The second draft of unit 2 “I Love My World” was tried out on Friday, 25
th
September 2014.There were 23 students in the class. In the second try out, the researcher was the teacher who
taught the students using the second draft of the listening –
speaking materials, while the English teacher was the observer.
The teacher started the class by singing “Good Afternoon” song and the students sang “Good Afternoon” song too as the
response. Then, they sang “How Are You?” song. The teacher
asked the students to stand up and they started singing “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”. The students sat with their group and
then the teacher explained what they were going to do. For the warming up, the students opened the page 17 of the
students’ book and the teacher asked names of the animals on that page. They missed some pronunciation of the animals’ name and
the teacher helped them to say the correct one. She showed some flash cards of animals and students said their names. The teacher
corrected the miss pronounce words again. After that, the teacher asked the students whether they had
pet in their house. Most of them said they had goat, cow, or chicken. She asked the sound of goat, they answered “mbeek…”.
She asked the sound of cow, they answered “mooohh”. She asked the sound of rooster, they answered “kukuruyuuk”. Then, the
teacher explained that in English the sound of goat is “baa”, the sound of cow is “moo”, and the sound of rooster is “cock a doodle
doo”. All of the students laughed when they knew the animals’ sound in English. The teacher showed some pictures of animals
and made their sound. The students tried to imitate it. Next, the teacher invited the students to sing “The Animals’ Sound” song.
The students love the song. They like imitating the sounds of the animals in English. After knowing the animals’ sounds, then they
played “Communisound” game in the school yard. The teacher

bear has. Then, she asked about the size whether it was small or big. She showed a picture of a duck and asked the students the
same things. Next, the students were asked to do the task on page 21

end of the story, the teacher sang a song and asked the students to repeat her. Then, the teacher told the story once again, she gave
some stickers of weird animals to each group. While the students listened to the story for the second time, they tried to fill the
columns on page 24 – 26 with the animals’ names and the stickers
they got. Then, they sang “Three Bears” song and dance like the
bears. They love doing it. After that, they took a rest before going to the next section.

missed some pronunciation and the teacher helped them to say the correct one. She showed some flash cards of fruit and vegetables
and then, students said their names. The teacher corrected the miss pronounce words again. Next, the students played “What Fruit Is
It?” game. The teacher explained the rules of the game. They made a big circle and started turning a table with many flashcards of fruit
and vegetables. Then students were asked to open the page 28 and 29. The
teacher started explaining how to describe fruit and vegetables. She showed a picture of an apple, then asked the students how the
apple tastes, the color, and the size. She showed a picture of an orange and asked the same things. Once again she showed a picture
