Abstract

Towards 21st century Science learning (chemistry), teachers, especially prospec-tive chemistry teachers are expected to be able to compete in the global era. The effort to compete is to prepare qualified candidates, as well as mastering the con-tent and mastering the delivery of content itself. The results of several years^ ob-servations of PPL-1 (practice teaching field) prospective teachers have limited learning practices- show that prospective teachers/students are still weak. Stu-dents show a limited elaboration of the concepts and the ability to read textbooks in the field of chemistry as well. To help students master, and more easily under-stand the contents of textbooks, a student E-LKM book has been created - based on the student needs and tested on students taking the English Chemistry Course. The E-LKM developed is Scaffolding-based - by assisting in the form of chemi-cal vocabulary/terminology and other difficult vocabulary in the text. The trial re-sults showed that students were enthusiastic about learning - motivated and the results of the ARCS motivation questionnaire showed high scores
