Learning media is a component that contributes to the implementation of the learning process at the education unit level. The role of the media in learning, especially in early childhood education (PAUD) is very important, considering the development of children at that time was in a period of concrete thinking. However, there are still teachers who think that the role of the media in the learning process is only as a tool and may be ignored when the media is not available in schools. Even though the learning media used in the early childhood learning process should not be obtained from the store by buying. However, teachers and parents can create their own media. One solution that can overcome this condition is that it is necessary to conduct a training in making creative, attractive and easily available media in a nature-based environment. The community service activities carried out in the form of socialization and training in making learning media based on natural materials provide benefits for training participants, including: 1) For Teachers: Adding insight and increasing teacher creativity in preparing learning media by utilizing natural materials-based materials. 2) For Parents: Gained insight and experience to be more creative and innovative in assisting children to be creative in making a work (learning media) by utilizing materials that can be obtained from the natural surroundings. 3) For Children (students): Increase their self-confidence to be more skilled in performing work in creating a work (media) by collaborating with their respective parents/guardians.   Keywords: PAUD Learning Media, Natural Materials

<p>Language is a developmental aspect which is important to be stimulated from an early age. Language development in children has a dynamic rhythm. There is numerous speech that seems common and consistent in the language of children. Fortunately, this phenomenon does not automatically close the gaps of diversity in the children’s classes. Thus, the method of developing language skills especially English in children must be based on awareness of their own level of development. In developing language skills, the mastery of vocabulary by children determines the dominant ability to communicate, so this should be given special attention by educators. Answering the challenge of mastering the English vocabulary in early childhood, this paper explores in depth about the Talking Stick Learning Model which tends to be reserved for children at a relatively early age. Their first interaction with English will in some way affect their wishes ahead to learn more about this International language. Talking Stick Learning Model projects teachers not to dominate the learning process. This method of learning requires the help of a stick and for the child holding the stick, in turn, must answer the questions of the teacher that have thoroughly studied a discussion. In addition to training children to speak, this model will create a fun atmosphere for learning and train students to participate actively and creatively.<br /> <br />Keywords: Talking Stick Learning Model, English Vocabulary, Early Childhood<br />Abstrak<br />Bahasa adalah aspek perkembangan yang penting untuk distimulus sejak usia dini. Perkembangan bahasa pada anak memiliki irama yang dinamis. Terdapat ujaran yang terkesan umum dan konsisten pada bahasa anak-anak. Untungnya, fenomena ini tidak secara otomatis menutup celah-celah munculnya keberagaman pada kelas-kelas anak. Dengan demikian, metode dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berbahasa, terlebih bahasa Inggris, pada anak mesti didasarkan atas kesadaran mengenai tingkat perkembangan mereka masing-masing. Dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berbahasa, penguasaan kosakata oleh anak menentukan secara dominan kemampuannya dalam berkomunikasi, sehingga hal ini sebaiknya diberikan atensi khusus oleh pendidik. Menjawab tantangan penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris pada anak usia dini, tulisan ini mengupas secara mendalam tentang Model Pembelajaran Talking Stick yang cenderung diperuntukkan bagi anak-anak pada usia relatif dini. Interaksi pertama mereka dengan bahasa Inggris akan sedikit banyak mempengaruhi keinginan mereka ke depan mempelajari lebih jauh bahasa Internasional ini. Model Pembelajaran Talking Stick memproyeksikan guru untuk tidak mendominasi proses pembelajaran. Bantuan tongkat diperlukan dalam metode pembelajaran ini dan bagi anak yang memegang tongkat pada gilirannya mesti menjawab pertanyaan dari guru setelah tuntas mempelajari suatu bahasan. Di samping melatih anak berbicara, model ini akan menciptakan suasana menyenangkan dalam pembelajaran serta melatih siswa untuk berpartisipasi aktif serta kreatif.</p><p>Kata Kunci: Model Pembelajaran Talking Stick, English Vocabulary, Anak Usia Dini</p>

The traditional methods of language teaching have always had their roots in the grammar-translation method, used in our educational system for more than 500 years. However, the constant search for updating and the desire to improve the language skills of students has led to a succession of different methods and proposals in a few years with the intention of improving the existing ones. The literature on this subject confirms that there is no perfect approach, but it also shows that the communicative one and the interdisciplinarity in the teaching-learning process of second languages brings good results. The author proposes a holistic interdisciplinary activity for the bilingual early childhood classroom, based on the communicative method. Thus, this chapter presents the elaboration of a musical tale, accompanied by a subsequent audiovisual recording, which will help students to learn a second language in real natural contexts.

This article examines the learning trajectory of the emerging professionalism of Finnish early childhood education and care student teachers, focusing in particular on their professionalism in early childhood education and care world-view education in the context of cultural and world-view superdiversity. Of specific interest here is what students postulate as meaningful in their professional learning processes and why, and what kinds of directions this value-learning process has taken. The data was generated over a year-long learning process in a group with seven early childhood education and care students and six in-service early childhood education and care teachers through survey responses, reflective learning diaries and retrospective in-depth interviews with the students. Using the Kuusisto and Gearon (2017a) value-learning-trajectory model as an analytical tool, the findings are presented through an in-depth case study depicting one student’s learning throughout the process and across the data sets. To conclude, the conceptual working model is developed further to depict the development of emergent early childhood education and care teacher professionalism with a particular focus on world-view education and early childhood education and care superdiversity.
