Pada usia 4-6 tahun anak memasuki masa emas karena anak cepat menyerap hal-hal diajarkan,di usia tersebut anak memasuki jenjang taman kanak-kanak yaitu jenjang pendidikan formal yang dilakukan dengan memberi materi-materi khusus anak usia dini yang berupa rangsangan untuk membantu pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak serta meningkatkan daya cipta anak dan memacu  belajar mengenal berbagai ilmu pengetahuan melalui pendekatan nilai budi bahasa, agama, sosial, emosional, fisik, motorik, kognitif, bahasa, seni dan kemandirian.

I Wayan Kotaniartha, S.H., M.H., Advisor II Dra. Anak Agung Rai Tirtawati, M.Si.           The ability to communicate in children is influenced by various factors; one of it is from the family and the environment. At the age of 4-6 years old, the children enter the golden age because children quickly absorb things that are taught. At that age children enter kindergarten, which is a formal educational level in which special materials relating to early childhood are given in the form of stimulation, to help the growth and development of children, increase children's creativity, and help them to learn about various sciences through approaches to language, religion, society, emotions, the physical world, motor functions, cognition, language, arts and independence. All are designed as an effort to develop children's thinking and their roles. Therefore, it is important to conduct research to find out the strategies applied by kindergarten teachers and find out what obstacles teachers encounter during the teaching and learning process.             In a study entitled "Strategy of Teacher in Improving Communication Ability among Children (Case Study in Bakti 2 Kindergarten Denpasar)", using a qualitative approach and descriptive design. The research subjects were the teachers in Bakti 2 Kindergarten Denpasar. Data collection was done through observation, interview and documentation techniques. The collected data was analyzed with qualitative descriptive techniques. The results of the study indicate that the teacher can recognize the characters of students by paying attention to their daily habits, so that the teacher can find a course of action according to the character of the student. The teacher also implements some methods that can improve students' communication skills, namely by asking questions, telling stories, tourism work, role playing / socio drama, chatting and singing. The teacher must also be friendly, patient, and choose appropriate words so that students can understand and accept various well-taught material. In addition to the method above the teacher uses teaching aids as supports during the teaching and learning process. The obstacle that is often encountered by the teacher is pronunciation that is not yet clear, students have not understood the content of the conversation so that the teacher's efforts to improve their communication skills become a little hampered.    Keywords: Teacher Strategy, Communication Ability, Early Childhood

Working with English learners for many years, gives you the opportunity to encounter linguistic obstacles that they face while learning English language as a foreign language. Additionally, teaching for 13 years and observing the learning process, it enables you to recognize the students’ needs and at the same time, detect linguistic mistakes that they make, while practicing the target language. During my experience as a teacher, in terms of teaching and learning verbs in general and its grammatical categories in specific, it is noticed that Albanian learners find it relatively difficult the correct use of verbs in context and even more confusing the equivalent use of verbs in Albanian. Since verbs present an important part of speech, this study aims to investigate several differences and similarities between grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian. As a result, the Albanian learners of English language will be able to identify some of the major differences and similarities between the grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian; overcome the usual mistakes; gain the necessary knowledge regarding verbs and use them properly in English and Albanian.

The most important measures were: teacher dynamism, teacher delivery, time spent with the students, positive reinforcement of the students, and positive attitude toward the students.

The learning process in the Palu State Islamic Education Madrasah has run as it should, although in terms of strategies, methods, and learning media used varies according to the conditions, both the material and the condition of the students, and the ability of the teacher itself is different from one another. Blended learning based learning at the Palu Model State Islamic Education Madrasah is considered effective and efficient because teachers are not preoccupied with making material designs, simply accessing the internet is needed including practice in the form of videos so that it will facilitate teachers, both in terms of time, effort and cost. The challenge of blended learning is that teachers are required to be more creative and able to use internet networks. While the opportunity is the Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri Model Palu already equipped with network facilities and infrastructure that can support blended learning.
