4. Teaching Learning Activities

The learning activities are the integral part of learning materials. It affected the learning objectives. The researcher chose the learning activity based on the data from the questionnaire, which activity the students like and which 43 activity the students get bored. The presentation of the data gathered can be seen as follow: Table 4.5: The Result of Pre-Design Survey Question 7-10 No Statement Percentage 7 Activities the students liked a. reading b. telling story c. playing role d. games 55 40 20 40 8 Activities made the students were bored a. teacher talked too much b. read the long text c. too long discussion 30 20 20 9 The learning media the students liked a. texts b. pictures c. songs d. games 55 25 15 25 10 The learning method the students liked a. learning individually b. learning in small group c. learning in pairs d. learning outside the class 30 50 10 65 Eleven students 55 agreed about the activity they liked was reading, and then eight students 40 liked using games and telling story. However, the researcher tried to combine those activities based on the students’ interests so that students became more enthusiastic. The researcher avoided to talk too much while teaching the students because six students 30 said that this activity made the 44 students felt bored. Although most students 55 liked using text as their media, the researcher chose Task-Based materials. Thirteen students 65 liked learning outside the class, but it considered to the topic being discussed. If in the learning activity needs more places to explore, they might do it outside the class. The other ten students 50 liked studying in the small group that might consist of three to four students. In designing the material, the researcher tried to percentage the four skills were listening 10, speaking 60, reading 20, and writing 10. It can be seen that most students liked reading. Listening was given to make students common hearing English conversation. The focus of this study was speaking so this skill has the biggest percentage. Doing more practice, students would be more fluent and confident. Reading was given because most students liked reading. So the researcher always gives passage in each topic but in small portion. Then, writing was given as measurement between students’ pronunciation and writing. The four skills have their own role so they should be included in the learning activity. In teaching learning activity, the researcher tried to avoid talk too much in front of the class. The action would made students get bored. The most interesting media chosen by the students was text. But the researcher would use pictures and games in the learning activity. Learning in small group that consists of three or four students would be the first alternative in teaching learning activity. There were three elements of each unit of the learning process. They were Pre-activity, whilst-activity, and post-activity. 45 Pre-activity In this section, teacher introduces class about Warm Up and Speak Up.
