improved more, thus the teacher got 62 for his teaching performance. This means that the research indicator for the teacher‟s performance has not fulfilled yet in cycle I.
But there were some weaknesses from the cycle I. The weaknesses must also be solved since this absolutely influenced the students‟ vocabulary mastery and the
students‟ activities. The weaknesses of the teacher‟s performance and the solutions of the weaknesses are as follows:
4.2 Weaknesses in Cycle I
Since the teacher usually corrected the students‟ mistakes directly, the students became fear and did not have enough courage to respond to the teacher‟s questions.
Besides that, he did not finish teaching based on the time that was scheduled. He just taught in that school once a week because of school and English teacher authority. He
could not distinguish which activity needed longer time and which one needed shorter time. So he did not get the time to give follow up or homework. Actually the teacher
must do a follow up by giving direction or tasks as a remedy but in doing the follow up, the teacher just asked the students to learn more at home.
The teacher seldom gave positive responses to the students‟ questions or opinions. Meanwhile, students like being praised for every good thing they do. In addition, the
teacher often corrected the students‟ mistakes directly. This thing made the weak students become much more passive during the teaching and learning process. Since
he was a teacher in that school, of course he knew each of student ability, who were
brave enough to express their opinion and who were not brave enough. But in fact, he did not mention that.
4.3 Solutions of the Weaknesses
To make the students get accustomed to hearing the English words, the teacher must use English much more than use Bahasa, as long as the students understand the
teacher‟s intention, he could keep using English during the teaching and learning process. For time allocation that he did not finish teaching based on the time
scheduled, thus he needed to manage the time wisely. He should distinguish which activity needed longer time and which one needed shorter time. So, he had time to
give follow up or homework. The teacher should
give positive responses to the students‟ opinions and questions more often. The teacher even could give some rewards to the students too so that they
would feel that their hard work was appreciated by the teacher. The teacher must also pay attention to the ability of each individual especially to the weak students After the
researcher did reflection towards the weaknesses happened in the learning product and learning process of Cycle I, he together with the teachers tried to implement the
solutions in Cycle II until the indicators of the research could be achieved.
