IMPROVING THE GRAMMATICAL ACCURACY OF THE SPOKEN ENGLISH OF INDONESIAN INTERNATIONAL KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS

---

The need to improve the spoken English of kindergarten students
in an international preschool in Surabaya prompted this Classroom Action
Research (CAR). It involved the implementation of Form-Focused Instruction
(FFI) strategy coupled with Corrective Feedback (CF) in Grammar lessons.
Four grammar topics were selected, namely Regular Plural form, Subject
Pronoun, Auxiliary Verbs Do/Does, and Irregular Past Tense Verbs as
they were deemed to be the morpho-syntax which children acquire early in
life based on the order of acquisition in Second Language Acquisition. The
results showed that FFI and CF contributed to the improvement of the spoken
grammar in varying degrees, depending on the academic performance,
personality, and specific linguistic traits of the students. Students with high
academic achievement could generally apply the grammar points taught after
the FFI lessons in their daily speech. Students who were rather talkative
were sensitive to the CF and could provide self-repair when prompted.
Those with lower academic performance generally did not benefit much
from the FFI lessons nor the CF.
Keywords: form-focused instruction, corrective feedback, grammatical accuracy,
kindergarten, teaching English to young learners.
