There are still many teachers who do not apply appropriate learning strategies for students. This has an impact on the students' lack of English speaking ability. The purpose of implementing this Lesson Study is to increase the level of student participation in learning English. The Lesson Study is carried out in three stages in its implementation, namely Plan, Do, and SEE. In the Plan stage, the author and the Lesson Study team plan the implementation of the Lesson Study by determining the implementation time, materials, classes, and strategies used. The population in this study amounted to 30 students. In practice, data collection is done through observation, interviews, and lesson study techniques carried out in teams. The technique used to analyze the data is descriptive qualitative and quantitative analysis. The study results are the use of the Jigsaw strategy in learning due to the lack of student participation and the willingness of students to speak in English in learning English. After the implementation of the Jigsaw strategy, the students became more active. The result of this reflection (see) stage is that the implementation of the Jigsaw strategy has been successful, and for media problems such as LCD and classroom management by model teachers need to be improved again. Seeing the success of this strategy, the authors suggest that teachers use the Jigsaw strategy as a cooperative learning strategy that will help students become more active.

One of the problems that can be encountered in children is developmental delay. Children with these limitations certainly need the form of special education services that are adequate and in accordance with the characteristics of the limitations of each child, so they are able to help children with special needs in learning. One form of educational services is the homeschooling program. Therefore researchers were interested in knowing how the steps taken by schools in determining learning strategies, types of learning strategies undertaken and steps in classroom management implemented in ABC'D homeschooling so learning objectives can be achieved. This type of research was observational using qualitative methods with case study design. Respondents in this study amounted to 5 people, namely the principal and representatives of teachers / educators in learning ABC Homes, as well as parents of children who study at ABC Homes, Homes class Mliwis. The results showed the steps carried out at ABCD Homeschooling in determining student learning strategies through stages: identification of the attributes / characteristics of obstacles in children, determining what teaching goals children should be able to achieve after completing a learning experience, choosing learning strategies, choosing material / appropriate materials to achieve goals, test strategies and materials (try it on children), conduct performance evaluations / observe the achievement of goals on children / students. The Learning Strategy applied in ABCD homeschooling was the ABA method, as well as other methods such as the method of task analysis, gradual teaching and motor perception training. Classroom management in homeschooling learning in Mliwis was carried out by placing students according to the type of child barrier and also adapted to the stages of children's abilities in one class. One suggestion that researchers can provide is if possible the need for variations in learning with visual methods (video / film) to help achieve learning objectives.   Keywords: Home shcolling, development delays ABSTRAK   Salah satu permasalahan yang dapat jumpai pada anak-anak adalah keterlambatan perkembangan. Anak-anak dengan keterbatasan tersebut tentu memerlukan bentuk layanan pendidikan khusus yang memadai dan sesuai dengan karakteristik keterbatasan masing-masing anak, sehingga mampu membantu ABK dalam belajar. Salah satu bentuk layanan pendidikan tersebut adalah homeschooling program. Oleh karena itu peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui bagaimanakah langkah-langkah yang ditempuh sekolah dalam menentukan strategi pembelajaran, jenis strategi pembelajaran yang dilakukan dan langkah-langkah dalam pengelolaan kelas yang dilaksanakan dalam homeschooling ABC’D agar tujuan pembelajaran dapat tercapai. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan rancangan disain studi kasus. Responden dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 5 orang yaitu kepala sekolah dan perwakilan guru/pendidik pada pembelajaran Homeschooling ABC’D, serta orangtua murid anak yang belajar di Homeschooling ABC’D kelas Mliwis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan langkah-langkah yang dilaksanakan di Homeschooling ABCD dalam menentukan strategi pembelajaran siswa melalui tahapan: identifikasi atribut/karakteristik kendala pada anak, menentukan tujuan pengajaran apa yang harus bisa dicapai anak setelah selesai mendapatkan suatu pengalaman belajar, memilih  strategi pembelajaran, memilihan materi/bahan yang sesuai untuk mencapai tujuan, uji strategi dan materi (mencobanya pada anak), melakukan evaluasi performansi /pengamatan pencapaian tujuan pada anak/siswa didik. Adapun Strategi Pembelajaran yang diterapkan di homeschooling ABCD adalah metode ABA, serta metode lainnya seperti metode analisis tugas, pengajaran bertahap dan latihan persepsi motorik. Pengelolaan kelas pada pembelajan homeschooling di Mliwis dilaksanakan dengan cara menempatkan siswa sesuai jenis hambatan anak serta disesuaikan pula dengan tahapan kemampuan anak dalam satu kelas. Salah satu saran yang dapat peneliti berikan adalah jika memungkinkan  perlu adanya variasi pembelajaran dengan metode visual (video/film) untuk membantu mencapai tujuan pembelajaran.

Online learning poses challenges that students might never have encountered in a face-to-face learning environment. In learning English, students may confront more challenges as they need both cognitive and metacognitive skills in dealing with the dynamic lessons involving interaction, online exercises, and audio, video and text downloads. The challenges faced in online learning have led students to employ learning strategies to help them learn more efficiently and effectively. This paper examined students’ strategy use in learning English online and the correlation of the strategies with their academic performance in the subject. Using the Online Language Learning Strategy Questionnaire (OLLSQ) to gauge students’ strategy use in the domains of cognitive, metacognitive, resource-management and affective, the findings indicated that all students were high users of OLLS in English online learning with the highest preference for metacognitive as the strategies were helpful to students in planning and organizing their studies. However, there was low correlation between the strategies use and performance. Overall, the strategies have impacted the students positively and helped them to cope with the new learning mode that is different from the traditional learning. It is hoped that the discovery of the strategies could provide some important insights into how students can be more successful in learning online, and help others to achieve their study goals and overcome any challenges confronting them in learning English online.   Keywords: E-learners, Learning strategies, Online learning, Performance

Sharing various types of language learning experiences can help learners to develop their language learning strategies. It can also help educators to become aware of how an instructional approach can impact their students. This paper illustrates how I, a Japanese university student, have learned languages, how classroom instructions have affected my language learning, and in what context I have studied. Based on the languages I have learned (English, French, and Russian) and on the two of my study abroad experiences, I divided my language learning history into four sections with the correspondence of the target language and the surrounding environment: 1) learning English in Japan, 2) learning English in English-speaking countries, 3) studying French in Japan, and 4) studying Russian in the United States. This metacognitive description reveals the transition of my language learning focus and the great influence of the classroom instructions on my language learning. 様々な言語学習経験を共有することは学習者の言語学習方略の発達を手助けすることを可能にする。また, これは教育者の指導法がどのように生徒の学習に影響を与え得るのかを教師自身が認識することの手助けにもなる。本稿では, 日本人大学生である私がどのように言語を学習してきたか, 教室で受ける指導がどのように私の言語学習に影響を与えてきたか, そしてどのような環境で私が言語を学んできたかを概観する。私の学習してきた言語(英語, フランス語, ロシア語)と二回の留学経験を基に, 目標言語と学習環境を対応させながら, 自分の言語学習経験を 1) 日本での英語学習, 2) 英語圏での英語学習, 3) 日本でのフランス語学習, 4) アメリカでのロシア語学習の四つに分類した。このメタ認知的な論説を通して, 私の言語学習における焦点の遷移と,これまで私が受けてきた授業が私の言語学習に及ぼした影響を明らかにする。
