In pre-school education, some PAUD and TPA have already introduced English even though there are only a few introductions but some have not provided English language material at all. English language training for TPA students is important to do to prepare children to learn English lessons they will get in elementary school and it can be given as knowledge for children. In Dusun Mojosari, English language has not become one of the regular learning menus due to the limited human resources of existing teachers.
