INTRODUCTION
some schools, English is also used as the medium to teach some subjects such as
math, science, and computer science. While studying those subjects students also
acquired some vocabulary related to those subjects. Moreover, it can be quite dif-
ficult for teachers to use an effective teaching technique, thus they need to be very
aware of "How and What to teach to students." Teaching any subject in a scien-

ing of each material that has been taught. For this reason, the content language in-
tegrated learning (CLIL) method is the right method to use. CLIL is one of the
learning approaches that combine language and content approaches, where a sec-
ond or foreign language is not only used as a language in instruction learning but
also as a very important tool for building knowledge. Moreover, it also stated that

One of the most interesting benefits of CLIL is its ability to increase lan-
world academic contexts. This not only strengthens communicative language de-
velopment but also encourages critical thinking and cognitive engagement as stu-
dents grapple with complex, high-level subject material. CLIL students should ex-
plore the relationship between language use and lexical richness, accuracy, and
way, CLIL offers the dual benefit of building content knowledge and higher-order
cognitive abilities.
However, there are some challenges in teaching using the CLIL method.
teachers with the skills and knowledge necessary to implement CLIL effectively is
critical to its success. Quality CLIL teaching requires specific pedagogical strate-
gies that balance language and content mastery. Teachers must master techniques
tions that offer classes, especially for bilingual students. One of the institutions is
Efata Learning Center. In Efata Learning Center the learning methods and ap-
proaches follow the school of the students. Moreover, CLIL is the most method
that used. The researcher, herself is a teacher in Efata Learning Center. The re-
searcher often uses CLIL method in the class. The research wants to know what
are the challenges and how is the experience when teaching using CLIL method.
Moreover, the researcher wants to know what are the challenges faced by English
teachers when teaching using the CLIL method, since most of the previous re-
search focuses on the three subjects. In this research, the researcher wants to know
the challenges of teaching young learners using CLIL method in informal educa-

As explained by Aliaga (2008), when putting the CLIL approach into prac-

the aims pursued. Many varied practices exist throughout Europe regarding CLIL
taught, the number of hours taught using the CLIL program, and the methods and
subjects taught, from storytelling to geography units, among others. Wolff (2007)

2.3.3. Assessment
Assessment in CLIL teaching primary level follows the principles for good
assessment practice valid for teaching young learners in any context. However,
CLIL assessment differs from regular assessment in several ways. In CLIL, as-
sessment is dual focused on language and content, CLIL assessment needs to ac-
count for the goals and objectives of two different subjects, including knowledge,
competence, skills, attitude, and behaviour, for both language and content as com-

Despite the numerous benefits that CLIL brings, there are some implementa-
tion problems for this method. One of the main difficulties for CLIL is to have
teachers who have expertise in the subject area of instructions. The other difficulty
is the “insufficient teaching resources”. Harrop (2020) also pointed out the prob-
lem with a shortage of qualified teachers who have expertise in both the language
popularity around the world, Li et al. (2020) conducted a study to explore the cur-
riculum development for this learning method. Their study indicated a lack of
support and material for this learning method. Indeed, curriculum development is
the key to having a high-quality language learning program. The key idea from
plinary contain both the language and the content; 2) the development process
should be interconnecte.
As learners children are often more enthusiastic and lively. They want to
please their teacher than their peer group. They will have a go at an activity even
when they don’t quite understand why or how. However they also lose interest

young learners are the students of elementary school who are at grade four up to
grade six. Their ages range from ten to twelve years old. While according to Pur-
waningsih, young learners are learners in Elementary school aging 9-10 years old
who are learning English as foreign language. According to Linse & Nunan
(2005) “young learners are defining as children between the age five until
twelve”. Young learners are cover age around five years olds until twelve in for-
mal school.
From those three statements, young learners is a students who are studying in

(2003) argues that the continuing growth of teaching English to young learners
brings a number of challenges. Starting to learn English at an earlier age may not

for young learners need an awareness of how children think and learn, skills and

Based on the explanation above, it is not appropriate to teach the structure of lan-
guage or grammar to young learners. Because, they still learn through concrete
experience. Moreover, McKay (2006) also stated that young learners regarding

are commonly used in qualitative research they are “observation, interview, docu-
observation, and documentation to collect the data. The interview is a method that
widely used for obtaining data. It is a way to gather data on subjects’ opinion, be-
liefs, and feelings about the situation in their own words. The interview will be
done to teachers who teach lower grades as mentioned before. The researcher will
do an interview with 4 teachers and it had ten questions. The researcher uses semi-
questions when there are unsatisfactory answers. From these interviews the re-
learning using CLIL method. The interview will deliver in bahasa Indonesia. Fur-
thermore, because this is a semi-structured interview the researcher will give max-
imum time for each participant about 10 minutes. Moreover, the observation and
documentation will be taken before the interview. The researcher will do the ob-
servation twice, first to know the situation of the class and second to know the
challenges of the teachers when teaching English in the class. On the other hand,
the researcher want to know the worksheet that is used as the documentation. It
will be used as the consideration of giving the question before the interview.
