70 Rizka also admitted that she takes notes of the lesson she gets in the class.

From the conversation, Rizka is conscious that in order to understand deeper on her learning, she needs to actively ask someone or make any kind of highlight to
help her remembering the information and studying faster or easier at home, so that she is consciously doing it when she needs to study at home.
From Rizka‘s interview result, the researcher concludes that Rizka believes that more practices in speaking English are needed to be able to speak
and communicate in English. The researcher also finds that Rizka has good consciousness to learn by herself. It can be indicated from her opinion about the
function of homework and assignment and also the importance of note-taking and highlighting informations from the lesson. The only problem on
Rizka‘s experiences is only her dependence on her mood and classroom situation while
studying or paying attention in the class.
