42 joined the class. “okay. So Mr Agus and Ms Wati, masih mau penelitian disini. Jadi mereka mau mengamati kalian belajar hari ini.” Some of the students greeted the researcher and the collaborator. They had already known the researcher and the collaborator since the researcher and the collaborator had internship KKNPPL in this school months ago, and they learned English together that time. After that, the teacher started to explain what they would learn that day. The teacher said that they were going to learn to write. Then the teacher asked the students to make a group of four and handed them with an envelope for each group. The envelope was contained with jumbled words. And the students were asked to rearrange the words into a correct sentence and wrote it on the board. The students, then, did a little discussion with their group and some of them were just talking and waiting the others to finish the task. And when it came for the students to write down their works, some of the group made common mistakes. Then, the teacher asked the students to check their work together.

Hence, the teacher asked them to sit down and start doing the exercise. When they were asked to sit down and do the exercise, they said that they didn’t know what to do. Hence, the researcher guided them in doing the exercise. The researcher and the collaborator helped the teacher in monitoring the class activities. Some of the students were so active that they asked many questions regarding to the activities. The researcher walked from one group to another to answer some question. After that, the teacher asked some of the students to write their work down on the whiteboard. The teacher picked the students from each pair randomly and the chosen students wrote their work on the whiteboard. After that, the teacher together with the students checked the answers on the whiteboard. The teacher not only checked the answer but also gave further explanation regarding the material. When it was ten minutes left for the teaching-learning process, the teacher summed up the materials that had been given by asking some question to the students. After that, the teacher gave some homework that should be submitted in next meeting. After that, the teacher closed the class.
