Learning awareness Classroom Practice

activating the students. As for Inu with his fun style says that opportunity and feedback are two inseparable things in involving students actively. Students are the learning centre so widening more opportunities to practice as the learning emphasis followed by giving feedback is best implemented to involve students actively. Whereas for Anggi, group work and random call roll are the two best techniques. In group work, she mixes heterogeneously fast learners and struggling learners so there will be a taking and giving process and transferring of knowledge and motivation. As we know, fast learners tend to be active. By group work, it is expected the struggle learners will be active as well. The random call roll is chosen as it is considered as a fair technique. It looks forcing but good technique. The three beliefs are correlated each other. It is stated by Richards and Renandya 2002 that students may not get involved since they feel anxious. The solution is giving as large opportunity as possible for students to take part in learning activity. Group work reveals to be a strategy to open more opportunities in which the passive students can decrease their anxiety in the group which is smaller than classical context.

4.4.4 Learning awareness

To develop successful learners, students are required to have awareness about the need of learning. Depdiknas 2006 states that English learning is intended to develop awareness about the nature and significance of English to improve global competition power. In relation to this issue, the interview data reveal that all informants use a technique that is telling information to deve lop students‟ awareness. Lilin in her teaching practices develops students‟ awareness about the significance of learning process by sharing a figure‟s experience which can master English well and use English for her his career successfully. I like telling about my friend’s experience who works in a non-governmental organization and then meet foreigners. I tell them that English is useful.... Lilin, A72. From Inu‟s statement it seems that he has the same perspective with Lilin. He develops awareness by telling something but he tells a story containing awareness and also motivation of learning process instead of a figure‟s experience. … I tell them, but actually tell them to direct their motivation to develop their awareness…. Inu, A53. Likewise, Anggi develops awareness by describing the philosophy related to the learning material as the opening and then coming into the learning materials. I imitate Mr. Bismoko‟s technique. In teaching, he always uses a philosophy first and then direct it into the materials …. Anggi, A112. From the previous description, it can be summed up that teachers‟ beliefs about how they develop learning awareness are basically by giving oral suggestions. Lilin believes it can run successfully by telling a true story about the significance of the learning process. She expects the students will be more aware by giving a conditional situation when English becomes the only media to communicate. Inu correlates awareness and value. Value in his point of view can be taught by discussing the content of moral value in a story. Anggi sees awareness is derived from knowing the essence or core or nature and the advantage. Having strong awareness may contribute better understanding toward the learning materials.
