lesson. The Ss politely answered the ET’s question. Before the teaching and learning started, there was weekly performance by a student. The performer was chosen randomly and that day was Dea’s turn. She did a presentation entitled “The Easy Ways to Learn English ”. She did it well but still had some problems related to her speaking skill. She still used the mother language that is Javanese, she also mispronounced some words, and the last mistake was she used many types of fillers such as uh, mm, um. But it was good enough for Ss in her grade. Dea delivered her presentation for 5 minutes and she asked other Ss to come into the front of the class to explain who their idol is. She promised if there were two Ss participating in her quiz, they deserved a unique reward. The volunteers were Rama and Haikal. They explained and described their idol in turn. As mentioned in Dea’s problem, they did the same mistake in pronouncing some words and they still used the same mother language to explain some words they did not know in English. Both of them could not found suitable words to express what they wanted to say, but they delivered the explanation bravely. The ET invited the Ss to come to the main topic of that day which was “Stating and Expressing Conditional Sentence”. She opened English course book and said, “Alright, now open your book chapter 12, there are several activities you are going to learn today and now please do the first exercise that is listening activity. I will play it twice, listen carefully on this recording, and try to answer the questions listed on your book”. She played the recording which was about the conversation between two people in a shopping situation. After that, the ET and the Ss discussed the listening exercise. There were some students participating in this discussion. They tried hard to express ideas in English. The ET also explained some types of conditional sentences and she asked the Ss to pronounce some difficult words. After they had done the first exercise, the ET asked the Ss to finish the next exercise provided in the course book. Some boys sitting in the back rows looked sleepy. There were two boys laying his head on the table. Some were busy doing random things like having chit-chat with seatmates, drawing random pictures on their books, playing with their stuff, and many more. Only few Ss sitting in the front rows paid full attention to the ET. The ET realized that the Ss got bored with the exercise. She asked one S who looked so sleepy to read the passage loudly. She also asked four Ss to practice a dialogue related to the topic in front of the class. It was effective enough to overcome Ss’ boredom in the learning activity. After four Ss performed the dialogue in front of the class, the Ss were asked to finish the last activity. They should finish the exercise in five minutes, and then the ET invited the Ss to present their work randomly. Not all Ss delivered their work since the time was almost up. Before the bell rang, the ET informed all Ss about the homework. It was listed in the worksheet which was distributed to the Ss. She explained what to do with the worksheet and made sure that all Ss knew what to do and submitted it in the next meeting. She gave the review about the types of conditional sentences in order to help the Ss to finish the homework. The ET also informed the Ss that next meeting was their progress test or daily exam. She asked the Ss to prepare well. The ET ended the class by greeting and saying goodbye. Field Note, observation After the researcher conducted classroom observation, she interviewed some students in the same day. From the interview, it could be seen that there were several problems related to the students. The problems emerged from the students’ lack of speaking skills and it affected their speaking achievement. It could be seen from the interview transcript below. R: Suka sama pelajaran Bahasa Inggris nggak dek? Do you like English lesson? S: Suka, Miss. Bahasa Inggris kan Bahasa International, semua sekarang ada Bahasa Inggrisnya. Jadi semisal pas baca-baca artikel di internet yang pake Bahasa Inggris ngerti dikit lah maksudnya apa. I like it, Miss. English is a universal language. English is everywhere. I can understand some English article on the internet. R: Iya bener juga. Terus gimana ngikuti pelajarannya di sekolah? Yes, that is right. How do you feel when you study English lesson in school? S: Tergantung guru sama mood, Miss. Kalau lagi badmood ya ndengerin gurunya ngomong aja udah males. It is based on the teacher and also the mood, Miss. When I am in a bad mood, it is really hard for me to pay attention to the teacher’s explanation R: Merasa bosen gitu ya? Did you feel bored? S: Iya miss. Pernah dulu miss waktu ngapalin kosakata dan gak hapal- hapal. Jenuh miss, gak semangat gitu. Yes, Miss. Long ago, I practiced memorizing a lot of vocabularies, and it was really hard to remember all the words. I feel bored, I have no spirit R: Lalu harapan kamu ada pelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang kayak gimana? What is your expected teaching activity? S: Ya pokoknya yang menyenangkan pembelajarannya. Kayak ada individual perform misalnya yang sebelum pelajaran itu lho miss. Terus pake game gitu biar muridnya senang, moodnya juga baik buat ngikuti pelajaran. I expect an enjoyable teaching and learning activity. It is like the individual once perform before teaching and learning starts. Games would be great, Miss. The students would be more enthusiastic in following the English lesson R: Oh yang kaya gitu. Eh suka nggak sih sama speaking? Semisal pelajaran Bahasa Inggris lebih ditekankan speaking nya gimana? I see. Do you like speaking practice? How about speaking practice becomes the main focus of English lesson? S: Kalau ditanya suka speaking ya suka. Lebih mending speaking aja tiap pertemuan daripada ada ulangan harian. Hahaha. Tapi speaking ku gak bagus, Miss. Bagus itu kalau Bahasa Inggris ditekankan speaking nya. Kemampuan speaking nya kan makin terasah. It could be said yes. I prefer speaking than daily exam. Hahaha. But my speaking ability is really bad, Miss. I agree with that. It makes the students practice speaking more and more R: Yaps bener. Lalu kesulitanmu speaking tuh apa? What is your difficulty of speaking? S: Banyak miss. Grammar, minim vocab, grogi, ilat jowo. Hahaha. Masih takut salah-salah pas speaking di depan kelas. Apalagi tanpa persiapan, wah udah gak tau jadi apa di depan. I still did the grammatical error, the lack of vocabulary, nervousness, and I cannot pronounce words correctly. Especially when I have to speak without any preparation, I do not know what happens next
