Abstract

The research aims at utilizing contextual-based educational game tools (APE) for early childhood language learning in kindergarten at Ternate City and some obstacles faced in early childhood language learning. The subjects were teachers and students at Alkhairat Skep Kindergarten and Immanuel Kindergarten in Ternate. Instruments of collecting data were observation, interview and documentary methods. Furthermore, data was analyzed qualitatively using the Miles and Huberman Interaction Model. The result showed that educational game tools available in lkhairat Skep kindergarten and Immanuel kindergarten in Ternate in relation to language learning are quite good and in general are adequate in accordance with the Norms of Standard Procedures and Criteria (NSPK) both indoor and outdoor. Teachers in both groups A and B use educational game tools and APE mixed materials available in schools to develop students’ competence. Some various educational game tools used are picture books, flannel words and letters, word cards, drawing cards, puzzles, finger puppets, interactive CDs that support children's language development. Besides, teachers have followed appropriate procedures including stages of planning, implementation and evaluation as stated in daily lesson plan (RPPH). On the other hand, several obstacles encountered, among others, teachers have not been able to develop homemade/APE natural resources that are adjusted to children development stage or class level and teachers are only focused on one aspect of the development.
