ENGLISH TRAINING FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EDUCATORS IN YOGYAKARTA IN THE TIME OF COVID-19. This community service activity was conducted in the form of an English training for eight teachers of an Elementary School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It was conducted from January 2020 up to April 2020. The elementary school in which the training was conducted was an inclusive school in the process of implementing English as Medium Instruction (EMI) policy. As such, its teachers’ mastery of English became paramount important to facilitate young learners with all their individual differences. The training consisted of ten meetings focusing on giving instructions in class. The first up to the sixth meetings were conducted at the school in a face-to-face mode, whilst the seventh up to the tenth meetings were conducted online, mostly through tele-conferences, due to the Covid-19 pandemic compelling both facilitators and the training participants to work from home. In the ninth meeting, the participants sent their micro-teaching videos on giving effective instructions in class. In the last meeting, the facilitators gave constructive feedback based on the videos sent earlier on aspects that the participants had been good at and aspects that still needed improvements.

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.

In 1972 a program was developed in Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland, to provide daily resource remediation to elementary school-age children with language handicaps. In accord with the Maryland’s guidelines for language and speech disabilities, the general goal of the program was to provide remediation that enabled children with language problems to increase their abilities in the comprehension or production of oral language. Although self-contained language classrooms and itinerant speech-language pathology programs existed, the resource program was designed to fill a gap in the continuum of services provided by the speech and language department.
