Based on the observation , she found that the student didn‟t pay attention to
the teacher; they kept talking with their friends while the teacher was explaining the
material. So, the teacher got some difficulties to attract the students‟ attention. Mostly, teacher just listed vocabulary in the text book and translated it, and then
they were asked to memorizing these given words. After 5 minutes given, one by one student was standing in their place to give some words which they had just
memorized, minimum 10 words. The student was got hesitation because they couldn‟t remember the word easily and couldn‟t deliver these words fluently.
Moreover, the student knows that their teacher is little bit „killer‟, so when the teacher asked one volunteer to be the first, there‟s no one student who wants to
mention 10 words with their meaning.
