The first meeting was conducted on Wednesday, 28
th
April 2010. It began at 07.00 am and ended at 08.20 am, taking place in the language laboratory.
Acting as the teacher was the researcher, and acting as the observer was Mrs. U, the English teacher of the class.
The teacher opened the lesson by greeting and reintroducing herself. Everyone was present that day. She then checked students’ readiness to join the
lesson. The class condition was crowded and noisy. After having the students quiet, she stated the topic they were going to learn that day.
To begin the discussion, the teacher posed a question to the students whether they had ever heard about ranch. No students answered the question.
They were not familiar with the word “ranch”. Some students were busy opening dictionaries, some others were quiet. The dictionaries the students used were not
standard, so they could not find the meaning of “ranch”. Then, she explained the meaning of “ranch”. After that, she asked the students to mention some words
they knew dealing with ranch. Some students just kept silent. Some others tried to

answer the question although they made some mistakes in pronouncing the words they mentioned. She then corrected their mistakes.
The teacher then posed the next question. She asked the students dealing with their experience in the ranch. No one was willing to answer the question, so
she pointed the chairman of the class to tell his experience. The next turn was given to the boy student who was pointed by the chairman of the class. Later, she
made a discussion about the story. She let the students to mention some words dealing with ranch from what their friend had told. She also gain some other
words from the rest of the class. Afterwards, the teacher asked her students if they were interested in
cartoon film. Most girl students answered “Yes” and a few boy students answered “No”. After having short conversation with the students, the teacher played the
film about experience in a farm. Since the video was on, the teacher asked the students to write the difficult word they heared in the video to their book.
Unfortunately, most of the students did not follow her instructions. She asked some students to find out why it happened. After that, she knew that the students
did not understand the difficult words because there is no subtitle. Most of them got nothing since they could not clearly catch the words spoken in the film. Only
three students could grasp some words in the video. Then, the teacher asked three students who had noted their difficult words to write down on the whiteboard and
pronounce them. The students in fact could pronounce the words well but they misspelled them. She also asked the students to find out the meaning of the words
in their dictionary.

After that, the teacher decided to replay the video with English subtitle. The students looked happy. The teacher repeated the same task to the students, to
write down the difficult words on their book. Since the video was turned on, the teacher moved around the class to monitor the students’ activities. From her
monitoring of the students’ works, she found that the students still had difficulties in spelling some words that should have be familiar for eighth grade.
Because of the limited time, the researcher only replayed half of the video. After that, she and the students discussed the unfamiliar words together.
She wrote the words on the whiteboard. Then, she taught them the meaning, how they should be spelled, and how they should be pronounced. She asked the
students to find the antonyms and synonyms of the words. The teacher also asked the students to make some sentences by using the words. Since the time was
limited, the teacher set this task as students’ homework. In the end of the meeting, the teacher asked students’ about their feeling.
She asked them about their perception about her using film as teaching learning media. “What is your perception about that film? Bagaimana pendapat kalian
tentang film itu?” One of them answered, “Seneng bu, ceritanya bagus.” Other student answered the same way, “Seneng bu, menarik” However, another student
sitting in front of the teacher’s desk answered, “Boring bu, ceritanya gak menarik.”
She also asked the students about their difficulty in grasping the meaning in the film and then gave some solution for them. They answered “Bahasanya
asing”, “Ngomongnya kecepetan”. The teacher gave them motivation that they

would soon get accustomed with English sounds, and they would got it easier by taking more practice. Finally, she reminded the students to do their homework and
closed the meeting.
2 The Second Meeting
The second meeting was also conducted in the language laboratory. It was held on Thursday, 29
th
April 2010. The topic was the same, it was about experience in the farm. The teacher started the lesson by greeting the students and
checking attendant list. Afterwards, she asked the students to write their homeworks on the whiteboard. Then, they disccused it together. The next section
was showing the example of simple present tense and past tense. Next, the teacher gave the students a worksheet. Then, she asked them to
watch the same film again as the one played the day before. While watching the film, she asked them to complete the missing words in their worksheet. They
might not open their dictionary. They should try to catch the words from the film. This was aimed at training the students to identify the meaning of words. Besides,
through this activity, they could also learn how to spell words correctly, and recognize the words spoken in the film. After watching the video, they were given
some more minutes to complete the worksheet. Having finished completing the worksheet, the students then discussed
their work together with the teacher. Some mistakes were done by the students both in identifying the correct words to fill in the blanks and in spelling the words.
The teacher helped them find their mistakes and how to correct them. Then, she led the students relist the correct missing words.

Before ending the activity, the teacher asked the students to work in pair. She asked the students to make four sentences from any four of the missing words
they have completed through the listening activity. After that, they disscussed their work together.
Next, the teacher reviewed the material and asked students’ feeling during teaching and learning process. Because it was the last period, the teacher
asked the chairman of the class to lead the praying session. Finally, she closed the meeting by saying good bye.
3 The Third Meeting The third meeting was held on Saturday, 1
st
May 2010 at the two last periods. The topic was the same as the one in the previous meeting; it was about
experience in the farm. As usual, the teacher opened the lesson by greeting the students first. After that, she checked students’ attendance.
Afterward, the teacher presented a power point about some words dealing with farm and asked her students to read. She found that the students had poor
pronounciation. After that, she played a film with English subtitle. She asked the students to pay attention to the pronounciation. Unfortunately, the students got
nothing. They felt the actreess spoke too fast. Then, the teacher paused the film on the particular words. This method worked quite well.
She then wrote some words dealing with experience in the farm. She asked the students to spell and pronounce the words. Some students could do it
well but some others made mistakes. Then, she drilled the whole class.

Next, the researcher distributed the copies of the material and started to review the vocabulary the students had learned in the previous meeting. Some
students were very noisy, so the researcher warned them. “Can you keep silent?” she said. Then they continued the discussion together.
Finally, the researcher closed the lesson by thanking the students for their attention and then said goodbye.
