This study aims to enhance elementary school students’ motivation to learn English and to identify the factors contributing to their low motivation. The research is grounded in the need to prepare students for the global era, in which English proficiency is an essential skill from an early age. The study employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observations, learning outcome evaluations, and interviews with English teachers. The findings reveal that students’ low motivation is influenced by perceptions that English is difficult, the lack of engaging teaching methods, limited learning facilities, and students’ weak willingness to learn. The implemented actions—such as using songs, educational games, teaching aids, role-play activities, and interactive communication—significantly increased students’ activeness and motivation. Moreover, the study emphasizes the importance of introducing English at the elementary level, as ages 6–13 represent a critical period for language development. With appropriate external motivation and strong teacher support, English learning becomes more effective, enjoyable, and meaningful. This study recommends that English instruction continue to be implemented in elementary schools through creative teaching methods and sufficient learning facilities

This research is motivated by problems related to obstacles in the ability to master English vocabulary, in which children find it very difficult to memorize English words, the accuracy of pronouncing English vocabulary delivered by the teacher, especially when memorizing vocabulary with more than one syllable as well as the presence of errors or inaccuracies in pronunciation and in answering the intended meaning during English learning activities. The reality found in the field shows that the children’s English vocabulary ability has not yet demonstrated significant success. Out of a total of 12 students, only 4 children have the expected level of ability. The purpose of this study is to describe efforts to improve children’s English vocabulary using the singing method.

This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, and each cycle consists of two meetings. The research was conducted at PAUD An-Nur located in East Pontianak. The improvement actions implemented showed satisfactory results. In Cycle I, children’s ability to pronounce English vocabulary reached 33%, which was still below the Minimum Mastery Criterion (MMC) of 70%. Furthermore, in Cycle II, the results reached 83%, which was already above the MMC. It can be concluded that the singing method is effective in improving children’s English vocabulary.

This study aims to examine the implementation of a differentiated learning model in improving maritime English language competency among maritime college students in Indonesia. The background of this study is based on the maritime world's need for graduates with good English language competency, especially in professional and technical contexts. The approach used was a mixed method, namely a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods within a classroom action research framework implemented over two learning cycles. Data were collected through English language competency tests, observations, and in-depth interviews. The results showed a significant increase in all aspects of maritime English competency. The highest increase occurred in speaking skills at 44.38%, while the lowest increase was in maritime vocabulary comprehension at 30.25%. After the implementation of the differentiated learning model, 78.33% of students were in the "Good" and "Very Good" competency categories. Although in the initial stages of implementation there were challenges in students' adaptation to learning methods that differ from conventional learning, these obstacles were successfully overcome through a project-based learning strategy. This strategy is considered the most effective because it is able to provide an authentic context and approximate the real conditions in the maritime workplace. Thus, it can be concluded that the differentiated learning model has proven effective in improving students' maritime English language competency. This study recommends the broader implementation of similar models in English language learning programs at maritime institutions.
