f. Sometimes the practice teacher gives an unclear explanation or
instruction to my students so that he needs to repeat his explanation or instruction several times, which means not effective.
Participant 1
A practice teacher may have his instruction written on the students‟ handout that are distributed, written on the whiteblackboard, or
showed on the power point slide. By having a written instruction added by the teachers‟ explanation about the instruction, students
may have a better understanding of the instruction so that there is need to repeat the instruction again and again.
Participant 2
The key is actually on the practice teach er‟s preparation. A practice
teacher should really prepare what he is going to say in the classroom, including the instruction. Make it as simple as possible
so that the students will easily get the point.
Participant 3
In giving a teaching explanation or instruction, it is better for a practice teacher to use simple language so that the students can
understand the point of the teachers‟ words. The written instruction that is clearly explained will also be helpful for students.
Participant 4
A practice teacher should understand the skill of the students first. If it is impossible for the students to get all the explanation and
instruction in English, then the teacher can combine the language to help the students understand the explanation and instruction of
the teacher. But, the use of the combination of the English and Bahasa Indonesia must be applied, only if the students do not
100 understand. As long as the students understand what the teacher
explain and instruct, then the use of English is a must, in my opinion.
Participant 5
First, I usually used English as the communicative language. But then when my students did not get my point, I switched my
language into Bahasa Indonesia. I think it is very effective rather than repeating the instruction or explanation again by using
English. While explaining the instruction, I usually also approached my confused students to give them more explanation
so that they could understand my point.
Participant 6
First, a mahasiswa PPL needs to know his or her students‟ ability in English. If it is possible to give the students instructions in full
English, then just do it because it will improve the students‟ listening skills too. But if the students have low ability in English,
maybe it is better to combine English and Bahasa Indonesia when we give instructions.
