Abstract
Recently, teaching English for young learners becomes more favorable in Indonesia. Many schools starting from pre schools and kindergartens have inserted the English subject as the local content in their curriculum. However, as the preliminary research, it was found that the teachers were lacking of qualification as teachers for EYL. Assuming that microteaching strategy is effective on improving the teachersÔÇÖ language as well as teaching competences, the writer did a quasi experimental research to 18 kindergarten teachers in Tanah Datar Regency. In order to find out the effectiveness, the sample was given pre-test and post test of speaking skill. As the result, based on the output of t-test score with value of Sig. (2-tailed) or P-value = 0.000<<<╬▒ (significance level 0.05), it was concluded that statistically Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. It means there was a siginicant difference of the pre test mean score (14,89) and the post-test mean score (26,7). Therefore the microteaching strategy was effective to improve the Raudhatul Athfal teachersÔÇÖ speaking skill in teaching English for young learners.
