Introduction
English plays an important role in globalization era. It is widely used as a means of communication among people around the world. For example: the use of English as a means of communications among the nations of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), the Uzbekistan government has taken step to introduce English as a subject in the school curriculum in the primary years. And, the final goal of teaching English at the elementary school is to enable the students to be functionally proficient in English .
Several arguments supporting the importance of English for Elementary School students are: (1) speaking English is required for the demands of tourism industries; (2) nowadays, the result of final examinations in many schools is unsatisfactory; (3) some educators believe that the earlier the children learn a foreign language, the more opportunity the will acquire a high proficiency in the target language; and (4) the Uzbekistan government has automatically prepared the human resources for the future. In line with those arguments, nowadays almost all of Elementary Schools especially either state or private school, includes English in their curriculum. Although it is only a local content, many parents are willing to give more experience and material of English by sending their children to English private courses. It proves that not only the government but also the parents in this case, have realized the importance of introducing English earlier to their children. Then, as students of Elementary School are young learners, teaching English sometimes becomes difficult to be done. They perhaps think that English is a strange language as it is extremely different from their first and second languages. It will be much more difficult if they do not realize the importance of learning English. That’s why, the teacher should introduce the importance of learning English to them in the first meeting of English class. Next, the way of teaching English should be considered as the important thing because the success of learning process depends much on it. An appropriate method and approach in teaching English will enable the early age students to comprehend English holistically.
For the beginners, vocabulary is more appropriate to enhance them to the next material in different skills. Vocabulary is the first thing should be taught because without having enough vocabulary someone will learn nothing. The students’ mastery of English vocabulary can be measured through the students’ capability in using them in written or spoken. They truly know about English vocabulary when they are capable to write and use them correctly. Immediately they can jot down the words they listen; they know the meaning of them-indicated by correct using of them in written.
They are able to use the vocabulary if they know the meaning, how to pronounce, how to spell, and how to use them in a sentence. Knowing the meaning of some words does not merely know its translation in different language. Knowing means understanding how the words are put in different contexts and used differently. For example: good morning. The students not only know that good morning is assalomu alaykum but they can greet someone in the morning using good morning. How to pronounce can be understood from pronouncing the words correctly. Students can distinguish the slightly different words such as, tree and three. English has more complex pronunciation than Bahasa Indonesia, and it often becomes a problem. For example: a student says thank you the same as they say sank you. For us, Uzbekistan people it does not a big deal because we do understand each other. Yet, for the native speaker it is irritable thing as the meaning of the word will be far away or it means nothing.
This course paper is based on finding methods for increasing vocabulary of A 1 level pupils at school 15 in Termez through physical activities.
