40 researcher conducted a classroom observation on April 18
th
2015. He observed the classroom interaction while the teacher was teaching about repeating V-ing to the
class. The result of the classroom observation presents on the Appendix A. After that, he administered the pretest to the class.
Based on the field note on the Appendix A, there were problems in the teaching and learning process of the class. First, the students tended to keep silent
while the teacher gave the explanation about the lesson. However, they were enthusiastic when the teacher played a joke. Next, the researcher also did
interviews with the English teacher and some students. The students seldom used English in the conversation. Furthermore, the English teacher did not use the
teaching aid, such as videos or audios or handouts to support the teaching learning process. They had to write down the teacher’s explanation on their books.
The students lacked confidence to express their expression in English. They were afraid of making mistakes in pronunciation, structure and vocabulary when
they were speaking. Therefore, most of them were shy of showing their speaking skill in front of the class. Besides, the materials given by the teacher did not meet
the students’ need. The teacher did not use the basic competence and standard competency of SMK. Moreover, the teacher did not use handout for guiding their
lesson. She paid little attention to interactive speaking tasks. She rarely asked them to do role play as their job, to have discussion, to do interview or other
interactive tasks. As a result, the students were passive in the class. The students still had a difficulty in pronouncing words, it can be showed by
the interview transcript in Appendix C. The teacher seldom gave feedback and
41 correction when the students got difficulty in arranging the sentence or
pronouncing incorrect pronunciation. The teacher also did not use the material books to guide the lesson. She did not package the material with the variety
interaction. The English teaching and learning in the class was less communicative. Consequently, most of the students felt that English was a
difficult subject and boring subject because of so many theories. After doing the class observation, interviewing the English teacher and
some students, also got the score of pretest, the researcher and the English teacher did discussions about the problems occurred in the class. Based on the
discussions, they identified some problems that were found in the field. Those field problems were presented in the table below.
