

Abstract

From the perspective of Activity Theory (AT), this study demonstrates the existence of motivational strategies and influencing factors acknowledged by English Education students to acquire public speaking skills. Subject, object, outcome, tools, community, rules, and division of labor are all components of Activity Theory (AT). This mixed-method study examines the learning experiences of English Education students in relation to AT components. This study included 16 English Education students. The researchers collected data using questionnaires and interviews. The study found that students used a variety of strategies. They were basically forcing themselves to speak, practicing with their peers, and self-practicing (division of labor). The students reported their happiness with the public speaking class learning process (object). The lecturer's varied learning sources also helped the students succeed in class (tools). Their classmates and lecturer aided and supported them positively (community . There were their obligations in the class were made to manage the class (rules). As a result, English Education departments should promote students' motivation in mastering language skills. Future researchers are encouraged to study language skills acquired by language students in a broader context and with more participants. Keywords:  English Education,            Public Speaking Skills, Activity Theory Perspective
