Each group was to choose one of the five different tasks given. The five tasks are: Making a Newsletter. Making an English Event in campus Fun English in Community English Language Seminar with the

from Group 7 who chose to do the Fun English. His group went to PAUD (PendidikanAnakUsiaDini) or playgroup at Sabilayasaroh, Cinere - Depok in midNovember. And there, we saw firsthand the method that they used to teach the students. They were using Power Point consisting of pictures with Indonesian meaning and English meaning. They also used games to see if the children understood everything they had been taught so far. They taught the kids in PAUD for three times: the first time was on the 13th of November, the second was on the 18th and the last time was on the 25th. Each day, they taught the students different things and each session had different level of difficulty. On the first day, they introduced the students using power point slides about greetings, alphabets and numbers, the only downside was that he and his

He also said that it was one of the most pleasant experiences ever.

taught so far using games and songs. Since it was the second time they taught here, the students were getting used to their method and also grew fond of them, it also made Suyizka's group a little bit more relaxed when teaching the students. On the last day, they added more subject about transportations and animals, also, like in the previous days, they also reviewed about everything they had taught to the students. They could interact with the students more casually because they were already getting used to them, and the students also felt familiar with them. Suyizka's group gave a certificate to the playgroup as a token of appreciation. The response from the students were positives and they enjoyed group 7s teaching method because it was very fun. The students were also obedient, polite and very active during the lesson which gave motivation to Group 7 to teach them more, and also made them adaptable to the whole new teaching situation faster and more
