f. Sometimes the practice teacher gives an unclear explanation or
instruction to my students so that he needs to repeat his explanation or instruction several times, which means not effective.
Participant 1 A practice teacher may have his instruction written on the students‟
handout that are distributed, written on the whiteblackboard, or showed on the power point slide. By having a written instruction
added by the teachers‟ explanation about the instruction, students may have a better understanding of the instruction so that there is
need to repeat the instruction again and again.
Participant 2 The key is actually on the practice teach
er‟s preparation. A practice teacher should really prepare what he is going to say in the
classroom, including the instruction. Make it as simple as possible so that the students will easily get the point.
Participant 3 In giving a teaching explanation or instruction, it is better for a
practice teacher to use simple language so that the students can understand the point of the teachers‟ words. The written instruction
that is clearly explained will also be helpful for students.
Participant 4 A practice teacher should understand the skill of the students first.
If it is impossible for the students to get all the explanation and instruction in English, then the teacher can combine the language
to help the students understand the explanation and instruction of the teacher. But, the use of the combination of the English and
Bahasa Indonesia must be applied, only if the students do not
100 understand. As long as the students understand what the teacher
explain and instruct, then the use of English is a must, in my opinion.
Participant 5 First, I usually used English as the communicative language. But
then when my students did not get my point, I switched my language into Bahasa Indonesia. I think it is very effective rather
than repeating the instruction or explanation again by using English. While explaining the instruction, I usually also
approached my confused students to give them more explanation so that they could understand my point.
Participant 6 First, a mahasiswa PPL needs to know his or her students‟ ability
in English. If it is possible to give the students instructions in full English, then just do it because it will improve the students‟
listening skills too. But if the students have low ability in English, maybe it is better to combine English and Bahasa Indonesia when
we give instructions.
