<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p>This present study aimed to investigate 14 kindergarten students of Apple Tree pre-school Samarinda with various ability toward their English vocabularies development by flashcards. A Class Action Research was applied in this study. The data was collected through observation checklist, sequence of cycles and interview transcript. Then, building on the analysis of the collected data, it further discusses the vocabulary development of YL and provides suggestions for TEYL. This study revealed that; (1) most of the students developed their English vocabularies gradually by flashcards. (2) These result indicated that TEYL especially kindergarten students by using flashcards could give significant vocabularies development in learning process. Flashcards is one of the simplest and effective teaching materials for teaching YL vocabulary due to the fact that flashcards are categorized based on themes with full colored pictures which attractive for YL. As this study showed the students were engaged with the topics given since the teachers used flashcards to teach English vocabulary. It was difficult to make engagement with YL in English teaching and learning because YL have different mood, self-motivation, and self-confidence which influenced to the willingness in grasping the lesson. Finally, through this based-picture learning, the students indicated that their progress in vocabulary development although this phenomena was commonly happened in TEFL for YL that lead to teaching method done by English teachers who are required to do more innovation toward their teaching method, to develop sufficient knowledge and to use proper teaching media.       </p><p> </p>

Rational Allocation

Under the current circumstances of foreign academic degree students in University of Science and Technology Liaoning (the foreign academic degree students come from different countries and have different foundations, different languages and different learning habits), based on the PBL theory, this work has proposed the teaching-method reformation of foreign degree students, which is combining the group study and assignment-oriented study together to reinforce students' learning process, and to improve the teaching effect. There are five steps in teaching-method reformation: questions prepared by instructors, references researching, group communication and study, in- class discussion and teacher's evaluation and summary. It is conducive to the rational allocation of the proportion of “teaching” and “learning”, promoting students' active learning. The methodology would help improve the quality of the teachers and evoke self-esteem and self-confidence of the students, stimulate their enterprising spirit.

Conducting Research

To learn a lesson well, we need to hear, see, ask questions about it, and discuss it with others. Not only that, teachers need to "do it", that is to describe something in their own way, to show their example, to try to practice their skills and to do tasks that demand the knowledge they have gained. Problems to be studied in this research are: Does using STAD cooperative model can improve the learning result of mathematics? Steps taken in using the STAD cooperative model.           The place of study is the place used in conducting research to obtain the desired data. This research took place at SD Negeri 08 Koto Berapak, Bayang District. The time of study is the time of the research or when the research is held. This study was conducted in the academic year 2017.         The subjects of the study were the students of the second grade of SD Negeri 08 Koto Berapak, Bayang District, in the year of 2017 on the subject of mathematics. This research uses Classroom Action Research (PTK). According to the PGSM Project Trainers Team, the TOD is a reflective form of study by actors undertaken to enhance the rational stability of their actions in performing their duties, deepening their understanding of the actions, and improving the conditions under which the learning practices are conducted (in Mukhlis, 2000: 3). Meanwhile, according to Mukhlis (2000: 5) PTK is a form of review that is systematic reflective by the actors to improve the learning conditions undertaken. The main purpose of PTK is to improve / improve the learning pratek on an ongoing basis, while the purpose of inclusion is to grow a culture of research among teachers            That is a set of plans and arrangements about classroom learning activities, as well as assessment of learning outcomes. It is a learning tool used as teacher's guidance in teaching and composed for each round. Each RP contains basic competencies, indicators of achievement of learning outcomes, specific learning objectives, and teaching and learning activities.            The results of data analysis and discussion can show some of the progress achieved during learning either through classical learning, cooperative STAD model, playing quiz, or learning outcomes. So the results of this class action research can be drawn conclusions as follows: 1. Learning STAD cooperative model can encourage students to learn about math more excited, improve learning process, and learning outcomes. 2. Playing quiz can encourage students to learn about math to be more passionate, improve learning process, and learning outcomes.             Some other findings obtained are the emergence of student creativity in making questions and answers, the number of questions posed by students, the responsibility of completing the task, the loss of boredom, even students prefer to complete the task rather than rest.

Sentence Patterns

Based on the researcher’s observation in teaching and learning process, there were some problems faced by the students in understanding of English sentences of different types of texts (genre). The problems consisted of: (1) The students did not know the key ideas and details of English sentences. (2) the students were not able to differentiate between key ideas and less important ideas in sentences. To solve those problems, it was important to do a class action research by using a strategy of understanding sentence patterns. There were 2 aims of this research. The first aim was to explain to what extent students’ understanding of sentence patterns can better improve students’ understanding of English sentences. Secondly, to explain what factors influence the changes of students’ understanding of English sentences. This research consisted of three cycles. The result of the research showed that the strategy of understanding of sentence patterns could improve students’ understanding of English sentences. The improvement could be seen from the students’ average scores in the tests of understanding of English sentences which improved before the cycle into cycles. The average scores consisted of 28.7, 32.4, 56.4 and 60.6. the students’ average score improved 3.7 in cycle 1, 1.24 in cycle 2 and 4.2 in cycle 3. So, the improvement of understanding of English sentences before cycle into cycles was 31.9.   So, it can be concluded that the strategy of teaching sentence patterns improves students’ understanding of English sentences. It is caused by some factors. The factors are the teacher’s treatment, classroom atmosphere and students’ motivation in learning process.
