development”. It means that teachers of SBI should be able to speak English well. They also have to mastery some vocabularies or terminologies related to their
subjects. Therefore, in this final project, I try to observe some problems mathematics teachers faced in using mathematical terminologies. I chose
mathematics subject because it only has a little scientific terms. Consequently, mathematics teachers have to work hard to learn and memorize all the
terminologies deal with the subject.
1.2 Reason for Choosing the Topic
Based on the explanation above, it is clear that teachers and students in International Level School have to use English in teaching-learning process. In
learning English process, the teacher may find some problems. It is because they are mathematics teachers who do not have proper English ability. It is also
because mathematic is a kind of difficult subject and the mathematical terminology is quite difficult to be learned. Mathematic teachers have to work
hard to learn it. If they do not, they cannot give good explanation to their students. In other words, the students will not be clear understanding what is being taught
by them. Therefore, in this case, I would like to find out the mathematic teachers’
problems in understanding and using mathematical terminology because teachers are a vital part in the education of the students. It is important for teachers to give
a good and understandable explanation to their students.
1.3 Statements of the Problem
The problems of this study can be stated as follows: 1
How well do the mathematic teachers give explanation to their students using mathematical terminologies in teaching International Level School classes?
2 What are the mathematic teachers’ problems in using and learning
mathematical terminologies?
1.4 Objective of the Study
Based on the problems stated above, the objective of this study is: 1
To find out how well the mathematic teachers use mathematical terminologies in teaching at International Level School classes.
2 To find out the problems which the mathematic teachers as non-English
teachers met in using and learning mathematical terminologies.
1.5 Significance of the Study
After doing the research, the writer hopes that the result will give a contribution for non-English teachers especially mathematics teachers in teaching
International Level School classes. In other words, the writer hopes that the research can provide better solutions to solve the problems which the mathematic
teachers met in teaching International Level School classes so they can give good explanations to their students.
