Abstract

Speaking is one of at least four skills that must be mastered when learning English, but its teaching often encounters many obstacles and has its challenges, especially in teaching English to young learners. Therefore, teachers must be able to evolve with the times to create innovative and high-quality learning. Teachers’ strategies to teach students speaking skills are very important to overcome students’ obstacles in learning to speak. This research is aimed to explore the challenges faced by the teachers and the teachers’ strategies in teaching English-speaking skills to young learners at the elementary level. Participants in this study were 3 English teachers. A case study design was used in this study and the data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews. The data from these two instruments were analyzed qualitatively. This research has found several challenges faced by teachers in teaching speaking to young learners such as lack of vocabulary, missing pronunciation, problems with students’ self-confidence, and speaking in line. Then, many strategies are applied by the teachers in teaching speaking to young learners such as discussion, games, describing pictures, and role-play. The researcher hopes that this research can serve as material for reflection for teachers that in determining learning strategies must be adapted to the material, conditions, and also the students’abilities so that they can be followed by the students.
