c. Interview
To find out the reason why the students got difficulties in learning question-tag, the writer did an interview to all of students in
Class VIII-9 of State Junior High School 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan. In doing her interview, the writer gave for about ten questions related to
the topic and the teaching learning English activities which must be answered by the students.
After the writer finished interviewing, the writer found some reason why they got difficulties in learning question-tag. The
difficulties happened because there were many students who ha ven’t
mastered yet about the rules of some tenses, they forgot the exception rules in question-tags, because their teacher explained unclear.
Consequently the students still confuse to decide the auxiliary verb must be used in one sentence of question-tag and in the exception
rules, they still so hard to decide the tag. They said that they were still confused to decide the auxiliary verb, if one sentence there is no the
auxiliary verb including the exception rules such as, imperative sentence, request sentence and Subject I and they still hard to decide
whether mark or falling intonation in a sentence.. In other words, they still felt difficult to decide the appropriate tag in sentence.
However, the internal factor and external factor influenced the students’ difficulties in their learning. First, they faced the difficulties
because of their worse mind set or opinion. They believe that grammar is difficult subject. Then, they felt afraid to ask to their teacher,
because they thought their teacher is “killer”. Consequently, they can’t communicate their difficulties to their teacher. Lastly, they have low
enthusiasm and motivation in learning question-tags. From the explanation above, the writer would like to conclude
