AA29: “Because I can build up my knowledge about what we describe. So I can enhance new vocabularies.”

the teacher’s technique, and the atmosphere of the classroom. QA03: “Do you like English, Angel?”

friends also feel that, if the situation of teaching and learning process is unpleasant, and the material is also boring and difficult, and there is no
support from the teacher, the students are usually unfocused. We used to talking to our friends and texting, playing our gadgets.”
QA05: “I see. What is the material that difficult for you?” AA05: “The difficult one is the material which has its pattern. When I
face the exam which contain of materials which use logic, I still can do it. But when I find it with pattern, for instance, English which use 1

Angel clearly described her pleasant and unpleasant feeling when learning English. Those feeling were occasionally based on the situation of the day. The
material discussed and the way teacher delivered it became important aspects for her. Pleasant was when she could understand the material, so that she could follow it well,
also supported by the compassionate teacher. In the other hand, when she found the tough material, the demanding teacher, and there was no satisfying result, then she
would feel unpleasant. This memorable moment might be experienced by some students. Similar to
Egi and Laura, this feeling became their notable events. The next talk was about Angel’s feeling to the teacher and things related to the way she delivered the
materials. QA23: “Alright. What about Ms. Yashinta? Did she do the same thing?”
AA23: “She is kind and friendly. She teaches the students in a good order. She can make the students understand. But, since she has position
in this school as the leader of curriculum if I’m not mistaken, so she’s quite busy. So we have to suit with her schedule. Sometimes, we did the
replacement English class. Nevertheless, fortunately, she really appreciates us.”

English by Ms. Yashinta. QA34: “Have you been satisfied on your English result?”
AA34: “Not yet, miss. It is still so far.” QA35: “What is the reason?”
AA35: “Because I still get standard score in English. To communicate and speak well in English are also not really good, because I rarely
practice it.”
QA36: “Why do you say so? Is it because the less diligence? Or the demand of the school?”
AA336: “I am less diligent miss. And maybe it is because I have to do the assignments subjects related to my major.”
QA37: “So actually you like English, right?” AA37: “Yes, miss”
QA34-AA37FS. Angel said that she was still unsatisfied with her result in English. She
mentioned that she frequently got standard score, and was not really good at communicating in English. She felt she was less diligent to do assignments. That was
