Handling the Students in the 4th Grade at Paulus Elementary School Who Had Low Motivation in Learning English.
ABSTRACT
Dalam Tugas Akhir ini, saya menganalisis masalah yang saya alami ketika
melakukan program magang di SDK Paulus Bandung, yaitu sulitnya mengatasi
beberapa murid kelas empat di SDK Paulus yang tidak termotivasi dalam belajar
Bahasa Inggris. Berdasarkan analisis masalah tersebut, saya menemukan tiga
penyebab. Penyebab pertama adalah secara umumnya, murid di kelas empat sedang
dalam fase tidak memiliki ketertarikan dalam mengerjakan tugas sekolah. Penyebab
kedua adalah para murid tidak mampu mengerjakan tugas Bahasa Inggris. Penyebab
ketiga adalah teknik mengajar saya tidak menarik. Masalah yang saya hadapi juga
membawa tiga dampak yang sangat berpengaruh. Dampak pertama, nilai para murid
yang tidak termotivasi tersebut berada di bawah standar kelulusan. Kedua, para murid
tidak mengerjakan tugas sekolah yang saya berikan. Ketiga, saya gagal mengatasi
murid yang tidak termotivasi untuk belajar Bahasa Inggris.
Melalui berbagai referensi, saya menemukan tiga solusi yang berpotensi untuk
mengatasi masalah di atas. Solusi pertama adalah saya akan menerapkan kerja
kelompok atau tim dalam proses pembelajaran untuk melibatkan partisipasi para
murid. Solusi kedua adalah saya akan menggunakan realia dalam mengajar Bahasa
Inggris untuk memudahkan para murid mengingat kosa kata. Solusi ketiga adalah
saya akan menjelaskan materi baru secara bertahap dan memberikan para murid
waktu untuk latihan ketika setiap tahap pembelajaran selesai. Dari ketiga solusi, dapat
saya simpulkan solusi terbaik adalah menggabungkan ketiganya, karena dengan
menyatukan ketiganya saya lebih mampu mengatasi masalah yang saya hadapi
dengan baik.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
I did my internship in Paulus Elementary School Bandung for around one and a
half month. My position was a teacher assistant and also as the teacher. I taught the
students in this school from preschool, kindergarten until elementary school. On
Mondays, I taught the students in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades. On Tuesdays, I taught the
students in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. While on Thursdays, I taught the students of
kindergarten and preschool. I taught the students with my partner who was the
English teacher in this school. My tasks during the internship were to make questions
for quizzes or to prepare worksheets for the students. I usually browsed
supplementary materials from the Internet or books in relation to the learning topics,
such as about clothing, ordinal numbers, and dates.
1
Maranatha Christian University
During my internship, especially when I had to teach the 4th grade, I found the
students had no interest in learning English. The school only had one class for 4th
grade which contained twenty students. There were eleven unmotivated students,
seven boys and four girls. In my observation, when I taught the lessons, those
students did not seem to learn well. When I explained the material in the class, they
did not pay attention and had low concentration. According to Dislen (2013), when
students have low motivation in learning, they “hesitated to get involve in the lesson.
When the teacher asked questions, they were not much eager to answer. Especially,
the students were the least motivated ones. It was difficult for them to focus on the
lesson” (para. 2). The same things happened when I taught the 4th graders. During my
internship, when I taught the 4th grade, the eleven students were not enthusiastic.
They were ignorant about the lesson and rarely answered my questions. According to
the other teacher in this school, actually some of the students in this school had no
interest in learning all lessons but especially in learning English. When they did the
assignments and quizzes, they did not do them well; as a result they got bad marks.
As far as I am concerned, the topic is important to discuss, since the students in their
primary school age, should be helped to gain awareness of the importance of learning
English.

B. Identification of the Problem
The analysis of my problem is based on three questions:
1.
Why did some students of 4th grade have low motivation in learning English?
2.
How did the problem influence the students and I during the learning process?
3.
How can I build students’ motivation in learning English?
C. Objectives and Benefits of the Study
The objectives of the study are to find out the causes and the effects of my
problem and to find the best solution for overcoming the problem. I hope by writing
this Term Paper, I can learn how to make 4th grade students motivated in learning
English and also improve creative teaching skills. Besides, the English teachers in
Paulus Elementary School Bandung will get references when they face the same
problem as mine. I also expect this term paper will be useful for readers as their
reference on the topic.
D. Description of the Institution
Paulus Elementary School Bandung, the school was established in 1950 on Jl. Dr.
Radjiman no. 11 Bandung. Before Indonesian Independence, the school was
governed by the Dutch, so education at the time was given under Dutch rules.
However, the school grew very fast and had great vision and mission from then on. It
3
Maranatha Christian University
aims to help the students build Christian characters which are discipline, courage,
competence, emotional intelligence, the spirit of learning, creativity and multiple
intelligences. This school is also completed by a laboratory room, a dining room, a
sport field, a playground, a school bus, a music room and a library. (the school profile
of Paulus Elementary School, 2015)
E. Method of the Study
I did some research to find the sources. Firstly, I took data from my internship
journal. Secondly, I did library research to find theories from reference books in the
library. I also took data from internet websites to support the study and to analyze the
causes, the effects and the solutions of my problem.
F. Limitation of the study
The study is focused on my internship experience as a teacher when teaching
English to students in 4th grade in Paulus Elementary School Bandung. The study
deals with eleven students who had low motivation in learning English. There were
seven boys and four girls, whose age was ten years old. Thus, the study is limited in
terms of finding out the causes, effects and potential solutions to the problem.

G. Organization of the Term of Paper
The first part of this Term Paper is the Abstract, followed by Declaration of
Originality, and then the next part is Acknowledgements and the Table of Contents.
Next, there is Chapter One containing the Background of the Study, Identification of
the Problem, Objectives and Benefits of the Study, Description of the Institution,
Method of the Study, Limitation of the Study and Organization of the Term Paper. It
is followed by chapter two is about Problem Analysis, in which I analyze my problem
in details and describe the causes and the effects of my problem. Chapter Three,
Potential Solutions, describes some ways to solve the problem, together with the
analysis of their positive and the negative effects. Moreover, in the fourth chapter, I
will provide the conclusion and suggestions. The term paper ends with References
containing the list of books and electronic references used in the term paper and
Appendices presenting several documents that support this term paper.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
After doing the analysis of the problem, I find that there are three causes of my
difficulties in handling the students in the 4th grade at Paulus Elementary school who
had low motivation in learning English. The first cause is commonly, students in the
4th grade were losing interest in learning. The second is the students found the task
too difficult. The third cause is my teaching techniques were not interesting. In
addition, there are also three effects of the problem. The first effect is the students’
grades were low. The second effect is the students did not do their school work. The
third effect is I failed in getting the unmotivated students to learn English. Moreover,
there are also three potential solutions to the problem. The first is I will use group
work in learning process. The second is I will use realia in teaching English. Third is
I will present the students new material in small steps and give the students practice
after each step.
17
Maranatha Christian University
After analyzing the three potential solutions and their positive and negative
effects, I decide to combine all of them as the best solutions to overcome my
problem. As all the solutions deal with teaching techniques, they can be applied in
every lesson. First, on preparing the lesson plan, I will make sure that the lesson is
divided into small steps. Anywhere possible, I will bring realia and have group works
to make my students more motivated in learning English. Hopefully, by applying this
solution, the students can understand the lessons better, and remember more
vocabulary and the learning material. Therefore, their grades can be better than before
resulting in the increase of their motivation in learning English, and also their
enjoyment in every learning process.
As a result, the difficulty in handling unmotivated students in the 4th grade at
Paulus Elementary school who had low motivation in learning English has made me
understand about teaching techniques which can build students’ motivation. By
applying all the potential solutions, I expect that those who have the same problem as
mine can have references to increase students’ motivation.
