th
October 2009. IA started the lesson by greeting the students and checking
students’ attendance and asking about the students’ condition. In the introduction phase, IA told the students that they would learn about
“Order and Request”. The situation was quiet because they haven’t known yet about what order and request is. In this activity, IA still
applied experiential learning by using role play.

In the presentation phase, IA read the sentences about order and request and asked the students to repeat after her. She also asked the
students to do the order and request sentences in real condition. When IA read the sentence “Clean the blackboard, please” she asked the

students to do that in reality. She said to one of the students to clean the blackboard. But the first time the student didn’t understand what the
teacher said because they did not know the meaning, and then the teacher said “Bagas, clean the blackboard, please” then the teacher
said in Indonesia “Bagas, tolong hapuskan papan tulisnya”. After knowing the meaning of the order given by the teacher most of the
student said “oalahhh, iku toh artinya”, then Bagas, the student whom teacher asked to clean the blackboard said “OK, miss” then the teacher
thanked to the student by saying “Thank you, Bagas”, the student answered “ You’re welcome miss”. Then, she asked them to give the
meaning of each word. There were some who still did not know their meaning. She, then, discussed the words with the students. The
discussion was supposed to understand the meaning of the words. The teacher also tried to help the students by motivating the students to
memorize the meaning of the sentences that had been learned. · Aspect of spelling

randomly to spell the words alone. · Aspect of pronunciation
In improving the students’ ability to pronounce the new words related to order and request command. IA gave a model of order and
request by praticing a dialogue using role play. The students paid attention to it. Then, she and one of the students stood in front of the
class demonstrating a model of order and request by role playing and the other students tried to listen attentively. She gave a chance to the
students to practice it with their partners. The class was crowded, but they enjoyed doing the role play. While the students were practicing,
the teacher monitored their pronouncing. · Aspect of using word
In the last step of improving English vocabulary by using experiential learning is teaching how to use word. After the students
were trained how to know the meaning, the spelling, and the pronunciation of new words, IA gave some exercises to the students
individually to write down in English to form order and request in
correct sentence and arrange the jumble words to make command. The
answers were then checked together, and then the teacher and the students were reviewing the topic about order and request.
