Discussion RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

B. Discussion

The implementations of English teaching learning activities influenced students’ perception on English teaching learning activities. Good teaching learning activities would lead students to have perceptions on the teaching learning activities. English teaching learning activities’ implementation which could not achieve students-teacher needs would lead students to have negative perceptions. The data analysis showed that the implementation of English teaching learning activities in this school was lack of variations. Moreover, it was seen that the English teacher found difficulties in managing the class. Teacher’s expectations to students’ awareness for being quiet and paying attention to class activities were responded negatively by the students. During English teaching learning activities, the English teacher always gave more attention to the boys. If the implementation of English teaching learning activities in this school was stated before, students’ perceptions on the English teaching learning activities should be negative. However, students’ perceptions were positive. This perception became a question considering the real situation. From the data gathered from the observations and interview, it was found that the students had positive perceptions on English teaching learning activities since they were allowed to be noisy during English teaching learning activities. Students’ behavior of being noisy could be considered as an unproductive behavior since their noise was not caused by their voices that were discussing English tasks, but chatting and being busy with themselves. This behavior might be a response to negative classroom environment, lack of peer support, or temporary crisis in child’s life the students were at puberty period. Some suggestions were needed in order to improve the quality of English teaching learning activities. The English teaching learning activities needed to be varied. Moreover, both the teacher and the students had to be consistent and responsible to the rules that they made and agreed. The English teacher had to be responsible to fulfill students’ needs. Furthermore, the English teacher needed to improve his classroom management skills. If these proposed suggestions were applied in English teaching learning activities in this school, it was expected that the English teaching learning activities’ quality could be increased. 72
