Learners’ reflection should be guided by different types of meta-cognitive knowledge. The reflection can focus on one or more of the following points:
demands of the speaking tasks that they have become aware of, the strategies which are useful for meeting the demands of the task, their informal assessment of
their capabilities and performance, areas of their performance that show improvement, areas to be further improved, plans for improving specific areas.
They could also be encouraged to draw on their experiences and to consider how they could prepare themselves for future tasks of a similar nature,
whether these tasks are in the classroom or in communicative contexts outside the classroom.
g. Stage 7: Facilitate Feedback on Learning
In this final stage of teaching-speaking cycle, the teachers provide learners with important feedback on their performance. This feedback can take many
forms and the teachers do not always have to be the one giving it. Generally, feedback can take the form of comments or grades about an individual student’s
skills and performance from observation sheets used during the speaking task, exchange of written individual learner reflections and comments on each other’s
progress and achievements, consolidated comments from the teachers based on written reflections from the class, written comments in students’ journal,
comments and informal assessment in their blogs. Students can also be asked to comment on one another’s reflections. The
feedback given can also be based on their performance in a spoken task that the teachers have been able to observe.

as to influence behavior and attitudes p. 99. Therefore, supporting by this theory, this research is talking about how the students of SMK Sanjaya Pakem receive,
organize and interpret the process of Community Language Learning to develop their speaking skill.
The process of the Community Language Learning application must be based on the counseling metaphor. It means the relationship between the teacher
and the students is like the relationship between a counselor and a client. Moreover, this method makes the teacher treat the students as a whole person that
means the teacher understands the students’ feelings, physical reactions, instinctive protective reactions, and desire to learn. It draws on counseling
metaphor where the teacher stands as the counselor and the students are the clients who need a help.
The role of the teacher is as a counselor. In this case, the teacher knows everything of what the students need in learning the language. Moreover, the
