APPENDIX XIV THE FIRST INTERVIEW BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION WITH THE ENGLISH TEACHER

Researcher : Excuse me sir, may I ask you some questions? Teacher

: Okay, ya. Researcher : What are the problems that occur during English teaching and

learning process especially in eleventh grade of SMA Natural Science Program 2?

Teacher : Based on my experience teaching at this school, the are some problems happen during the classroom activity. For example... the students do not like English. They do not like English because English is difficult. Ya and then the student also has a low activity and... ya their experience in the past about learn in a bad way, I mean the student learn in the classroom they do not consentration and also focuss to the teacher’s explanation. They are playing in the class and the have done this for years and I think in the seenior high school, they keep doing t hat and yeah that’s the problem. That’s the big problem in the classroom. I think that’s all.

Researcher : What are the difficulties of the students in speaking ability? Teacher

: Okay, talking about speaking, we’re talking about the activity in the classroom. The student should be active also in the classroom. So, the problem for the teacher improvee the students’ ability in speaking is many students have a low ability in vocabulary. So they have no... list less words... that the words should be used when they are speaking about and also they have no experience to speak up, because ya, some teacher, some English teacher speak Indonesian language when they are giving the explanation to the students. It means that they... the students.. a.. the students’ experience in having...a.. in having the English language as a communication in the classroom will be lost. And then, a... the students also are afraid with grammar. They are afraid if they a.. their speaking is wrong a.. according to the grammar rule. And then... ya the students have not confident to speak up. I think that’s all about the problem a... happen in the classroom.

Researcher : What strategies that you often use during teaching in the class?

Teacher : Actually for the strategy that we will apply in the classroom, depend on the material. A.... we have to consider an appropriate a.... an appropriate strategy to appropriate topic or material. But if we talk about teaching English we have make student be active in the classroom, whatever the skill, although the skill is about listening, writing, speaking, or reading. You have make a... students to be active in the class. The strategy is we have to make, the strategy is active...learning... a.. an active learning strategy in the classroom, we have to apply it. Yah.

Researcher : ee... do you ever use Listening Teams Strategy in teaching process?

Teacher : Yah.. a.. applying Listening Teams Strategies in teaching proocess. Aa... if we read about the.. the explanation about Listening Teams Strategy, there are.. should be four group, right? A... for me, I never use four group in the class that I have more group, I have big group. But anyway, I think the principle of a.. this strategy is quite same with what I have done, but the difference here is about the total of group we have in the classroom. I think that.

Researcher : What kind of activities do you think will be suitable to solve the

difficulties of the students in speaking ability, sir?

Teacher : Iyah.. we have to make the student confidence to be better, that is. It can make the student to be a.. have a good motivation and a good confidence. I think their speaking, it’s not a problem anymore in the class. So the teacher is about.. the confident, the.. the confident and the motivation of the student itself.

Researcher : Okay, thank you for answering all my questions. Thank you for your answer.
