ANALISIS KESULITAN BELAJAR BAHASA LAMPUNG PADA ANAK JENJANG SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the difficulties faced by elementary school students in learning Lampung and the factors contributing to them. As a regional language, Lampung plays a crucial role in maintaining the cultural identity of the Lampung people; however, advancements and the influence of globalization have resulted in a significant decline in the number of active speakers, especially among the younger generation. The method used was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observations and interviews with fifth and sixth grade students, teachers, and parents at an elementary school in Lampung that integrates Lampung as local content. The results revealed that students face difficulties in four main aspects: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. These difficulties are influenced by internal factors, such as low motivation and interest in learning, as well as external factors, including the limited use of Lampung in the family environment and the dominance of Indonesian in daily activities. Furthermore, teachers and the school environment play a crucial role in overcoming these obstacles through the implementation of interactive learning methods and the creation of a conducive learning environment. Overall, this research is expected to serve as a reference for teachers, parents, and local governments in designing effective and sustainable learning strategies to support the preservation of the Lampung language in the modern era.
