4.1.2 Nature Students – Teachers Interaction in the Class
To build a good and responsive interaction among teachers and students, here the teachers should know how the students‟ mood are when they want to start the
class. Because most of the children still have instability emotions. Their activities, mostly depend on mood. For instance, if they have good moods to learn, the teachers
can start the class with the material that they want to teach successfully. But, on the other hand, if most of the children in the mood of playing or still crying and do not
want to enter the classs or far away from their mother, the teacher should wait for a few minutes until they are ready to focus on the subject or object taught at that time.
And sometimes, teachers asks students about what they want to do or learn about at that time. It show that the teacher uses the Suggestopedia method, because the
students learn depend on mood and learning done in the athmosphere of play in order it can fun, and also Communicative Approach because the teacher should know the
students feeling and what they are saying. Since their attentions are important in teaching-learning process, the teacher
shoud have a way all of the students‟ attentions when teacher wants to start the class. In this case, the teacher uses a thing that is called “tambourine”. It is a round musical

instrument like a shallow drum with metal discs around the edges and it is played by being shaken or hit with the hand.
For instance, while the teacher shaking the tambourine and asking the children to sit on their chairs and look at her. Then most of the children run to their
chairs, sit on it and look at her. After that, the class begins. This way shows that the teacher uses the Audio-Lingual method because the students are under control of
teacher absolutely. In teaching-learning activities in the class, if a student can answer the
question or do the orders from teacher correctly, the teacher asks other students to give the applauze to that student. But if a student makes a mistake in mentioning or
pronouncing a thing or answering the question from teacher, the teacher will say or give himher the correct answer immediately or ask the other students to give the
correct one together and loudly. It shows that the teacher uses the Communicative Approach, because the students are under control of teacher, teacher also be sensitive
to the students‟ limitation, to build the relationship among the teacher and students and the cooperation among the students, and the last is communication with the
students is important. So, in the nature students-teachers interaction in the classroom, the teacher
combines the Communicative Language Learning, Audio Lingual Method and Suggestopedia and the techniques that are used are imitation, repetition drill,
language games, and role play.
