APPRENTICESHIP REPORT
AT TUNAS CEMARA KINDERGARTEN
I choose to do my apprenticeship at an educational institution since
I realize that education has important role in educating, training, and
teaching people to have a bright future. Teaching also expands the
teaching skills and the knowledge about teaching methods, and for those
who works in the teaching, experiences in teaching can also shape them to
be professional teachers.
As for children education, I think it is important for children to learn
foreign language as early as possible. Nowadays in Indonesia, English
language enters global competition. Therefore children are expected to
learn English so they can actively participate in the global competition.
I choose Tunas Cemara Kindergarten as the place of my
apprenticeship. Tunas Cemara Kindergarten teaches two foreign
languages, Mandarin and English, to children of 2-3 years old (playgroup),
4-5 years old (kindergarten). Mandarin becomes the mediator language,
and therefore it becomes a plus point for this kindergarten.
Tunas Cemara Kindergarten was established by Citra Cemara
Foundation in April 2000. Tunas Cemara Kindergarten is located at JL. Situ
Aksan 41 Bandung. The headmaster is Lanny Senjaya. Total number of
students is 10 pupils in Playgroup A, 23 pupils in Playgroup B, 21 pupils in
Kindergarten A, and 12 pupils in Kindergarten B. There are seven teachers
for playgroup A and B, two teachers for kindergarten A, and two teachers
for kindergarten B.
Tunas Cemara Kindergarten is one of the kindergartens that
prepares daily aspects of knowledge and helps to form good characteristic
for the children. The vision of Tunas Cemara Kindergarten is to guarantee
all children to get basic education and skills, and furthermore to prepare
them for future success and to prepare the new generation with
responsibility. The mission of Tunas Cemara Kindergarten is to make the
best of children’s potential in emotional, intellectual, physical, and language
development, that can be reached by strong cooperation between the
school and parents.
My major motivation in doing my apprenticeship as an English
teacher is due to my loving devotion to children. In addition, teaching is a
unique occupation with many challenges and difficulties, from the unique
characteristic of children to the teaching-learning process itself. It requires
many sacrifices for a teacher, for example, a teacher must spend extra time
outside the class to teach some of students who are slow in understanding
a lesson. However, this profession brings satisfaction if the students do well
and succeed in their study because teaching is a willingness to make a
positive change in their lives.
There are some requirements to be an English teacher at Tunas
Cemara Kindergarten. She should love children, be able to speak English,
to work in a team, be disciplined, and at least a Diploma III graduate of any
major.
The job descriptions as an English teacher at Tunas Cemara
teaching politeness in English outside the class, teaching vocabulary,
monitoring children’s activities both during and outside the learning
process, and also searching for rhymes in English. On the other hand, the
routines in this kindergarten are preparing the equipment, preparing the
rows of children, praying in English and Mandarin, and greeting the
students. From my routine, my main tasks as a teacher are to monitor
children in all activities, either inside or outside the classroom, help prepare
the lesson materials, and of course to teach.
In the workplace, I face some difficulties during teaching at Tunas
Cemara kindergarten. There are children of unique characteristics, such as
children from broken homes who have sensitive feeling, autistic children,
and hyperactive children. My other difficulty is confusion in making lesson
plans. It is because English and Mandarin are mixed and both must be
included in one lesson plan. Since I do not understand Mandarin, thus I
cannot be total in the teaching itself.
Speaking and Listening are the English skills applied during my
apprenticeship at Tunas Cemara Kindergarten. Speaking is use when I
have to spell and pronounce with the right pronunciation, sometime also
with rhythm and intonation. Meanwhile Listening is used when I listen
carefully to what the children say in English before correcting it if
necessary. Listening is also used when I listen to English songs before I
teach that song to the children, and also when I watch and listen to
educational DVDs.
There are subjects that support my apprenticeship. First,
Introduction to TEFL (Teaching English as an Foreign Language), second,
them teach about how to be a good teacher, time management in teaching,
methods of teaching, making lesson plans and practicing through peer
teaching. Other useful subjects are Pronunciation subjects. They teach how
to pronounce English words properly.
During my apprenticeship at Tunas Cemara Kindergarten, my
strengths are that I am able to teach vocabulary with the right
pronunciation, speak clearly, use gestures properly, and keep eye contact.
Also I am patient and confident in teaching the children. On the other hand,
I have weaknesses too, mainly in listening. When I watch and listen to
educational DVDs, it is not enough for me to do it once in order to
understand what they are about. When I listen to the English songs, I must
listen to them from the cassette or CD more than twice before I can write
the lyrics. Moreover, sometimes I also make mistakes in writing the lyrics.
From my apprenticeship, I get so many experiences in teaching, I learn to
handle the children, understand the strategy of teaching, and improve my
confidence. In addition, I also learn some Mandarin.
After finishing my apprenticeship, I can conclude that the
educational system at Tunas Cemara Kindergarten is good. Moreover, I
also conclude that the teaching staff also has the responsibility to reach the
vision and mission of Tunas Cemara.
I have a few suggestions for Tunas Cemara Kindergarten and DIII
English program. Firstly, for Tunas Cemara Kindergarten, I suggest that in
the future they have a language laboratory and invite native speakers of
both English and Mandarin. Hopefully, this way, Tunas Cemara
Kindergarten will be able to maximize the student’s language ability.
develop cooperation with international schools and foreign companies in
Bandung, thus the English use of the students will be maximized and the
