IS ENGLISH
IMPORTANT FOR INDONESIAN KINDERGARTENS?
Nowadays, we know that English language
is one of the most used language in the world, even outside of England or
America many people can understand English language because it is easy to learn
for a lot of people in around the world. In Indonesia, English become an
important education or subject for the students because in this era, it is
become a global language. Now, English is one of the most important subjects
in Indonesian kindergartens, because it can improve children skill before they
move to elementary school.
English for children in Indonesian
kindergartens is important because it is the easiest global language if we
compare it with mandarin language as the another global language. Studying
English may be easier for the children in kindergartens because they have a
good curiosity about everything and they want to try a new journey every day in
kindergartens. The children are more interesting with drawing book or something
else with a lot of colour. So the teacher should teach them using a drawing
book or pencil colour, for the example the children could mention the colour or
what is the animal in the drawing book in English or teacher can use a song to
teach English for the children because if they enjoy the situation and
condition in the classroom, it will be easier for them to understand.
English
can be used as a introducing subject before the children going to elementary
school, So they will be interesting to learn more about English because they
has been learn English since they are in kindergartens. Grammar is not the most
important part of English in kindergartens, teacher can teach about number,
colour, animal, fruit, song and many more, because it is basic part of language
to understand before they learn about grammar or something else.
If
English be taught in kindergartens, it can help the children because they can
understand a lot of things such as using internet, smart phone and many more.
Because in this era, smart phone and internet is important to help them to
learn more about English or learn about everything they want in daily life.
As we know that some people in Indonesia disagree
if English be taught in kindergartens, because they think that English is
difficult subject for children and it can cause to disturb children language, ministry
of education and culture (KEMENDIKBUD) said that English language should be
start to taught at Junior high school because they think that it is the ideal
time to learn English. Some parents thought that English should not be taught
in kindergartens because they afraid it can make their children afraid with
English because maybe English can be the difficult subject in kindergartens. If
we back in the days when their parents be a student, it is reasonable if they
think that English may can be the difficult subject because not a lot of old
people in these day cannot understand English language well. The another reason
is that only some of children who interesting with English language, so it is
difficult to find the best way to educate the another children who does not
interesting with English.
Behind the controversy that English
should be taught in kindergartens or not, the fact is children in this era
cannot stay away from English language, for the example when they using a
gadget, or watching film with English language, unconsciously they have learned
English with the easiest and basic step to learn it. A lot of people in
Indonesia learn English well are not from school, but a lot of them learn
English from listening to music, watching film or playing video games. So if in
kindergartens English language does not exist, the children still can learn it
with another ways, gadget is the best answer if they want to learn English well
because gadget provide everything. YouTube is the best platform in gadget
because children can find everything they want to learn, but parents should
control and watch them when they want to use gadget because nowadays we can
find everything on internet.
English language as the most important
language in around the world may become a controversy when it should be taught,
but the fact is, nowadays, the children should understand English even it is
not good enough because almost everything in their daily life is using English
language, internet, gadget, are the little example of it. I think that English
is still the best subject that children in kindergartens should learn because
the fact is, they have learned English from any platform in their daily life.
So, there is no reason to wait until in junior high school to learn English
because agree or disagree, English is important for our daily life this day.
