6. Avenues to Awareness through Exploration
Av enues to awareness through exploration were the teacher‟s beliefs that
were used for 3 times in Critical Reading and Writing II Class. There were 2 teachers who used this belief, teacher in class A and teacher in class B. Gebhard
and Oprandy 1999, pp. 13-15 state that the awareness through exploration can use four avenues as the suggestion for different method in teaching. The first
avenue is problem solving. This belief can be seen from the example of “Introduction: expand on the bad side and argue against it” in teacher‟s
comment on teacher‟s written feedback. The teacher knew that the student had problem in the introductory paragraph. Therefore, the teacher gave the solutions
for the student to revise the paragraph by expanding on the bad side and arguing from the opposite side.

6. Avenues to awareness through
exploration. -
Introduction: expand on the bad side and argue against it
- What about the good effect of English to
our L1? Eg: encrich particularly tech. Terms.
- Make the thesis more convincing.
The second avenues are seeing what happens by trying the opposite and seeing what happens by adapting random teaching behavior. However, the
researcher did not find this avenue in teacher‟s written feedback. The third avenue are seeing what is by contrasting what we do with what we think we do and seeing
what is by considering what the teachers believe in light of what we do. The
90 teacher used this avenue for hisher student belief in
“What about the good effect of English to our L1? Eg: enrich particularly tech. Terms.” The teacher asked the
student to consider the good effect of English to our L1 in other terms. Therefore, the teacher also asked the student to consider what they believe
in light of what we do. The last avenue is clarifying our feelings. The teacher wrote
“Make the thesis more convincing.” It means the teacher cannot gain the emotional clarity. The teacher‟s feeling said that the thesis was not strong enough.
The teacher asked the student to revise the thesis for the better result.
