4. Possible solution to distractions by the students and their relationship with
their classmates
In statement 6, “My students are easily having chit-chat with their classmates when I am teaching English and it
influences their speaking skill” has relation with statement 10,” My students are easily distracted by others when I am teaching
English in the classroom and it influences their speaking English skill ”. The material
would not be delivered well and they could not focus on the instruction or what to do during classroom activity.
If that so, the possible solution is that when students were talking each other when the practice teacher was teaching, just stop and point them out. Asking them
about material discussed would make them confused because they did not focus on it. This way could be used in order to make them concentrate on the material. The
distraction was not only from inside the class but from outside class. Participant 1 said that one day when she was teaching speaking, suddenly a student from other
class came to borrow a book from her students. The learning activity stopped for a while, and then when she wanted to continue, the students and she forgot the last part
of material explained. Another distraction was that when the situation of the class is not conducive.
The possible solution for this problem is making rules before it happened. For example, one of the participants made rules for the student, if they kept busy with
their friends; they need to write down ten words in English which had been discussed PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
45 in the class. If they kept busy with their friends twice, then the “reward” will be
multiplied into 20 words and so on. Practice teachers should make sure that the students pay attention to their delivered material and also their comprehension related
to speaking skill. In statement 7,” There are some of my students who are not in a good
relationship with their classmates and it influences their speaking English skill” has
relation with statement 9,” My students are inhibited to speak iEnglish in the
classroom because they feel shy and it influences their speaking English skill. ” For
example, there were students were not confident to speak in English. It was because they did not have enough vocabulary, they were afraid to make mistakes and some of
them did not understand English at all. They felt shy because there was a time when they try to speak in English, they
friends made fun of them. Participant 3 said that there were two students who fought each other out because of mocking each other, they were angry and it affected the
situation of the classroom. They were not in a good mood so it influenced their willingness to learn and practice English speaking. It definitely affected his
motivation to learn English because they could not focus on the classroom activity. It did not only influence their speaking skill but also the scores.
In this case, the teacher can build a good relationship with the students as a friend. Participant 5 said th
at she called the troublemaker students to teachers’ room and tried to ask them what their concerns were. She also told the students that they
could study together with her when there was break time of before English course PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
