1. INTRODUCTION

            Nowadays, English is become spread out in the society even in the school. Everybody have to be able in English, even in the school or in the work place. Beside they are also need to their future since English become an international language anywhere. That’s all the reason why we have to be prepared from now and in the young age, like: children. Children have to learn English in the school, because they still fresh to learn many things. Actually, teaching English for children is not easy. We have to look for the right materials and lessons for them. Even though children are a good learner and like to learn, especially about here-and-now things, but they have to give the right materials and lessons to attract and interest them to learn English. They also easy to get bored when learn something, so the right materials and lessons will decide the result of the teaching-learning process. They like to learn about what they see, hear and feel (around them) and they like learn while playing. So through this lesson, we try to look for the right materials for teaching English for children. We try to give the lessons that appropriate with children that are fun, colourful and attractive lessons. We hope that the children’s skills in English will improve through these lessons. In this case, we try to offer an interesting way to teach them that is through website. We also choose the right website to use by them that is website that consists of many fun, interesting, attractive, innovative, and creative things for children. Actually, this is a new way in teaching-learning process even for children. We also need to prepare computer application to make the teaching-learning process run successfully. We also need to choose the right website to support it. The website should have potential of language learning, fit with the learner’s age, authentic, have the meaning focus, practical, give positive impact, have good credibility, and also up-to-date. We should think about those things because it is important to support the teaching-learning process.

 

 

2. COURSE INFORMATION

            We try to design a material for a class period of 45 minutes. First of all, we choose children from first grade of Elementary School as our subject and we try to teach ‘vocabulary’ to them. The topic is “Our Face”. First, teacher will explain some explanation about what they are going to do in class. Then, teacher will make sure that the students understand about the explanation. After that, the students are asked to do the exercise that is matching the vocabularies of body (eyes, ears, etc.) with the picture and we will give them some other exercises to check their ability in understanding the materials. We choose the materials because we think that it’s easy for the first grade elementary student. It’s also consisting of colourful and fun things in the materials. We think that it will interest the children.

 

3. TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS

            We use ‘website’ in the teaching-learning process. We will prepare some computers according to the students in the class. Each student will use one computer, so that they can try to use it. Actually, we will prepare it before the class, so that when the students come to the computer lab, they can use the computer and the online website for the activity. It’s not taking a long time and it’s also making the teacher begin the teaching-learning process easier.

 

4. WEBSITE EVALUATION

            http://www.learnenglish.org.uk/kids/flash/activities/lbclown/clown.html

1. Language learning potential

            We think that the website appropriate for the children. It’s consisting of fun activities, colourful background and also many things that the teacher can use for the teaching-learning process for children in class. It’s also consisting any other skills practice for children, like: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

2. Learner fit

            The website is also appropriate for the learner’s age as our subject that is first-grade elementary student. As we mention before that the website consisting of many fun activities, colourful background and many creative things for teacher’s guide in teaching-learning process.

3. Authenticity

            The all part of the website is almost use audio-visual aids, like: pictures, video, sounds, colours, etc.

4. Meaning focus

            The focus of the website is for children as the target audience. It’s the reason why the website is made in those things (full of colours, pictures, and also sounds).

5. Practicality

            The website is easy to open. We just need to have an internet connection, so we can open the website. We just write the name of the website and then browse it until it will open. Then, choose the part that you want to open and open it. There are many pages that consist of many fun games, activities, and lessons for children. The students also just need to click using the mouse to do the activities in the website. If they want to know the result, they just need to see in the result score. And if they want to repeat the activities, they just reset and repeat the same activities like they have done before. The continuously of the lessons will make the students understand and remember the lessons easier.

6. Positive impact

            The topic of the website, they use the materials according to the children ability. The website chooses the materials based on the target audience. Actually, there are many topic, games and activities for children. We can choose it according our needs.

7. Up-to-date

            The website is actually very up-to-date, because the creator always updates the activities and the website continuously.

8. Credibility

            The copyright issues, we think that the creator uses the lessons and the materials according to the curriculum in the society.
