B. Soal UTS
A. Read the following text. Then answer the questions.
Given the challenges faced by Indonesian teachers, it may be necessary to reconsider the use of
CLT in primary classrooms. Studies have demonstrated the ineffectual use of CLT in primary EFL
education in other contexts too (e.g. Copland, et al. 2014).It is necessary for teachers to be
methodologically eclectic. They need to adapt pedagogical decisions to suit children’s needs as well
as the local context where pedagogical challenges occurring from large classes are predominant
(Copland, et al. 2014). In designing tasks and activities for children, it is necessary to emphasize
meaning-focused instruction as it is proven indispensable in the sustenance of children’s motivation in
language learning (Huang, 2011). Since children benefit much from rich input-based condition in
formal school-setting, teachers also need to create tasks and activities that provide children with
opportunities for negotiating meanings and encouraging simple dialogical verbal interaction (see
Huang, 2011 for samples). Stories, games and songs are useful for the development of enjoyable
lessons that would promote interests and motivation among children (Nunan, 2011).
Although there has been growing aspiration for the increasing use of English in primary EFL
classrooms (e.g. Asriyanti, et al. 2013; Gunawan & Suharno, 2008), the multilingual context of
Indonesia requires teachers to utilize children’s L1 without necessarily curbing the potential of
communicative activities (Zein, 2016c). This is particularly relevant to the proposed curriculum that
promotes linguistic and cultural diversity and encourages children to use English in a thematic way
through their acquisition of knowledge and culture in L1. Furthermore, teachers also need to be
versatile in designing tasks and activities that could introduce children to the cultures of the world and
cultivate students’ existing knowledge as a basis for exploration into global understanding (Shin,
Eslami, & Chen, 2011).
