out given by the researcher. However, they were still confused with the one of the classification which was the verb. So, the researcher re-explained it for the
students.
b. Using Classroom English during the Teaching and Learning Process
As planned beforehand, using the classroom English during the teaching and learning process was to make the students familiar with some expressions.
However, the researcher also translated some unfamiliar expressions in Indonesian to make the students understood the meaning of a certain expression.
This could be seen on the following excerpt. Continued
The researcher reviewed the last meeting materials about a descriptive text entitled “My Living Room”. She also showed the students the flashcards that
was used in the previous meeting. The students then told her that they still did not understand about the part of speech. The researcher asked the students
which part that they still found it confusing to them. One of the students said that she still did not understand about the verb used in the simple present tense.
Other students agreed with her that they still confused about the verb. Then, the researcher explained about the verb in the simple present tense.

expressions they also could directly answered it. However, as the field note 18, for some expressions that they were not familiar with, they still answered it using
Bahasa Indonesia or Javanese. Continued
