13.00 This was the first time the researcher observed the English class. There were twenty students here. The class started at 11.00 o’clock. The researcher was well-welcomed by the students. Because the researcher had

finished field practice for two months, the teacher and students invited directly. The teaching learning process was begun with a greeting. The teacher asked the students about the last material (recount text). She said “ Last, we have recount text, and I hope all of you have done the complete the homework Cuk Nyak Dien Translation” Because of limited time, the teacher gave supplementary task for homework about recount text, the homework were the question on students’ worksheet book page 20 number 16-35, Essay number 1-10, and remedial test. The task was used as the daily test.

The classroom was so noisy, so the teacher asked the students in order to keep silent. The teacher gave some clues for the students “ Ok, coba saya yakin kalian sudah familiar dengan text ini, coba kalau ada text yang judulnya Cinderella, Snow White, The Legend of Prambanan Temple, dan Sleeping Beauty, itu termasuk teks apa?” They mentioned recount text, dialogue, procedure text, and descriptive text. The teacher gave a clue “Yang biasanya di awali dengan once upon a time” A student The classroom was so noisy, so the teacher asked the students in order to keep silent. The teacher gave some clues for the students “ Ok, coba saya yakin kalian sudah familiar dengan text ini, coba kalau ada text yang judulnya Cinderella, Snow White, The Legend of Prambanan Temple, dan Sleeping Beauty, itu termasuk teks apa?” They mentioned recount text, dialogue, procedure text, and descriptive text. The teacher gave a clue “Yang biasanya di awali dengan once upon a time” A student

asked about the function of narrative text. Some students opened the book and an swered the teacher’s question by using Indonesia.

The teacher gave some clues for students. The teacher and students made a conclusion. After that, the teacher asked the students to make a conclusion about the social function with their own words. But, no one wanted to answer it. So, the teacher gave some clues again and made a conclusion in English by herself. The teacher asked about recount text

“Apakah recount text itu sedang terjadi, sudah terjadi atau akan terjadi?” But the students answered freely, they said “Akan bu, akan terjadi”

Because of that, the teacher explained about recount text and compared with the social function of narrative text. The teacher distributed some papers to the students. The teacher asked the students for looking the picture in the paper. There were three pictures in the paper. The teacher said “ There are three strips in this paper, ada orang yang sedang sujud, ada gambar rumah adat, dan kapal laut. Coba sekarang kamu discuss with your friends about the pictures, mendiskusikan dengan temanmu tentang gambar ini., kira- kira nanti ketemunya tentang cerita apa” The students discussed the picture but most of them were made conversation out of the material.

The teacher asked the students to present their discussion in front of the class. There were four students that presented their discussion in front of the class. They represented every line in the classroom. They explained their discussion by using Indonesia. The teacher gave a feedback. The classroom was stopped because of the time for a break (it was also for praying Dzuhur). After the time for a break, the teaching learning process was continued. The teacher gave the students a task to match the English word list into the Indonesia word list. The teacher asked the students for doing the task with their seatmate and if they finished the task they can write the answer on the whiteboard. The teacher checked the students during the process of discussion. The group that had finished the task

Reflective Note:

The problem that was faced by the teacher was that the students cannot understand the instruction which was used by the teacher when the teacher uses the English language. The teacher had to warn the students again and again because they were very noisy. During the discussion, some students did not contribute to do their task and made a commotion. The teacher used print out material as the media that was delivered to the students one by one. The material was taken from textbooks, because the textbook was limited, so the teacher had to copy the material from the textbook. When the teacher used the pictures as the material, the students could not understand with the pictures because the pictures were not colorful, so the students asked about the meaning of the pictures to the teacher. The teacher asked the student to use dictionary for doing the task. The students that brought dictionary was only a few. So, they had to borrow in the library, but the dictionary in the library was not enough. Some students did not do the task and asked the seatmate to do the task. When the students were doing the task, some of them cheated the other students. Some students opened the next page, so when the teacher asking about the story that related to the pictures the student answered The Legend of Malin Kundang without paid attention with the pictures. The using material of narrative text was the lack of interesting because the students felt confused with the pictures.

The teacher used “The Legend of Malin Kundang” story as the material is correct because the students knew about the legend of “The Legend of Malin Kundang” before, so the students can link their

wrote on the whiteboard. When a student wrote on the whiteboard, the other students that had finished their task came close to the teacher and asked about the answer. The teacher gave feedback that the answer on the whiteboard is true and asked the other students to check their tasks with

the answer on the whiteboard. The teacher did not check the results of all students. The tasks did not collect to the teacher. Because of that, the researcher knows that the teacher cannot know the students that have finished the task or not, the students that have done the task or not.
