Reconnaissance In this stage, the researcher gathered data to find out problems existing in English teaching and learning process, especially in speaking, by doing observation and interview held in VIII B class of MTS N Ngemplak. The interview was done twice. The first interview was done with the English teacher and the second was done with the students. The interview was done right after the observation conducted on March 3, 2015. The situation of the English teaching and learning process can be seen in the following vignette. I = Researcher ET = English teacher S = Student Observation Tuesday March 3, 2015 The ET entered the classroom, and then he greeted all Ss. Most students were still busy preparing their books and tidying up their tables. The ET repeated greeting the Ss. All Ss replied. The ET asked their condition and called the roll. The ET started the lesson by asking Ss what they learned in the previous meeting. All Ss were silent. No one answered the ET’s questions. Most of them forgot. He asked the same question once more. Only few girls sitting in the front row still remembered and answered softly. The ET reviewed the previous topic a bit. The ET invited the Ss to come the main topic of that day which was “Asking and Giving Opinion’. He opened LKS and said, “OK, now open your LKS page 15.” He showed the Ss the expressions of asking and giving opinion in the LKS. He pronounced the expressions loudly. The Ss listened and repeated after him. After pronouncing the expressions, he explained the expressions. He explained the materials mostly using Bahasa Indonesia. English was rarely used. Then, he asked the Ss the meaning of the expressions they just pronounced. Unfortunately, no one answered. While the ET explained and pronounced the expressions of asking and giving opinion, some boys sitting in the back rows were noisy. They were busy having chit-chat. A boy was laying his head on his table. Some others looked sleepy. Some were busy doing random things like scrawling random pictures on their books, playing with their pens, and many more. Only few Ss sitting in the front rows paid attention to the ET. The ET realized that a S was sleeping. He then came to the S and woke him up. The ET asked him the expressions of asking and giving opinion, yet the S could not answer the question. Then, the ET continued explaining the materials. All Ss were invited to have a look at a dialog in their LKS. The ET got them, in pairs, observed and underlined which statement showed the expressions of asking and giving opinion. After few minutes finding out the expressions in the dialog, the Ss were asked to mention the expressions orally. Then, they practiced the dialog in pairs. Not all Ss did what the ET asked them to do. Again, some boys sitting in the back rows were noisy and did not practice the dialog. After the dialog practice, some students were voluntarily invited to perform the dialog in front of the class. Not all Ss performed the dialog in front of the class, since the time was almost up. No one was willing to come forward. After few minutes waiting, the ET then called on a pair of boys who were so noisy during the lesson to perform the dialog in front of the class. They rejected, yet the ET insisted. After the dialog performing, the Ss did a task in their LKS in pairs. While all Ss did the task, the ET went around the classroom making sure that all Ss knew what to do. He gave some help to those who did not understand yet. The bell rang, but all Ss had not finished the task yet. Therefore, they brought the task home and submitted it in the next meeting. The ET ended the class by greeting and saying good bye. Based on the observation and interview, the researcher found some problems happening during the English teaching and learning process. The problems needed to be fixed, so the English teaching and learning goal could be achieved.
