INTRODUCTION
The era of society 5.0 has a very wide range of information and without limits making education adapt to the changes that occur.This is answered by Indonesia with efforts to build a competitive character in globalization.The impact of change is also felt in the increasingly competitive world of education in the field of technology and good information needs to be supported by superior language skills.Departing from this understanding, early childhood education in which there are aspects of language development that allow early childhood in the future will be better prepared for the next era of change.Language is used as a benchmark for everyone to understand knowledge and prepare for future changes.One of the learning materials developed by early childhood education institutions is the optimization of language learning.
Based on the 2014 Permendikbud of Early Childhood Education Curriculum regarding the Early Childhood Education Curriculum Structure, the language development program as referred to in paragraph (1) includes the realization of an atmosphere for the development of language maturity in the context of play.Other coverage of the details of children's language development are: a) understanding receptive language, including the ability to understand stories, commands, rules, like and appreciate reading; b).expressing language, including the ability to ask questions, answer questions, communicate verbally, retell what is known, learn pragmatic language, express feelings, ideas, and desires in the form of graffiti; and c).literacy, including understanding the relationship between letter shapes and sounds, imitating letter shapes, and understanding words in stories (Depdiknas, 2014).Musfiroh says that children's language development includes phonological development (recognizing and producing sounds), vocabulary development, semantic development and word meaning, syntactic development or sentence construction and pragmatic development or the use of language for communication purposes.
The assumption above is that children learn foreign languages faster than adults so that children who master foreign languages early have advantages in terms of intellectual flexibility, academic, language and social skills.In addition, children will have readiness to enter a social context with various languages and cultures.Ghasemi & Hashemi's research on foreign language learning in childhood states that the earlier a child is introduced to a new language, the better the results.The Iranian researchers say that children who learn English early can grasp more quickly and retain better what they learn, speak more fluently, with native-like pronunciation.
Children's English language acquisition is assumed to be the same as first language acquisition.The school's approach to children's English language acquisition is considered as a foundational skill for other language skills, namely speaking, reading and writing.The goal of children's English language acquisition is for children to be able to use English as a means of communication.There are several ways that can improve English language skills in early childhood that have the aim of improving children's language skills.Learning activities facilitate children with different learning styles; such as visual, auditory and kinesthetic.These activities are especially beneficial for children who are not yet able to produce language.Providing features, sounds, movements and words in English (receptive language) so that children have the ability to speak English according to rules and structures.
The introduction of English requires the right method, among these methods there are methods that are attractive to children so that children are easy to improve English learning with their friends and teachers.One of the ways that teachers can solve children's reading problems is by using a method that will improve children's reading skills.One of the methods used is the phonics method.Serna explained about Phonics the relationship between letter symbols and sounds.Phajane explains that Phonics can also be interpreted as the translation of letter symbols into spoken sounds.The history explains that the originator of this phonics method is Melvin Bell with the term Visible Speech Method, which means the sound symbols produced by the speech device.Meanwhile, the phonics method that teaches speech sounds from letter sounds instead of letter names alphabetically is called the Speech Sound Method.Learning to read through this phonics method is centered on the pronunciation of the letter sounds of each letter of the alphabet.In learning English as a foreign language and a spoken language, children will receive auditory stimuli first.Then, the child will manipulate the letter sounds that have been heard by repeating the letter sounds.
The implementation of the phonics method is taught when the child has recognized the letter symbols, then the steps are: (1) students are introduced to the letter sounds; (2) students are asked to sound out the letters repeatedly; and (3) students are asked to combine and associate the letter sounds.According to Sunarni, there are several steps in implementing the phonics method, which include: 1) Children are instructed to use letter sounds when spelling; 2) Children lengthen letter sounds when connecting with other letter sounds; 3) Teaching starts with the arrangement of letters and then continues with more complicated letter patterns; 4) Children are introduced to double consonant sounds as a sound unit; and 5) In addition, children are also introduced to double vowel sounds as a sound unit.
The introduction of English at the early childhood education level implemented with various strategies will facilitate the absorption of international language in children for the next level of education.The English material taught by the teacher will stick to his memory.This was developed in kindergartens in Banjarmasin, namely Hasanuddin Madjedi Islamic Integrated Preschool and Madinaturramlah Islamic Integrated Preschool.Both PAUD have implemented English as a second language by providing a conducive climate created by both schools with an environment that optimizes stimulus in the process of English acquisition.Both PAUDs realized that introducing English to their children as early as possible as a school effort to introduce and provide additional knowledge through English learning by implementing the 2013 curriculum with English learning materials to develop and implement fun and effective learning methods for early childhood English learning.The overall theme used is linked to the introduction of English.
The objectives of this study are: 1) to analyze the implementation of English language acquisition with phonics method in learning; and 2) Describe in depth and analyze in detail the competence of teachers in the implementation of English language acquisition with the phonics method.
