Abstract

This study aims at finding strategies and problems or challanges that teachers face in teaching English vocabulary to young learners. This study is qualitative in nature trying to describe in larger detail of the phenomenon under specific circumstances. In collecting data, this study utilized observation and interview where the respondents were from three elementary schools namely SDN 1 Sakra, SDN 3 Sakra and SDN 3 Kabar. The result found that the English teachers of the three schools did not used strategies elaborated in conventional book, rather they used their own teaching preferences which involved three learning theory: behaviorism which stresses on stimulus and response; cognitivism which focuses on the inner mental activities (the processes of knowing) such as thinking, memory, knowing, and problem-solving; and constructivism which focuses on teaching students with adaptation of surrounding objects which are widely available around them. Further, the result showed that there were three sources of problems i.e. deriving from teachers, students and schools.
