8. Written tests is used to evaluate the students. 9.
Teacher gives correct answer if the students make errors or even don’t know the right answers.
2. Previous Study of Researcher
The researcher commits research and observation in the classroom. the researcher conducts experimental research. Observation is carried out in a
eight grader students of Junior High School level. There are twenty-two students. Two-hours classes are conducted four times a week. The observation
process is as follows: The researcher enters the classroom. the researcher gives away reading
material. The material consists of a passage which the title is ―Puma at Large‖ and several tasks to do. First, researcher calls several students to read the
passage. Several students are called to complete reading the text. During reading, researcher makes correction to students errors. This means that
researcher tries to eliminate or minimize errors in reading. It also means that no repetition in reading error that can be made by other students.
After several students complete reading the whole text, researcher asks them whether they have difficult words or phrases. If there is difficult ones,
the researcher tries to ask other students to find the meaning in several ways, such as: finding synonym, describing, or finding the closest meaning in
English. In this case, the researcher tries to boost or even enlarge vocabularies. The researcher makes sure that every student understands the meaning
of the text, either partially or the whole. After that, researcher asks several students to retell the story. Several students are called in fron of class or just

from their seats. At this point, researcher tries to make sure that they can memorize the plot of the story. Then, students are asked to answer reading
comprehensi on questions. Students’ answers of every question could be not
exactly the same, but researcher defines the right answer. After all the questions are answered, the researcher continues by asking students to make
composition to desired purpose. In this case, the researcher asks them to make a letter or part of the letter.
Then the sequence of delivering material as follows: synonym and antonym, gives them grammatical rules, ask them to make sentences using
related with grammar rule given and several practices for writing. In this case the researcher keeps on assisting of speaking English all the time.
Several implementation principles are 1 researcherteacher must insist the students to use English all the time; gaining more vocabularies is
very essential. 2 researcher tries to combine reading skill and speaking skill. 3 teacher doesn’t role absolutedominant position. Teacher gives many
opportunities for students to be active. 4 researcher doesn’t ignore the students’ development in speaking skill which is ignored by previous GTM.
Freeman observes learning process in classroom only. The difference of this research is the writer involves directly to the classroom. In another words the
researcher participate in the research from the start until the end. This makes the research completely different from previous researches or observation.
