a. The Result of Interview

Based on the interview, the writer found some important points that were useful for this step. The teacher explained that the fourth grade students of SDN Bogem 2 Sleman, Yogyakarta have mixed ability. Some students learned quickly when the teacher was explaining the materials, but there were some students who needed longer time to get the points of the materials explained. The students learned in different ways. In this school, English is taught once a week for 2x35 minutes on Saturday. The time allotment for teaching each skill was not equal. Actually, when they were having English lesson, most of them paid attention to the teacher and did whatever teacher asked to do. But sometimes, they felt bored to join the lesson and did unimportant things that were not related to the lesson, for example going around the class, talking to their friend, and other activities that distracted their attention from the teacher. In every meeting, English was taught by using integrated way of teaching. The meetings were not specifically prepared for teaching certain language skill. Generally, the students are motivated to learn English, but sometimes they thought that English was very difficult to learn, especially speaking. The students’ 38 competence in speaking was not trained, because the teacher rarely gave the activities that encourage the students to speak in English. The difficulties were managing the class and finding the suitable activities to make them enjoy learning English and improve their language skills, since sometimes they still did not understand the materials after the lesson. Sometimes, the class was so noisy that the teacher felt very difficult to calm the class. The teacher usually arranged a class discussion, gave the students exercises, and explained in Indonesia if the students do not understand the materials. The methodsstrategies that the teacher had ever done were using pictures as the learning media, learning English by singing a song, and arranging class discussion. This was because there were only few interesting media available in that school. The students felt reluctant to speak in English and used English in simple conversation in the classroom. The teacher thought it was difficult to explain the materials in English, therefore, she explained it in Indonesia. The students needed more exposures in learning English. The possible way to make the students be accustomed to speaking in English was to expand the amount of vocabulary and expression used in every meeting. Teachers should be a good model for their students. The learning process also should to be enjoyable and covered various ways of learning since the students had different ways of learning. Therefore, the writer would design the speaking materials based on the Multiple Intelligences theory, which could help the students to improve their speaking skill along with 39 improving their various intelligences and to be motivated in involving the activities of speaking in English.
