Teacher Problems Related to Learning Indonesian at School

Abstract

Basically, the Indonesian language teacher's job is not only to provide material to be mastered. Their job is also to make students accustomed to using Indonesian correctly. This article discusses the problems faced by Indonesian language teachers in teaching activities. At least, there are 5 problems faced by teachers in their lessons (1) Indonesian language teaching materials that are too complicated, (2) dynamic language development, (3) influence of mother tongue, (4) lack of attention from other subjects, and (5) ) there is no balance between the teaching process and real life. This problem can be resolved through several steps, such as simplifying Indonesian language teaching materials, establishing clarity between the use of standard and non-standard language, implementing sustainable language construction, support from local subjects, and support from various other social strata.
