It can be in the form of strategies that can motivate students in the learning process. Moreover, in teaching elementary school students, teachers should be more creative to encourage students’ motivation in speaking by using attractive teaching media which involves physical activity because young learners usually only have a short attention span. By using teaching media, students will learn a language in such attractive and fun ways. Thus, the researchers want to see the use of Fun Fishing in teaching speaking at one of the Elementary Schools in Lampung to encourage students in learning English. This research used a qualitative method since it disclosed how to implement Fun Fishing media in an Elementary School in Lampung.

Learning a foreign language can effectively take place in childhood, which is usually called the golden period. However, recent data shows the number of problems faced by elementary school students. One of the main problems identified is oral competency. This is due to a lack of teachers’ knowledge of teaching methods. The primary objective of this study is to identify whether the implementation of an activity-based learning (ABL) method can improve students’ speaking skills at the Elementary School level. Classroom action research with two cycles was used to investigate the impact of the method at Permata Bangsa Elementary school. The data was collected through observation on 17 students while doing activities and tests administered at the end of each cycle to obtain the result of the learning process. The data obtained were then compared, and the results show the influence on students’ improvement in speaking. Thus, the implementation of ABL at the elementary school can significantly enhance students’ oral competency.

This research is motivated by the problem of the low ability to read the beginning of students, so that the SAS method is applied so that it can help students in the success of reading the beginning. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in pretest and posttest by applying synthetic analytical structural methods (SAS) in reading the beginning of elementary school students and to determine the increase in pretest and posttest in reading the beginning of students. This type of research is a pre-experimental type of pretest-posttest one group design, which is an experiment that is only carried out in only one group, without comparison. This study was conducted in class 1 with 34 students. Based on the results of the study it was found that the average reading ability before being treated (pretest) was 51.77 while the average reading ability after treatment (posttest) was 88.41 and the average value of gain normality was 0.76 which including the high category and the results of hypothesis testing using t-test with tcount=51,080 and ttable=2,0345 can be concluded tcount>ttable, then reject H0 means significant. This means that there is an increase in initial reading in class I students who are significant between before (pretest) and after (posttest) applying the Synthetic Analytical Structural (SAS) method.SAS method, read beginning, elementary school

This study aims to determine how integrated thematic-based English learning is for elementary school students. The method used is a qualitative research method with descriptive analysis techniques with library research by examining the implementation of integrated thematic-based English learning for elementary school students. Data collection is done by reducing documents in the form of reports, news and research articles both nationally and internationally related to the topic of this research article. The results showed that the integration between student experience and previous knowledge possessed by children with English learning presented in a theme, will help children to gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes holistically. The theme developed is of course taking into account the children's knowledge, interests, and environment. Each skill in English is also not taught separately but is learned in an integrated manner with other skills. Therefore, the concept of learning English as a foreign language in accordance with the concept of an integrated thematic approach will be able to provide the value of knowledge, skills, and attitudes as a whole whose process is in line with the characteristics of children at the elementary school level.

Indonesia has abundant cultural diversity. Each region has its own cultural characteristics. Currently, elementary school students' love for art has begun to fade, even though there are so many arts developing. By modifying the puppets into paper puppets, it is easy to make and use them as learning media. Elementary school is a fundamental and strategic education, because it is a golden period and laying the foundation for child development. In addition, the environment plays a very large role in the formation of attitudes and children, namely character. Character is a characteristic that is attached to a person, manifested through moral values and then becomes the hallmark of a person who is formed in life. The purpose of this study was to prove the effect of the application of paper puppet learning media on the character values of elementary school students. The type of research used is experimental research with one-group pretest posttest design technique. The results of the study using paper puppet learning media made students' character values stronger. This can be seen from the average value before being given treatment, the results are 92.63 while after being given treatment the results are 160.72. Based on the analysis of paired sample t-test data, it is known that Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.000 <0.05, in general it can be concluded that there is an effect of the application of the Paper Puppet Learning Media on the Character Values of Elementary School Students.
