INTRODUCTION

1. Background
In this era, English is also known as an international language that is so indispensable.

skill to master English is supported by the existence of English subjects that have begun to be
introduced in schools, as well as English courses or tutoring institutions that have increasingly
mushroomed in various places, especially in urban areas. In general, learning a language such as
English for children of elementary school age is very good because at that age, their ability to
learn a language is faster.
Learning guidance is a process of providing assistance or help for both individuals and
groups by one or more mentors who have expertise in this field in making choices. Adjustment
and solving learning problems related to changes in behavior as a result of experience, practice
and stimulation. The decision to enroll children in a course or tutoring institution is the right
decision for children. It is there that they can gain more linguistic knowledge that the teacher did
not have time to teach at school.
Elementary school education is the beginning of the introduction to the culture that exists
in Indonesia. Often elementary school education becomes an interesting thing to learn for
children and the relationship of technological developments in elementary school children is the
ease of information obtained and the information conveyed is enough to be interesting and easy
to learn so that it makes children more interested in learning. The purpose of technological
developments in the field of introducing Indonesian culture among elementary school children is

cultures of the district city province Indicators. Explaining the importance of unity in diversity.

computers, and laptops provides an opportunity for each student to access learning materials
presented in an interactive form which is expected to achieve success in gaining knowledge that
has not existed before. With the development of technology rapidly and evenly, there are many
sectors or things that make learning easier and more interesting, starting from information
technology, industrial technology and the development of large information. The education
sector is one of the things that is affected by the changing procedures or media for delivering
learning from conventional learning done by reading a medium such as books, newspapers,
magazines to something that is learned using digital information technology that is easy and
