The other facilities are the teachers. There are three English teachers there. They had taught English lesson since four years ago. There are 12 classes. So,
every teacher teaches four classes.
2. Classroom observation
The condition of the classroom is very important for teaching-learning process. The classroom of the first grade class is big enough. There are 30 chairs
and tables. They are still in good condition. Besides the blackboard, there is a big cupboard to save the teacher and the students documents. The floor looks clean
and the green wall makes the situation able fresh. The students do not feel hot because there are two big vans above.
When the writer had the job training practice, the writer focused on the first grade class A as the main of observation. It is located on the northeast part of
the school. This class gets English Lessons once a week, exactly on Thursday. It
starts from 11.00 until 12.00. The writer was asked by the supervisor to do the observation first before she started teaching-learning practice.
In the first meeting of her observation, the writer sat in the corner of the classroom. She could observe in the way the teacher doing the process of teaching
learning English. There were four steps in the teaching-learning English process. They were
presentation, explanation, practice and evaluation. 1 Presentation
Presentation was the first step in the classroom activities. In this step, the teacher did not directly present the material would be discussed but
she divided it into two parts called reviewing the last lesson and presenting the new material.
a. Reviewing the last lesson This part was considered as a warming up before starting to the new
lesson. For instance, in the last lesson the teacher had explained “The Objects in the Bathroom”. So what she had to do was reviewing this
material to the students. The teacher began to ask the students one by one to answer the question. If the students could answer all the teacher’s
questions, it meant that they had understood what she had explained. b. Presenting the new material
At this step the teacher presenting the topic of the lesson would be discussed. The topic was “My Garden”. Then the teacher asked the
students to mention the objects found in the garden in the mother tongue.
2 Explanation After presenting the new material, the teacher explained the new lesson.
The students mentioned the objects found in the garden using the mother tongue. Then the teacher wrote them on the blackboard and she translated
them into English. She read them loudly and all students repeated them together. Then she asked the students one by one to read the words on the
black board. It would practice their speaking. Then they had to write them in their task books. More often when the students wrote the words in English, it
would practice their writing. 3 Practice
Practice was the step where the students had to apply what had been explained by the teacher previously by completely and doing the exercises.
Exercises were based on the students’ hand books. In these books, the students could do the exercises. The exercises were completed with pictures in order to
make students easier in understanding that exercises. Before asking the students to do the exercises, the teacher gave some
instructions about how to do the exercises. Then the students answered the exercises. The teacher and the students discussed the answer after the students
finished doing the exercises. Sometime, if the time was up and the students did not finish the exercises yet, they could continue the exercises at home as
home work. 4 Evaluation
Evaluation was done to know how far the students could catch the material and to know whether the teacher succeeded or failed in teaching
English to the students. The teacher gave tests to carry out the evaluation. The test was related to the material given and it was distributed every month after
every topic was concluded.
