and did what their teacher told them to do. Then, the teacher asked them to perform it in front of the class. Though the students were very noisy, they paid attention to the
teacher’s explanation. They still had difficulties in understanding English; therefore, the teacher made a direct interaction with them by observing the class thoroughly. With
this, the teacher would understand their difficulties.

Explanation
The third observation was done on Wednesday, September 27
th
in class 2OA. The main activity in this class on this day was checking the students’ homework. First of all, the
teacher checked the students’ work by asking some of them to read their assignment. Second, she asked them to discuss their homework with their friends, and then to retell
their homework in front of the class. In this activity, the students were motivated to speak in English, since the teacher gave them more opportunities to communicate in
