B. Research Problems

In order to find out the practice teachers ‟ problems in managing classroom during the School Practice Program, two research questions are raised in this research. Those two research questions are: 1. What are the English Language Education Study Program ELESP practice teachers‟ problems in managing classroom during the School Practice Program? 2. What are the possible solutions to the English Language Education Study Program ELESP practice teachers‟ problems in managing classroom during the School Practice Program?

C. Problem Limitation

In accordance with the problem formulations above, this research focuses on the English Language Education Study Program practice teachers‟ experience in managing classroom when they have the School Practice Program. Since the discussion of the problem can be too wide, the researcher focuses on the problems in managing classroom only and focuses on finding the possible solution to those problems. Moreover, the researcher also limits his research by only choosing the English Language Education Study Program students in the academic year of 2009, who have taken or who have been taking the School Practice Program course, as the subject of his research. 6

D. Research Objectives

The researcher conducts this research in order to find out and to identify the English Language Education Study Program practice teachers ‟ problems in managing classroom during the School Practice Program. In addition, related to the questions mentioned in the problem formulations, this research also aims to find possible solutions to the practice teachers ‟ problems in managing classroom during the School Practice Program.

E. Research Benefits

The research brings many benefits for the lecturers of ELESP Sanata Dharma University, the practice teachers, the future practice teachers, and the future researchers. 1. ELESP Lecturers This research is expected to give essential contribution to the ELESP lecturers. Knowing the practice teachers ‟ problems in managing classroom during the School Practice Program, the lecturers are expected to consider the importance of giving appropriate examples in managing classroom and in handling classroom problems. As a result, the practice teachers can adapt the way their lecturers managing the classroom when the practice teachers have to teach in a real classroom during the School Practice Program. Then, it is also expected that the examples of the strategy to manage classroom can make the future practice teachers prevent and solve classroom management problems. 7 2. ELESP Practice Teachers This research is also beneficial to the ELESP practice teachers. As a subject of this research, they need to find the classroom management problems that they experience and to identify the possible solutions to those problems during the School Practice Program by filling the questionnaire designed by the researcher. Therefore, they can indirectly make careful reflection about the classroom management problems that they have experienced during the School Practice Program. Moreover, the ELESP practice teachers, who are the teacher candidates, are expected to be able to learn about how to solve problems in managing classroom when the ELESP practice teachers become real teachers in the future. 3. Future ELESP Practice Teachers The researcher expects that this research also gives benefits to the future ELESP practice teachers, who are the ELESP students that have not taken the School Practice Program. By presenting the ELESP practice teachers ‟ problems in managing classroom and the possible solutions to those problems, it is expected that the future ELESP practice teachers can anticipate the classroom management problems that may emerge during the School Practice Program. Therefore, the future ELESP practice teachers are expected not to have the same problems as the ELESP practice teachers who have previously done the School Practice Program. 4. Future Researchers Future researchers that have the same interest as the researcher may find this research as a reference for them. Beside giving the description of the ELESP practice teachers ‟ problems in managing classroom, this research also gives some 8 recommendations for the future researchers so that the future researchers can have more detailed research. It is expected that this research, which can be used as a reference, can be useful for the future researchers to finish their research.
