CHAPTER IV Research Findings and Discussion

A. Reconnaissance

In conducting the research, I worked collaboratively with other research members including the English teacher and the VII F students of SMP N 4 Magelang. To identify some problems found in English teaching and learning process in SMP N 4 Yogyakarta, class observations, interviews, and survey were conducted. Based on the first reconnaissance process , it can be concluded that students‟ faced some problems when they wrote. Second, the English teacher of VII F class and students were interviewed to find out their opinion related to the teaching and learning process. Third, survey was conducted through distributing the questionnaire before the implementation. The questionnaire questions described some possible problems that students had during writing.

1. Identification of the Field Problem

The identification of the problem was obtained through the class observation, survey and interview. The first observation was conducted on Thursday, 20 th February 2014. The situation of the English teaching and learning process in VII F class was shown in these following vignettes: To get the situation of teaching and learning process deeply in VII F class, I observed the class again. Here is the vignette: “Ok, I had divided the class into some groups. Please listen” ETEnglish Teacher made the group class arrangement. Some Ss Students felt in hurry to meet their group. Then, ET divided Ss‟s book. She asked them to find and analyze the adjectives and pronouns used in the ir friends‟ descriptive texts. ET reviewed the last material before .After that, the students should report the result in their group first. Ss started their discussion group, but some of students were inactive and did not contribute. Then, in almost end of class, ET was called by the headmaster so the researcher R was asked to replace her administering the class. R should administer the stude nts‟ participation in group discussion also asked them to present their res ult in front of the class. “Ok, class. Have you finished your work?” Belum pak ” Not yet , sir”. They say that they had not finished yet to identify and to write their idea answer to their book. Then R asked Ss to start their presentation “Ok who wants to be the first group sharing their discussion result in front of the class? Don‟t be afraid. “However, Ss looked passive and waited R to point the group…. Vignette 1, 20th February 2014 ……. Ss‟ looked having discussion in pairs to finish their job in making draft about asking and giving information about the notices found in the public area. “ Iki inggrise apa ya ”“What can we say in English these words?” Some students which did not bring dictionary asked their friends some words that possibly used to the other pairs. They looked confused to make it. Even they asked me “ pak, kalo begini betul tidak ya ? ” “Are these words correct or not, Sir ?” R checked Ss‟ work and found some misspelling word writing. “Do you bring your dictionary? Please consult your words in the draft .” “ Coba cek draft mu pakai kamus “ … Finally I warned to point Ss again randomly. Ss complained “ Jangan saya pak ”, “B elum jadi nih ” “ Nanti kalo salah gimana pak. ” “I do not finish it, Sir ”, “I am afraid of making mistake ” Some Ss replied …..in the draft they still wrote the misspelling words on their draft that they gave to me later ignored the use of punctuation, capitalization, and unclear word written related to their mechanics.
