The writer did the survey before implementing this research, and the aim is to know the detail information about the class condition which
would be taken for this research. The further explanation will be explained as follow:
a. The Result of Observation

Type 2. The English teacher gave the explanation of the material without connecting simple past tense and irregular verb, although in
30
31
Conditional Sentence is very related to those materials simple past tense and irregular. Then he gave the formula of conditional sentence
type 2 and he asked to the students to memorize it. He did not connect the subject matter with their life or what they had been facing in their
real life. This teacher-oriented technique was less effective because the students were expected to remember the formula, consequently if
they did not remember it they would not be able to make the sentences of the material was being taught. The teacher gave the example of
conditional sentence type 2 was too far from the real situation or their real life so that they were difficult to understand the lesson. If he made
the example using hot issues or the event which had been facing in their life, it would be easy to understand the lesson. Besides, the
teacher also told too much during teaching learning process, therefore the students as good listeners without giving opportunities for the
students to give ideas or opinions, comments, even to ask the questions. Finally, they got low scores in doing exercise.

of vocabulary. The writer stated this statement because while she was observing, many students asked the vocabularies they used in doing
exercises to another student. Moreover they didn‟t know the change of
the verbs. They haven‟t mastered either simple past tense or irregular verb. As the result, they still made much mistakes in completing the
verb in conditional sentence type 2. It meant that the students got low achievement.

with their real experience, their real situation in their life, with the realities they are facing in their life. So that they will understand the
subject matter easily, they will be more fun in learning, and they will get higher motivation. As the result they will achieve the minimal
