I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the problem
Nowadays, English takes very important roles in education. English is not only studied by junior or senior high school students but also by young learner such as elementary and kindergarten students. English as Foreign Language is implemented as the compulsory subject to learn in Indonesia. The aim of the implementation is to achieve the informational level of literacy which expects students to be able to use English to access accumulated knowledge and use English in informal and formal contexts. Therefore, they have learned English from they are young. English is a popular subject in playgroup or kindergarten presently.
Unfortunately, beyond the implementation, the fact that not all pupils enjoy learning English occurs. Besides the students should face new language for them to learn, the way of teaching often existing which is purely only transferring knowledge takes part in forming the stressful environment to students especially for young learner. Considering the boredom atmosphere experienced by young learner during the teaching and learning process, the knowledge cannot be received effectively. Moreover, the goal of the teaching and learning process will not be achieved.
To cover this problem, young learner teacher is expected to find a creative strategy to apply in teaching and learning process. Teacher is challenged to be able to bring an attractive strategy in class. Moreover, one of the biggest challenges facing teachers of young learners is classroom management. There are some ways to make an attractive teaching and learning process real. Teacher can use classroom management strategies to teach and involve students to learn English. Besides, it is an appropriate strategy to implement in teaching English to young learner in Indonesia.
B. Identification of the problem
An inappropriate strategy implemented in teaching English as Foreign Language to young learner students often comes as a problem. The way of teaching which usually occurs in class such as teacher-centered that is fully transferring knowledge without considering attention span and then followed by assignment or practice makes young learner bored during the teaching and learning process. The boredom environment experienced by young learner, therefore, takes part in how successful the young learner receives the lesson. Besides, young learner has some characteristics that are not had by adult such as love to play, musical, have an egocentric, have a short span of concentration, physically active, imaginative, curious and have great capacity of learning.
C. Limitation of the problem
By using classroom strategies, teacher can teach effectively. It is because teacher knows the problem according to the character of the children and the situation at that time so that teacher can use an appropriate strategy. It is provide enjoyable learning environment in transferring the material. Therefore the major focus on this paper is how to implement classroom strategies in teaching English as foreign Language to young learner.
D. Formulation of the problem
Regarding the fact that in teaching young learner teacher needs an attractive strategy to apply, this paper wants to address a question which is how are the implementations of classroom strategies in teaching English as Foreign Language to young learner?
E. Objective of the paper

All of the strategies for teaching and learning activity also consider about its benefit. Therefore, this paper also states the benefit of using classroom strategies as an attractive teaching and a fun way.
F. Benefits of the paper
This paper hopefully can be useful for teachers or teacher candidates as a part of creating an enjoyable learning environment in teaching English as Foreign Language to young learner.
II. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
As stated by Helena Agustin in her paper entitled Competence, Process, and Assessment Standards: Towards autonomy in ELT, there are four literacy levels implemented in Curriculum Based Competence. They are performative, functional, informational, and epistemic level. Performative level is implemented in Elementary School, whereas functional level is applied in Junior High School. She goes to say that informational level is implemented in Senior High School whereas epistemic level is applied in University.
Since this paper focuses on the young learner, therefore performative level as the performing level implemented in Elementary School will be discussed deeper. According to Helena Agustin, in the performative level, learners are expected to:
• use English to access accumulated knowledge.
• use English in informal and formal contexts.
By considering the goal to achieve in teaching Elementary School students, teacher should be able to apply appropriate technique and strategy to manage good classroom. However, it is not an easy job for teacher. Besides focusing on the goal to reach, teacher should also pay attention on students. As an example, teacher should be able to comprehend the characteristics of young learner. By understanding the characteristics of young learner, teacher can maximize the success of managing the classroom. As cited in www.ierg.net, young learners generally have some characteristics, such as:
• They are interested in learning activities
• They need opportunities for self-expression
• They want to take individual responsibility for learning and progress towards targets
• They have short attention span.
The understanding both goal to achieve in Elementary School grade and general characteristics of the students, teacher can start to find, choose and apply
an appropriate strategy to apply in managing classroom in teaching EFL to Senior young learner. According to Linse 2005: 187, one of the biggest challenges facing teachers of young learners is classroom management but teacher can use classroom strategies to manage the classroom.
III. DISCUSSION
A. Classroom Management Strategies
There are some strategies in order to make a fun and effective classroom, which are:
1. Establish clear rules at the beginning of the year
At the first time teacher meets with the students in the classroom, it is better to make the rules between teacher and students. It should be made by both of the teacher and the students. It is better because young learner will appreciate knowing what your expectations are. If they have known about which activity is not allowed and which is allowed so that they will try to behave well.
Whenever possible, the rules should be consistent among different teachers. It is importance because young learner has an imitation character. Although they have known the rules, but if there are some friends act in a bad way, young learner will easily follow their bad attitude. If all off the teacher and students in every class have the same rules, teacher will easily give a warning if one of the students break the rules. Besides, the consequences for breaking the rules should also be consistent among the faculty and staff.
Communicate the rules to learners as well as their parents are also an important role in learning process. Young learner has low ability in catching an announcement so that it is better to give the announcement in two ways. The first way is orally. It is done in the classroom together with other students. In this part, teacher can explain more about each rule. And the second way is giving the rules in a written form. It is given to the parents so that parents will object a warning that is given to their children.
2. Teach the concept of appropriate and inappropriate behavior
The terms good behavior and bad behavior are relative and can be problematic. Make sure you comment on the appropriateness of your learners’ behavior and not on the children themselves. So that tries to use the language carefully. For example, Tedi is running in the classroom. Teacher should give the comment on Tedi’s attitude not on the Tedi his self. The comment should be “Tedi, running in the classroom is not good.” The comment is not “Tedi, you are bad.” Correcting behavior and providing feedback is important. The feedback should be specific and related to what they are doing.
3. Offer rewards judiciously
Rewards are given for good work. It is important to instill in the learners some sense of pride in their own accomplishment rather than a reliance on external gratification. But, teacher must think twice to give a reward for their students. They should think about the positive and negative effect of the reward given. Issue of candy or chocolate as a regular reward is not good for children. Their parents may forbid their children to eat candy or chocolate because both of them can damage their teeth. One of the examples of good rewards is giving a “star” that is made by kertas emas. It is cheap and students will be happy to have one of the “starts”.
4. Plan more than you think you will need
Always be sure to have enough activities to keep children engaged, paying attention, or on-task. Nothing leads to chaos more quickly than children who don’t have anything to do. One of the characters of children is do not have long attention spans and easily get bored so teacher must have many plans of activity to fulfill the learning process. Not every child is going to enjoy or learn from the same type of activities. In this case, teacher should have a trick in solving this problem. There are some children who like in a noisy activities but the other may like a quiet activities. So that teacher is better to use large group, small group and individual activities one after another. It is because it can cover the children’s entire characteristic.
5. Know when to use L1
It is in the English class, so minim using the first language. Teacher should use first language only in emergency situations such as there is an earthquake or a fire. The language of instruction should stick in English because it is the effective method to improve students’ vocabulary. Although teacher speaks very slowly and gives a demonstration, it helps students in understanding the English.
B. Two types of problematic behavior
There are two types of problematic behavior in young learner which are children who are disruptive and children who turn inward. To solve those two types of children behavior, there are some approaches to working with problematic behavior. They are dealing with anger, strategies to help children control impulses, thinking about inward children and building on strengths.
1. Dealing with anger
It’s important for children to know that it’s okay to feel angry but not okay to allow their anger to explode. There are many different reasons children feel angry such as tension at home, disappointment, frustration, feeling cornered or attacked emotionally. Try to empathize with a child’s feelings and show the empathy. At the same time you can bring a broader perspective and calmness to the situation that may enable the child to think more clearly.
2. Strategies to help children control impulses
Teacher should help students to acknowledge the problem. Consider that expectations at home may be different from those at school. Help children understand what is expected of them in the classroom and how they can meet those expectations. Besides, observe the children if there is a problem between children. When you speak to a child once about a specific undesirable behavior, make it clear that if he or she chooses to repeat that behavior, there will be consequences.
3. Thinking about inward children
Children who turn inward tend to fall between the cracks because they make so little noise. A particular quiet child may barely tune in to classroom activities. Sometimes inward children get caught up in a cycle unsure of what to do and how to do it even when they are willing to try. The steps teacher takes to show a child you’re interested the efforts you make to bridge the gap, whether it is a meeting of minds or of smiles may positively affect the child not only this year, but for years and years to come.
4. Building on strengths
If teachers are having difficulty with a particular student, try to step back and observe her as if teachers have never seen her before. Write down as many positive qualities or strengths as you can. Note a few behaviors you wish could change. Concentrate on only rewarding the positive for a day or two. Keep the positive reinforcement going as long as you can, then choose one of the behaviors you’re hoping you can change.
IV. CONCLUSION
A. Summary
English as Foreign Language is one of the subjects to learn for young learner in Indonesia. The aim of the implementation is to achieve the performative level of performance which is expected students to be able to use English to access accumulated knowledge and use English in informal and formal contexts.
Unfortunately, beyond the implementation, the fact that not all pupils enjoy learning English occurs. Besides the students should face new language for them to learn, the way of teaching often existing which is purely only transferring knowledge takes part in forming the stressful environment to students. The stressful environment, therefore, takes part in how successful the students receive the lesson. Students who are already in stressful and boredom environment will not be easy to receive the lesson. If they are bored, unconsciously, they will refuse the lesson.
Realizing that fact, teacher should find a strategy to attract students’ attention to learn EFL by managing the classroom. Moreover, some strategies are used in order to motivate students in joining the learning process.
B. Implication
This paper will give more information about using strategies in managing classroom for young learner. It is importance because it can influence their motivation in joining the learning process.
C. Suggestion
The classroom strategies for young learner are an effective way to increase students’ ability in English so that the writer suggests to the teachers or teachers candidate to use classroom strategies if they are going to teach young learner.

have you ever heard about The Queen of South Ocean?
Nyai Roro Kidul
(The Queen of South Ocean)
Once upon a time, in a kingdom there was a beautiful princess named Kadita. Because of her beauty, she was called Dewi Srengenge which means The Beautiful Sun. Her father was King Munding Wangi. Although he had a beautiful daughter he was always unhappy because he always expected to have a son. The King decided to marry Dewi Mutiara, and he had a son from her. He was very happy. Dewi Mutiara wanted her son to become a king in the future so she might make sure for it. Dewi mutiara came to the king and asked him to send his daughter away. Of course, the king disagreed. "It is ridiculous, I will not allow any body doing such cruel thing to my daughter", said King Munding Wangi. When she heard the answer, Dewi mutiara smiled and said a sweet thing until the king has not anger anymore. However, she kept her bad intention deep in her heart.
In the morning before the sun raised, Dewi Mutiara sent her maid to call a black magician. She wanted the black magician to curse Kadita, her step daughter. " I want her beautiful body full with scabies and itch. If you succeeded I will reward you with the present you never thought before", said Dewi Mutiara. The black magician did the queen’s order. At night, Kadita’s body has been fulled by scabies and itch. When she waked up, she found her body was smell stinky and have an ulcer all over her body. The beautiful princess cried and did not know what to do.
When The King heard, he was very sad. He invited many physician to cure her daughter’s illness. Day by the day nobody could cure her daughter. He realized that her daughter’s illness was not an ordinary illness and someone must send a curse or magic spell. His problem became more difficult when the Queen Dewi Mutiara forced him to send away her daughter. “Your daughter will bring a bad luck to whole country”, said Dewi Mutiara. The king did not want her daughter became a bad rumour in whole country. Finally he must agree to send her only daughter to leave the country.
The poor princess went alone, she did not know where she should go. She almost could not cry anymore. She had a noble heart. She did not have any bad feeling with her step mother, instead she always asked the God to accompany her passed her suffer. Almost seven days and seven nights she has walked until she came to south ocean. She looked at the ocean. It was so clean and clear, unlike other ocean which have a blue or green colour. She jumped onto the water and swim. Suddenly when the south ocean water touched her skin there was a miracle happened. Her ulcer has gone and there was no sign that she has ever had a scabies or itch. Even more she became more beautiful than before. She not only has a power to command whole of the south ocean, but also she became a fairy called Nyai Roro Kidul or The Queen of South Ocean who lived forever.
(The Queen of South Ocean)
Once upon a time, in a kingdom there was a beautiful princess named Kadita. Because of her beauty, she was called Dewi Srengenge which means The Beautiful Sun. Her father was King Munding Wangi. Although he had a beautiful daughter he was always unhappy because he always expected to have a son. The King decided to marry Dewi Mutiara, and he had a son from her. He was very happy. Dewi Mutiara wanted her son to become a king in the future so she might make sure for it. Dewi mutiara came to the king and asked him to send his daughter away. Of course, the king disagreed. "It is ridiculous, I will not allow any body doing such cruel thing to my daughter", said King Munding Wangi. When she heard the answer, Dewi mutiara smiled and said a sweet thing until the king has not anger anymore. However, she kept her bad intention deep in her heart.
In the morning before the sun raised, Dewi Mutiara sent her maid to call a black magician. She wanted the black magician to curse Kadita, her step daughter. " I want her beautiful body full with scabies and itch. If you succeeded I will reward you with the present you never thought before", said Dewi Mutiara. The black magician did the queen’s order. At night, Kadita’s body has been fulled by scabies and itch. When she waked up, she found her body was smell stinky and have an ulcer all over her body. The beautiful princess cried and did not know what to do.

He realized that her daughter’s illness was not an ordinary illness and someone must send a curse or magic spell. His problem became more difficult when the Queen Dewi Mutiara forced him to send away her daughter. “Your daughter will bring a bad luck to whole country”, said Dewi Mutiara. The king did not want her daughter became a bad rumour in whole country. Finally he must agree to send her only daughter to leave the country.

global warming
THE WAYS TO GET ENJOY ENVIRONMENT
Have you ever heard about global warming? I think all of people in the world should have heard about global warming because global warming is one of the problems that is newest today. Not only the old people but also young people and may be children, talk about it. There are many seminars that was hold to discuss and to solve this problem, but until now it has not been way to solve global warming. What do you know about global warming? Okay, I will give you more information about global warming. In his article, Joseph Fourier informs us that global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid 20-th century and its projected continuation.
Global warming happens because human activities that make greenhouse gasses increase in atmosphere. There are 30 scientists state that because of greenhouse effect, the ocean surface will increase continually. The greenhouse appears because of the solar radiation. Solar is the source all of the energy in the earth. Why it can make global warming? Because the energy from solar touch the earth surface. There, the radiation of the solar changes into heat that can make the earth warm. Then the earth surface will absorb the radiation (methane, carbon dioxide). So, the heat will be saved in the earth surface. All of the gasses has a function as a glass in the greenhouse. Actually, greenhouse is important, without greenhouse, the earth will be very cold. But, because all of the gasses are trapped and gathered continually, it makes the earth warmer and it is called global warming.
Global warming has many effects. Because of the climate changes, many ice mountains are melt. As a result, the continents are narrow. The extreme climate changes can increase the ocean surface and also can give bad result for human being. For example, it can make flood, storm, and fire that will endanger human being. If there is disaster, people and animals must be evacuated to another place. As usual, there are many diseases such as fever, skin deseases, etc. Still the effect of climate changes that is related with heat. Today, in the afternoon, the earth is very warm. It is also can give bad result for people, they can be attacked heat stroke and death. On the other hand, at night is very cold.
Farmers and fishermen is the person who feel the effect of climate changes. For farmers, when they will begin to plant, it depens on the climate. If the climate is not regular, it makes their plants are not fertile and makes their harvest unfailing. For fishermen, global warming gives bad effect because most of fishes only can survive in the cold water. Whereas, global warming makes the water in the ocean warm. Fish that can not survive will die and the fishermen can not catch many fishes again. Finally, all of people in the world will die because of hunger.
The other effect of global warming is the ecosystem changes. It means that the ecosystem in our live is not balance again. The results are many animals and plants that can not survive will die. So, they can be extinct later. The dirty environment and air pollution also can increase the effect of global warming. Another reason, it can produce disease such as asthma, allergy, heart disease and lung disease.
We know that global warming has given us many bad effects. We get and looking for the solution to solve this problem. We can help to reduce global warming with this ways :
1. Reduce and Recycle
Buying product with minimal packaging (plastic, paper, etc) to reduce waste. Whenever you can, recycle your waste such as plastic, paper, glass, etc.
2. Use less heater and air conditioner
You can do by reducing the amount of energy you need to heat and cool your home. Whenever you can, add the air circulation at your home. Turn off or turn down your heater or your air conditioner when you are sleeping.
3. Drive less
When you go out near your house, you should go on foot or by bicycle. When you go out with motor cycle or car, make sure that your car or motor cycle are running efficiently. Because it can reduce the produce of carbon dioxide.
4. Use the off switch
Reduce global warming by turning off lights whenever you go out or sleep. Make sure that you have turned off your electronics if you go out. Using lights only if you need.
5. Plant tree
By planting trees you can reduce carbon dioxide because the tress especially young trees will absorb carbon dioxide. You can get fresh air from the oxigen.
6. Bindeshwar Pathak from Sulabh International Social Service Association informs us that people shit can reduce global warming. He made an organic system to change people shit into an energy that can help people to cook and produce electricity energy.
In my opinion, I do not think far away about global warming, it does not mean that I do not care with our environment. I think we only need to do “the small changes” that we can do in our around environment. For example, we plant tree in front of our house then we get more oxigen, fresh air, if there is fruit we can eat. It can help to reduce the temperature even though it is not in global. But if all of people do it, global warming can be reduced.
