Those four points are employed by the researcher in this research to identify students’ participation in English class. However, Bonwell and Eison said
“the greater emphasis is placed on the exploration of student values and attitudes” 1991. Therefore, it is expected that by actively participating in class, the students
can reflect what they have done in class and make use of it in their social lives.
2. Active learning

learning method which is going to be applied in class XF. Active learning covers some ways such as games, group discussion, presentation, teacher driven
questioning, and role – playing. The active learning method which is conducted
by the researcher covers some activities such as class or group discussion, collaborative learning, quiz, games, and students’ presentation.
