Supportive Learning Environment

We emphasized that there were many factors (both internal and external) that should be taken into consideration while we were engaged in the teaching process. Under “the internal factors” we mean factors which are inside the classroom. They are: Effective instructions. In this way we mean teaching practice due to the attention to individuals of pupils leading well-planned instructions, which tend to enhance a great order and effective process of studying. Setting and implementing rules. In this case the goal is to achieve maximum result of learning within minimum of time. Feedback according to appropriate behavior. It is a good point to remember that praise of behavior would be more effective if it was linked with well-planned and well-done performance. Emphasizing on classroom environment. Well-managed classrooms will increase pupils’ desire to study in such supportive learning environment. The best teacher’s Approach. The best way to teach pupils is to develop their activity that lets them to create the rules, instead of telling the schoolchildren what the rules are. Disabilities. If one pupil has a disability to study this subject, the teacher may need to spend more one-on-one time with this pupil or allow the development of technician to provide the activities with him/her.             It was shown that external factors were these ones that were outside the classroom. In this way they affect classroom management, such as: planning, developing teacher’s personality, organizing parent-teacher meetings and emphasizing on psychological factors.

English Instruction

To enable Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ULM) to become the Asia-Pacific centre for wetlands development in 2027, one of the efforts ULM makes is to raise awareness about the importance of optimising human resources in wetlands through research and development in the educational and cultural fields. English is considered a foreign language in Indonesia, allowing students to use the language outside of academic settings. English becomes a required subject in junior and senior high school; however, the government requires that English be taught in primary schools as a local topic. English, on the other hand, remains a mandatory subject in a large number of Indonesian primary schools, particularly in Banjarmasin. The issue arises in primary school English instruction because there is no clear guidance for teachers on how to teach English in an appropriate and engaging manner for the students. Due to the absence of a monograph book on teaching methods, teachers in some primary schools in Banjarmasin, particularly those located in wetland areas, have limited access to teaching English to young learners (EYL). In light of the university's policy and the critical nature of achieving teaching and learning objectives, as well as the absence of a suitable reference book for teaching EYL, this study aims to develop an appropriate monograph book on teaching techniques for students of young ages. The research and development design is chosen because it aims to create a product and meets the needs of the reference book's development. The results are expected to improve students' academic performance and to assist EYL teachers in wetland areas in conducting effective and meaningful teaching.
