Student’s lack of listening skill

In order to fulfill that purpose, the writer formulate a research question, “What problems happened in giving instructions for Elementary Students of Bethany School?” In the discussion about teachers delivery method, the writer found out three main problems encountered by the teachers in delivering the instructions. The first problem was complex long instructions. The writer found out that teachers tended to give long instructions with complex structure which made students confused and didn’t know what to do. The second problem was inappropriate word choices. In this part, teachers often used difficult vocabularies which couldn’t be understood by very young learner. As a result, teachers had to repeat the instructions, so the students could understand it. In the last problem which was not checking students understanding, teachers only stated what they expected from the students to do and didn’t check whether they did it properly or not, so the students didn’t pay attention it and only joking or mumbling. Furthermore, from the observation and interview conducted, the writer discovered some other instructional problems faced by the teacher that did not listed in chapter 2, such as : giving instructions before gaining students’ attention. The teacher have to look around the class to check whether all of the students have ready to listen to the instruction given or not. She couldn’t start the instruction before gaining all of students’ attention, because it will be hard for young learner to follow the whole instruction later. Moreover, the writer also found out that students were also the problem for teachers to give instructions properly in the class. The first problem was lack of listening skill, students limited vocabulary because they were still young learner gave teachers difficulties in explaining the instructions to the students. The second problem was student’s misbehave while teacher gave instructions. Students could easily be distracted by many things around them while the teachers gave instructions. It can be their friends or stuffs. That was why teachers aim from the material couldn’t be achieved perfectly. The last was mismatch between teachers instructions and students performances. Students often thought that they have understood what teachers said, whereas they were still wrong. This was why the misconception between teachers expectation and students execution occurred regularly. Although the study has reached its aim, there were still some limitations of this study. Therefore, the findings of this study cannot be generalized to higher level of students. It was because the subject of this study were first, second, and third grade of Elementary students who clasified into young learner of English. Therefore, the other similar study might reveal different result. The writer strongly recommended for other researchers who are interested in conducting a further similar study to broaden the scope of their study and take a deeper interview with the teachers after the observation sessions end. So, the writers can understand well about teacher’s reason for their action when the problems occurs after their given instructions. Furthermore, with more through interview we could do a better comparison about teacher’s idealism in giving instructions and their actualization in the real teaching learning process. .
