1. Class Observation

The writer did class observation on January 3 th 2012. At that time the writer observed the English teacher’s way of teaching in the class before doing a real teaching practice. Ms. Aisyah is the one of English teacher in the school. She is a temporary teacher. She handles English subject from the first grade until sixth grade. The writer observed not only how the teacher taught but also how she managed the class. Firstly, when Ms. Aisyah taught the students in second grade, the activities in the class were greeting, reviewing last material, and correcting homework if any. She spoke loudly when presenting the material, but the students’ voice was louder, so sometime Ms. Aisyah hit a table or board to get the students attention back. However, not all of the students understood what she had explained, it was because the students were still noisy. Ms. Aisyah did not use the situation by givingan interesting activity related to the material, she just gave a punishment to the “active” students. After presenting the material Ms. Aisyah close the lesson by reviewed material, gave homework and left taking. Besides, the writer observed the facilities in the class too, such as teaching aids. The teaching aids that is used in teaching were black board, chalk, and a handbook. At the first dayobservation, the writer made an agreement with the English teacher about what grade the writer would teach in. Finally, the writer was given chance to teach the second, third, and fifth grades. After three days observation the writer started to find the characteristic of each grade. Second grade students were the most crowded one. They were still like to play around and make some commit to user noise. It was difficult for the writer to manage the class conductively. The fifth grade students was very calm, so the writer did not have a big problem to manage the class. The one which attracted the writer’ attention was the third grade. They were active students, but they had high motivation in studying English. Therefore, the writer decided to take the third grade as her focus in doing her final report. After the class observation for three days, the writer handled the class directly on the next meeting. However, Ms. Aisyah still gave guidance and evaluation.
