would motivate them to have better understanding about the topic they were going to discuss to the audiences. The responsibility to deliver well-organized presentation
built the students’ motivation to prepare and learn deeper the materials so that they can master the materials related to the topic of individual presentation. When they felt
that they had already prepared all the things needed for the individual presentation including mastering the materials well, it built their confidence in transferring the
knowledge to the audiences. Their confidence also affected on the way they delivered the materials. The more confident the students, the more fluent they delivered the
materials in front of the audiences. The mastery of the materials also built their confidence in answering the questions from the audiences so that the questions could
be answered accurately based on the explanation given during the presentation and the sources.
2. Students’ Perception on the Use of Individual Presentation
Most of the students had positive perceptions since they could feel the benefits of the individual presentation. For students, the individual presentation was
beneficial: a
To improve their independence so that they will not always rely on others and believe on their own ability in arranging a good presentation,
b To improve their confidence in delivering the presentation individually in front
of the audiences, c
To develop their responsibility in understanding and mastering the materials discussed in the presentation

d To develop independent or self-directed learning in which they decide their
own goals in the learning process, e
To improve the ability of arranging well-systematic presentation which are understandable for the audiences.
Therefore, the students need more chances by having more than one individual presentation in Seminar on Language class so that they can develop more their self-
directed learning. It is because the nature of the class itself also supports them to be more independent as learners.
In Chapter 2, the writer has presented that self directed learners 1 know their needs and work productively with the teacher towards the achievement of their
objectives 2 learn both inside and outside the classroom 3 can take classroom- based material and can build on it 4 know how to use resources independently 5
learn with active thinking 6 adjust their learning strategies when necessary to improve learning 7 manage and divide the time in learning properly 8 do not thing
the teacher is a god who can give them ability to master the language Tricia Hedge, 2000:76. Based on the research findings in Seminar on Language Teaching class on
the use of individual presentation, the writer can conclude that PBI students suited almost all of the characteristics of self-directed learners when experiencing individual
presentation. It is because they had already applied all of the characteristics during the process of preparation and delivery. They did not receive any command from
others when they started learning the topic and they had already implemented self- directed learning.

However, there are some important notes that the writer reflected during the process of conducting this research or collecting the data:
a. It is better to simplify each statement of the questionnaire so that the participants
would not be confused in giving their responses. b.
It is better if the writer makes more statements dealing with students’ delivery during the individual presentation so that the writer can figure out more influences
of the preparation process towards the delivery. c.
It is better to give more questions related to the process of having an individual presentation in Seminar on Language Teaching class rather than focus only the use
of the individual presentation during the interview. d.
It is better to ask specific questions related to the students’ opinion on the use of individual presentation in Seminar on Language Teaching class so that the
participant did not need to repeat the same answers from the previous question. e.
It is better if the students make some personal reflections towards their performances in Seminar on Language Teaching so that they can notice their
strengths or weaknesses during the preparation or the delivery individual presentation and reflect their self-directed learning.
f. It is better if the writer observes the implementation of individual presentation in
Seminar on Language Teaching class. Those notes can help other future researchers if they want to conduct such a research
dealing with students’ independent or self-directed learning so that they will receive clearer data related to the use of individual presentation.
