Compound Words: Implementation in English Language Teaching

English has been regarded as the first foreign language in Indonesia. Its function is to foster country and nation's development, to build relationships with other countries, and to run foreign policy including as a language used for broader communication in international forums. In relation to this, Indonesia has implemented EFL (English as a foreign language) teaching at almost the school level, starting from elementary to high school. However, because it is only a foreign language, there are many problems found in English language teaching.The problem that appears in the environment of education is a fact about how the English lesson is still often regarded as something that is frightening to students. The various reasons that are often encountered are hard-to-understand lessons, not their daily language, the confusing teacher, lazy to open the dictionary, the boring lessons, the unattractive way of teaching the teacher, and various other reasons. In the end, they are less interestedin their English lessons. We can imagine such boring class conditions during the teaching and learning process. Some are sleepy, and others who are willing to think and do only a few students. Therefore it takes creative learning and active teachers to achieve effective and joyful in English language teaching.In this paper, we will attempt to outline how the relationship between morphological learning as a branch of linguistics with the teaching of English in Indonesia. The topic discussed here is the use of compound words in English language teaching in first-grade of junior high school children. This will be further explained in the sub-chapter of English morphology application and teaching discussions in this section of the paper. So hopefully the results obtained from morphological learning in English teaching in Indonesia can overcome the problems that occur above
