Abstract

Teaching the English language to young learners at the end of the pandemic is a bit challenging for the English teacher because he has to introduce the target language in several different ways.  The way that the English teacher is supposed to practice is by implementing his linguistics knowledge. They have to be learned by a language teacher because teaching the language is not only about communication. A language teacher must apply linguistics knowledge when he is teaching language, especially teaching the English language. However, an English teacher who practices his linguistics knowledge to teach young learners is rarely found during the pandemic. This research aimed to investigate the English teacher’s linguistics knowledge in teaching young English learners during the pandemic. This research employed a case study as a part of a qualitative design which included an interview and teaching video of the elementary English teacher. The result revealed that the English teacher only understood and practised three sub-fields of linguistics; phonology, morphology, and semantics in his English classroom during the pandemic.  This research’s findings suggest enriching the English teachers’ linguistics knowledge and practising that linguistics knowledge appropriately, especially in teaching young Indonesian learners.
