Izzatul Getasan. Based on the teaching-learning observation in SD IT Izzatul Islam Getasan, the researcher found some problems in the teaching-learning
process in this school. First, this school did not have many facilities for the English teaching-learning process, especially listening. The listening media in this
school were very limited. Besides, some interesting media such as pictures, flashcards, or English story books were rarely used in the teaching-learning
process. When the teacher wanted to gave a listening practice, the teacher only asked the students to pay attention to what the teacher said. There was no listening
practice which was assisted by the use of media. It made the learning process boring.
Second, the students did not have a good intention for the English teaching- learning process, especially listening. They felt that it was such a boring and
difficult activity whereas they needed it to improve their listening skill. It happened because the activities seemed to be monotonous. There was no variation
of listening activities which could make the students participate in the teaching- learning process actively. It made the students lose their interests in the teaching-
learning process. That is why the material should be delivered in interesting media to help the students understand the lesson.
