Preface
In the name of God.
Facilitating a training programme has always been an
inspiring moment. So when the writer observed how
enthusiastic the participants of this TOT programme were,
the writer has been triggered to produce this small book to
give little help for them in facilitating their learners to
experience the meaningful learning process.
Since the participants’ proficiency is still below the required
level for teaching English, the writer suggested that they
can help themselves by learning important operating
language gambits by heart some in order to make the
language learning more effective , where students will have
more exposure to English. At the same time, however, the
participants can learn the language in order to upgrade
their language proficiency.
This small book contains the collections of gambits from the
opening until the closing of the class. The gambits can be
practised by uttering them in drills in order to familiarise
their tongue to say the gambits. In order to say a gambit
with the correct intonation and pronunciation, it is advised
for them to ask other people who are good at pronunciation to
say the gambits and they imitate what he/she says.
The last but not the least, the writer hopes that this book will
be of help to the programme participants. The writer expects
some criticisms for further improvements.

PENDEKATAN PENGAJARAN
BAHASA INGGRIS SD DI DKI JAKARTA

Mata pelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bagian dari mata

pelajaran Muatan Lokal DKI Jakarta bertujuan untuk
mengembangkan keterampilan siswa dalam berbicara,
menyimak, membaca, dan menulis bahasa Inggris, dengan
penekanan pada keterampilan berbicara sehari-hari.
Agar tujuan mata pelajaran bahasa Inggris di SD tercapai,
pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan
kebermaknaan. Pendekatan ini menekankan pada
pengembangan keterampilan berbahasa yang mencakup
keterampilan berbicara, menyimak, membaca dan menulis.
Belajar bahasa Inggris adalah belajar menggunakan bahasa
Inggris untuk mengungkapkan dan/atau memahami makna.
Oleh karena itu, kegiatan belajar mengajar yang harus
dikembangkan adalah kegiatan yang mengarah kepada
pelibatan siswa dalam menggunakan bahasa yang berbentuk
kegiatan berbicara, menyimak, membaca, dan menulis. Pada
hakikatnya keempat keterampilan berbahasa tersebut tidak
dapat dipisah-pisahkan. Keterampilan-keterampilan tersebut
harus disajikan secara terpadu.

Dalam pendekatan kebermaknaan, tata bahasa dan lafal

berfungsi sebagai alat untuk menunjang keterampilan
berbahasa. Oleh karena itu, guru tidak perlu lagi terlalu
banyak menggunakan waktu untuk menjelaskan kaidah-kaidah
bahasa secara tersendiri. Namun, tidak berarti guru dilarang
menjelaskan tentang tata bahasa. Penjelasan tentang tata
bahasa hendaknya hanya diberikan secukupnya saja sesuai
dengan fungsinya sebagai penunjang keterampilan berbahasa.
