purpose of using this level based on Cotton 2001 listed is to review and summarize previous lesson. Another purpose is probably to encourage
students’ participation in a lesson Richard, 1996 as can be seen from this question:
Anyone knows what letter is? 11
th
observation, 23
th
of April The topic of the lesson in the 11
th
observation was about letter in 8
th
grade. By the question above, the students were engaged to give response.
2. Comprehension
In the comprehension level students are required to understand a context by explaining or summarizing, stating ideas and retell a context using
their own words. E.g. What is the first paragraph about? 5
th
observation, 21
th
of February
In that particular context, students should understand the text, and then answer the question using their own words.
Another sample question can be seen as in this example: So, what is orientation? Orientation itu apa? 5
th
observation, 21
st
of February

The question was classified into comprehension level because the students are required to summarize or conclude about what orientation is, which had been
talked before. As for the possible reason of questions at this level is probably to
encourage students to think and focus on the content of the lesson Richard, 1996. E.g.
What should be there? 11
th
Observation, 23
rd
of April In the 11
th
observation, teacher and eighth-grade students were talking about letter which is recount text. The students would be directed to comprehend
and focus on the content of the passage given by the teacher which was the letter. Another possibility of using this level was to elicit particular vocabulary
as can be seen from this example: ‘furious itu apa?
‘ran home apa?
what is promise? what is huge disaster?
what is disaster? Huge? ‘nonstop’ ki opo? What is ‘nonstop’? 12
th

Similar to the 11
th
observation, the lesson in the 12
th
observation was also about letter in eighth grade. Here, teacher and students were discussing
an example of letter. From the above questions, we can see that the students
18
were asked to elicit vocabulary to translate and understand the meaning of the sentence in the passage. Meanwhile, another possible reason for using the
comprehension question was to encourage students to participate in a lesson, as in the example below:
Will you say something about formal letter? 11
