with the teacher. This was the important of student talk initiation, the teacher were able to know what student need and how to give them solution. As the result, the
teaching learning process was going smooth and well managed. Since, the students were also active in expressing their problems when they complete the task. According
to Walsh 2001 the IRF sequences in teacher-student interaction have power in the language socialization in classroom interaction. Similarly, in Ananda Mentari context
the interaction in form of initiation talk from a student. It give comprehension chance for the teacher to give them the respond and feedback. As the result, ongoing
interaction can be achieved the goal of communication. The school principal stated her expectation toward students the way they
contribute during the interaction. She said: Interview transcription 4.26
“I don’t know the expectation. The think that I know is they come to school every day and I want to see them happy. I want to see them learn every single day
” There is no certain expectation about student’s contribution during the
interaction. The important thing is the student enjoy the class and they learn something new during school time. The school are not allowed to force them to
master certain skill. Since, the goal is the students are able to produce English without any afraid of making mistakes.

a whole class discussion. A simple indicator of this is the proportion of the class discussion dedicated to students talking. The interaction was started by the student
and addressed to other students. Extract 4.24
S:”Fian’s space shuttle is like people, it is tall” S:”Ha ha maybe because it has long hair too”4055
The students interacted with their friend too; even the proportion was not significant enough. In the conversation 1.22 students initiate her opinion toward
fia n’s space shuttle. They talked in English about something they have already done
or learn in class. Extract 4.25
S: “You picked the wrong map. We can’t find the treasure” S: “But we picked the yellow map together”
The interaction among the students was found when the student complained about the map. The situation happened when group could not find the treasure box
because they picked the wrong map. In this case, a group member criticized about the leader’s decisions. Topic the interaction was also important aspect handling the
students’ conversations in purposefully and meaningfully. It can be seen, students were mostly communicate each other about things related to the topic. In other words,
they were able to keep focusing on the lesson instead of talking about other topic which was not related to the lesson. For example, the interaction was well developed
since the student used English even in the case they talked about behavior which during completing the activity.
One group failed to finish the task, groups’ member express her unpleased to the group leader by “You should pick the right map not the
wrong map”. The leader was feeling guilty since he was silent, as soon teacher encouraged him by asking them to repeat the activity on the next meeting. It can be
concluded that interaction between student-student happened naturally but in this case teacher controlled the whole interaction in classroom. The researcher found that the
student’s behavior were good. The school principle has an explanation about those condition. She said:
Interview transcription 4.27 “Once more, our philosophy we are not teacher but we are the parent. We
don’t force the children to know about everything. We provide them a lot opportunities to explore their own idea. That is why in discussion time is
always lively” The student-
student interaction is going well since the student’s behavior is well-mannered. According to the school principle teacher leads and educates them as
a mother not as teacher. In this case, the students are easy to control because they feel that the teacher cares and loves them. As a mother teacher does not have such
requirement like a teacher. Furthermore, according to school principle the interactions are going well since all those activities is based on the mother and childrem
philosophy.
