the The Implementation of the Demonstration Method in English Language Teaching at Kalaodi Elementary School, East Tidore District, Tidore Island Regency

Abstract

English language learning is currently being widely implemented at the elementary school level, including in North Maluku, particularly in Tidore Islands City. English at the elementary school level plays an important role in developing students’ communication skills. However, many schools still face difficulties in teaching English due to the lack of effective learning methods. This community service activity aimed to introduce a simple learning model by implementing the demonstration method in English learning for elementary school students at SD Negeri Kalaodi, Tidore Timur District. The activity was carried out through several stages, including the introduction of basic vocabulary, pronunciation practice, visual demonstrations using teaching aids, and simulation activities. The results of the activity showed that students became more active, confident, and able to pronounce basic English vocabulary correctly. Teachers also gained new insights into the use of the demonstration method in classroom learning. Therefore, the demonstration method can be considered an effective approach to improve English learning at the elementary school level.
