4.1.3.2 The Process of Repetition
Process of repetition is a process in teaching-learning activities where the teacher repeats the activities that she had ever taught to the students at process of
introduction again and again, and sometimes she will improve the activities or combine them each other or involve them by playing a game.
One of the teachers, madam Siti Ilmiani says that process of repetition is also a kind of process of imitation and habit. Here, students try to imitate what the teacher
has ever said and demonstrated to them. Then they try to remember and do what they

have ever heard, seen, and understood about all the material taught again and again, and keep all of them in their mind.
So in this process, the important thing which the teacher takes more attention is the repetition of those activities by doing them again and again. And it is better for
them if the teacher can improve or develope the way of teaching or combine them each other or by playing a game. It is useful for them to avoid the bored atmosphere
in teaching-learning activities. We can see the combination clearly froom the teacher-students dialogue
below: The teache holds a red artificial appe, takes it up, and shows it to the students.
Then she asks them to follow waht she says. Teacher
: This is apple Students
: This is apple Teacher
: The colour is red Students
: The colour is red Teacher
: This is one apple Students
: This is one apple
Then teacher asks to the students. Teacher
: What is this? Apa ini? Students
: Apple Teacher
: What is the colour? Apa warna apel ini? Students
: Red Teacher
: How many apple? Berapa banyak apelnya? Students
: One

This model of dialog will be repeated by the teacher again and again from days to days with different things, colours, and amount. It is done in order to give the
understading of those thigs ad concept of colour and amount to them and the varieties or differences among those things. So, they can differ apple and orange, red
and yellow, one and two, and etc, although they can not give the complete answer. Here, the teacher also use their native language to help the students to understand
what she asks to them. It is not forbidden since te teacher‟s target for the students is their listenings and undersatndings to what she says, not the utterances from the
students not the speaking ability. For some activities and emotional reactions, the important is the
demonstration of those activities. Here, the teacher always demonstrates those activities and actions again and again in order they can imitate and also understand
them well. And for some activities, the teacher usually combines them with playing a game.
And also for some simple daily conversation, the teacher will say those sentences again and again in order to make them become familiar to those sentences,
and be able to understand what the sntences mean. So they can answer the teacher‟s question in English, although in a short form or not in complete one. And here once
again the face expression and body language or gesture from the teacher are really needed the students understand what she says well.
For memorizing and be able to sing the song, the teacher just repeat those song again and again among the times of learning. Here, the teacher always sings the
song from the beginning till the end lyrics of the song. The students just repeat the words of the sog sunk by the teacher and also the tones. On this process, the students
need to hear the words of the song and try to repeat and memorize them in their

mind. It is also the process of habit or usuality. More much time they always hear them, more quickly they can sing those songs.
In the process of repetition at teaching-learning activities, teacher uses the combination of Audio Lingual Method, The Total Physical Response,
Suggestopedia, Communicative Language Learning, and The Silent Way. We can clearly see as follows:
a. Process of repetition is a process of habit Audio Lingual Method
b. Teachers start with material that they have already know in the process of
introduction before developing the lesson with the others or their combination The Silent Way
c. Teachers make some variations in teaching the materials Suggestopedia
d. Errors can be tolerated, but the teachers should correct them immediately
Suggestopedia and Audio Lingual Method e.
Students still begin to speak when they are ready Total Physical Response f.
Teachers still use their native language to help students to clear up the meaning what they say, usually some orders and questions and also use the target language
Communicative Language Learning
The techniques in the process of repetition at teaching-learning activities are same like in the process of introduction. In this process, the teacher repeats the same
techniques to make the studnets remember about the materials that the teacher has been taught.
