important to learn in elementary. Teacher only expects the students to speak well in English, unfortunately that were not supported by school to invite native
speaker. So, students just hear from teacher’s sounds and anative speaker’s sound
but from audiotapes.
Another interview comes from students. The names of participants are Indah and Abimanyu. They were chosen by high and low score. Indah, who has high
score, learn English language since she was in kindergarten whereas Abimanyu since he was in first level at elementary school. Both of them have different point
of view in learning English. Indah likes English language even it is hard to learn. She thinks that goal of learning English language is to communicate with native
speaker. That is her reasons to continue learn English until she fluent in that language. She is happy when learning English in the class with Mrs. Linda even
the source of learning is only from school’s book. The picture in the book can support her in learning though no colour in the book. She always bring dictionary
when the subject started in class. So, when she found new words and hard to
pronounce that words, she open dictionary.
Abimanyu, who has low score, does not like English language. He thinks that language is hard to learn. He also never wants to learn English more until him
fluent in that language. That’s why he never bring dictionary in class even his
teacher asked him to bring it and that was the reasons he gets low score in English language.

their friends and the teacher keep watch them. The students practice in front of class without looking the book, but there are the students who is cheating by
looking the book when presentation. When the teacher found mistake of pronounce of words that the students did, and then she correct it at that time.
