INTRODUCTION
Course Design of EYL is the elective course that must be taken by the students at the fifth semester in English Education Department of Unsika.This course explained lesson plan, learning strategies and techniques to teach English for young learners.As we already know that teaching Course Design of EYL by using lecturing method, make students lack of motivation, bored, sleepy, and low confident.Therefore, the researchers applied Edmodo as mediated to teach Course Design of EYL.Edmodo is one of the important media can help the students to understand the material in the classroom, especially Course Design of EYL.
Edmodo is a solution to help the teacher in conveying and explaning the materials in modern way that more fun and interesting.One of the modern ways to convey and explain the material can be use flipped classroom technique which moving traditional learning to modern.Bergmann and Sams in Basal (2015: 2) argue that: a flipped classroom can be described as a setting where that "which is traditionally done in class is now done at home, and that which is traditionally done as homework is now completed in class".Using flipped classroom technique, the students will get the material before they come to the class and it needs a modern media which utilize educational social network.It called Edmodo.Edmodo is an application that designed in education system."Edmodo is global education network that helps connect all learners with the people and resources needed to reach their full potential" (www.Edmodo.com).In other word, Edmodo is a full featured social learning platform designed to connect and collaborate within the educational environment.Edmodo is easily installed on computers, laptops and android.It is the social media network which collaborates and connect, share content and get access homework, school notices and grades.The teachers use Edmodo as an online blackboard and inbox to post polls, quizzes, and assignment guidelines and invite student to submit finished assignment (Evenddy and Hamer, 2016).For the student, edmodo can collaborate their project, asking questions and working together.Cauley (2013) from "A guide to Explain it all'' (IT Babble.com) in Monalisa and Ardi (2013, p.221) stated that one of the educational website that takes the ideas of social network and makes it appropriate for a classroom is Edmodo.Edmodo helps students and teachers to connect one and another by sharing ideas, problem, and useful tips.By using Edmodo, students can get help from the entire class, and teachers can assign and grade work.
In addition, Edmodo allows parents to join and to check the progress in a study of their teach English to young learners effectively.According to Graves (2000), the course development process involves defining the context, articulating beliefs, conceptualizing content, formulating goals and objectives, assessing needs, organizing the course, developing materials and designing an assessment plan.
Teaching English for Young Learner (EYL) is guiding and facilitating students of 5-12 years old about their activities in learning, understanding, knowing and comprehending ideas, attitude, skills and information of English as a foreign language learners (Prasetya, 2011).Therefore, in teaching EYL, teacher should has strategy and creativity in making fun and enjoyed learning situation.According to Suyanto (2007), the characteristic of young learner are egocentric, imaginative, active and cheerful.Thus, Course Design of EYL is very needed to teach English for young learner.
It provides practical ideas on how to approach and plan for young learner courses as well as materials and ideas for specific activities.It will develop the awareness of what children aged 5 to 12 are capable of, what they enjoy and what strategies work best to motivate them to learn.In this course, the student will learn planning for young learner classes, it is about creating optimal conditions for learning, lesson planning, presenting and practicing language, using a course book, storytelling, games & activities, projects based learning.Therefore, to make the interesting learning the researcher use Edmodo as educational social network to make the students enjoy the course because they use educational social network to get understand more.

METHODOLOGY
A mixed method was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data.It is a procedure for collecting, analyzing, and "mixing" both methods in a single study or a series of studies to understand a research problem (Creswell, 2002).In answering those two research questions, the researcher used test (pre-test and post-test) to collect quantitative data and also used interview as data gathering technique to collect qualitative data.In quantitative data, the researcher used a quasi-experiment method with one experiment class and one control class.
The population of this research is the fifth semester students of university in Karawang, approximately 150 students.The sample of this research is 50 students.Those students were divided into two classes, 25 students in 5-D as controlled group and 25 students in 5-F as experimental group.The research instruments are test and guidance interview.Test was applied in experiment and controlled group to find score of students' achievement and guidance interview was categorized into 15 questions to know the student's perception in learning course design of EYL by using flipped classroom through Edmodo.The validity and reliability instrument test were conducted before the researcher administered the test to both classes.Before analyzing the hypotheses, the researcher had to analyze the normality of the data.This analysis is used to see whether the data got in the research normally distributed or not.The researcher used the SPSS V.16 for windows to test the normality and homogeneity tests.Next, the researcher used Independent T-test formula in SPSS V.16 to calculate the data.It is because the researcher wanted to find out the degree of significant different between the growth score of pre-test and post-test from both classes also between the achievement in experiment class and control class.
The validity and reliability instrument test was conducted before the researcher administered the test to both classes.There were 40 numbers of questions given to the 25 students of 5-B of English education department in University of Singaperbangsa Karawang.From the validity and reliability test, there were 26 valid questions from 40 questions which were gained.
