Interview Transcript above shows that the students had low motivation in learning English. The teacher asked them to bring the dictionary, but they did not
want to do that. They did not pay attention to the teacher’s explanation. It means
that they were not interested and motivated to participate during the teaching and learning process. Their vocabulary mastery was still low so they were not able to
speak because of afraid of making mistakes. Moreover, the teaching technique was monotonous because the English teacher used to use conventional teaching
technique. The researcher also observed the classroom in order to get descriptions of
the teaching and learning process. The situation before the actions implementation is presented in the vignette below.
Vignette 1
In reference to the vignette above, the teaching and learning process in the class did not run well. There were only few students who were active during the
teaching and learning process, the other students were passive and some of them tended to be busy doing their own activity during the teaching and learning
process. It means that they had low motivation in learning because they did not pay attention to the teacher’s explanation.
After conducting the observation, the researcher also conducted interviews with some students. From the interviews, the conclusion drawn is that most of the
students were not interested in learning English lesson since the teaching and After talking about problems related to the class, P and GBI entered
the classroom. P sat at the back desk to observe the class activity. The class situation was very noisy, almost all of the students did chatting, joking,
laughing although GBI and P had been in the class. After that he opened the class by greeting them, “Good morning, students,” some of them
responded him, but the others were busy doing something as usual. Then, GBI explained why P was here to do observation because next meeting P would
conduct research in that school especially in class VIIA. Then GBI discussed about the previous meeting. There was homework and then they discussed
about the homework. After discussing homework, GBI asked Ss to open the LKS

to study over again about Procedure text. GBI pointed one of Ss to read the text. Then GBI explained the text and asked
Ss to translate the words in the sentence by using dictionary. When GBI gave explanation, several Ss were busy chatting with others; even they
were busy with themselves. When GBI asked, “Any difficulties?”. Ss only kept silent and bowed their head. After that, GBI asked Ss who could
answer the difficult word. Only few students were brave to answer, the others were not active during the class.
The time was over, GBI and P ended the class and left the class together while talking about the problem related to the students. ET said that
Ss sometimes have difficulties to the unfamiliar words. So, she asked them to find the meaning in the dictionary. However, not all students have the
dictionary and tend to keep silent or copy their friends’ work.
