Teacher Talk and Student Talk

The four matrixes are about classroom interaction pattern in first meeting until fourth meeting. They are indicated that interaction is not dominated by the teacher. The distribution of each type of talk is also balance with one to another. It can be seen from the number of the teacher talk tail 1-7 and the student talk tail 8-10. Furthermore, it is found that the number of talks also increases. Based on the observation, in the first meeting the class activity is not as many as other meetings since the activity is only class discussion without any simulation about the topic. Another point is the number of silence tail 10 has very low frequent. It showed that students are active in participating classroom discussion.

4.1.2.1 Teacher Talk and Student Talk

Before the researcher shows the percentage result of the teacher’s talk and the student’s talk, the researcher defines the differences of percentage of the teacher talk and the percentage of student talk. The definitions are suggested by from Flander 1970 cited in Hai and Bee 2006. First, the percentage of teacher talk represented the amount of the total class time during which the teacher is speaking. To find the percentage of teacher talk, the total number of column 1-7 is divided by the total number of columns in the matrix. Second, the percentage of student talk indicated the amount of the total class time during which a student is speaking. The percentage of student talk is found by dividing the total number of columns 8 and 9 by the total number of columns in the matrix. Below is the result of teacher talk proportion in each meeting 1 st -4 th meeting. The complete result can be seen in appendix 2.

The teacher talk and the student talk will be compared in the four meeting observations. The result shows that the teacher talk and the student talk is not really different 49.5 and 47.2 for students’ talk. Further a lot information about the observation result in teacher-student interaction will be presented. The table shows that the total number of talk during interaction is 478 of utterances. Those utterances will be divided into two main categories teacher talk and student talk. The proportion of student talk is 226 or 49. Those utterances will be classified into 3 parts. The proportion of teacher talk is 236 or 51 the teacher talk will be classified into direct and indirect influence. The result of teacher talk can be seen in table 4.6 about classroom interaction in 4 different pattern.

The percentage of each patterns have been counted using Flander Interaction Analysis System FIAS formulas. After that it will compared with all observation meeting result to get the accumulation of each pattern. The result shows the student participation become the most predominant pattern. The proportion of student participation pattern is high in the whole four meeting is 43.27, 45.85, 46 and 54. It means that the students are active enough in the classroom interaction. The second predominant pattern is content cross. The proportion is 31.53, 27, 28 and 26, 28. It spend 26.28 of teaching learning time, it mean teacher spent more her talking time in lecturing. She was giving facts or opinion about content or procedure with her own ideas to give comprehensible input for the students.
