520 |a Many English teachers in Indonesia had difficulty in utilizing instructional media in classrooms. The difficulty was caused by the thought of good media were expensive. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the teacher's preparation and to explain how the teacher utilized the instructional media in the classroom. This study used qualitative case design and employed observation, interview and data analysis to obtain the data. The result of this study showed that the teacher did two kinds of preparation in utilizing the instructional media, reading the materials and choosing the media. In utilizing the media, the teacher utilized the provided media in the school and did not utilize it optimally due to several challenges, such as limitation of time, difficulty in selecting media, lack of media availability, and teacher's negative belief towards instructional media and the system. In conclusion, instructional media utilization was not optimally done by the teacher and it needed to be improved. Therefore, the teacher needed to participate in a training program to optimize the teacher's instructional media utilization. Media merupakan slaah satu hal yang penting guna menciptakan pembelajaran yang efektif, terutama pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar, mengingat karakterisktik anak-anak usia dini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan dan menjelaskan bagaimana seorang guru di sekolah dasar menyiapkan dan menggunakan media pembelajaran di dalam kelas. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kasus kualitatif dan menggunakan observasi, wawancara dan analisis dokumen. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa guru tersebut melakukan dua macam persiapan dalam menggunakan media pembelajaran, yaitu pendalaman materi dan pemilihan media. Dalam penggunaan media pembelajaran, guru tersebut hanya menggunakan media-media yang tersedia di sekolah seperti waktu yang terbatas, sulitnya memilih media yang tepat, terbatasnya media yang tersedia, dan pemikiran negatif guru terhadap sistem yang ada dan media pembelajaran. Sebagai simpulan, mengajar bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar membutuhkan persiapan yang besar, terutama dalam penggunaan media pembelajaran. Karena itu, disarankan bahawa guru bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar sebaiknya memahami prinsip-prinsip mengajar untuk anak usia dini dan prinsip penggunaan media pembelajaran.
