INTERVIEW TEACHER C 1. During my observation time, I noticed that you created a condition where the students must use mostly English as the language of instructions. Why is that? Why don’t you combine it with Indonesian? First, it is because my students have been in twelfth grade. I consider that they have enough and better skills to comprehend the teaching-learning process in English rather than tenth or eleventh graders. It is also to give them exposure, so that they can be accustomed to listen English language. When they are accustomed to listening it, they can subconsciously learn how to pronounce it and construct sentences correctly in English through daily learning at school. 2. Do you think by using mostly English as the language of instructions, it can help your teaching learning process in English class? I think yes, because every time I teach in class, I always find students who want to follow the intonationsword stress correctly. They are not only learning about English vocabulary, but also how to pronounce words correctly in a good pronunciation and word stress. I feel that the use of English as language of instructions in classroom can help the students to improve their skills. It can also encourage the students to be more confident in speaking English. You know, as a human, teacher like you and me can make mistakes. It is the same case with students. Therefore, don‟t be afraid of making mistakes. Be confident with our English skills. That way, students can show their bravery in the use of English by forcing them to use it. 3. Do you have background experiences which encourage you to force students to use English in you class? During my school days in Junior and Senior High School I felt that I always got good grades in English. However, everything was different after I entered English Department of UKSW because all courses were taught in English. I could only get 89 from reading and structure courses, but my listening and speaking results weren‟t that good. These experiences made me realize that my students must get a good education in English whether it is in written or oral. 4. It is impossible to make all students understand about our explanations in English. How is your strategy to handle students who don’t understand about it? This problem often occurs in tenth graders. Teaching this grade is more difficult than others eleventh and twelfth. Therefore, when we encounter this problem, we have to teach really slowly, pay attention to our word choices not to make the students confused. We can also check their understanding by asking, “Do you understand that?”. The students who understand the materials can give explanation and those who don‟t can learn from their friends. Therefore, the students can learn each other from their friends and teacher doesn‟t have to tell the meaning directly to students.
