3.2. Teaching Analysis
In this part the teacher must analyze about Teaching English question tags English question tags using games. When the teacher
taught the question tags using games, the students more interested to
learn question tags because they can look the true pattern and the
students more excited to answer question tags.
The first meeting the
teacher have to give greeting First for the children to make friendly
before starting the lesson. After that the teacher explains the lesson
clearly so the student can be more interesting and understanding about
the lesson. Also the teacher practiced with
the games because it can made the students easier to answer some of the
questions from the teacher. Not only the teacher who practiced it but
also the teacher asked the students to come forward and the teacher
asked the students to practice about question tags to
their friend, and the other students answer the question. When the
students tried to practice in front of the class, they were very excited
and happy. It has improve the children because first they don’t
understand about the lesson but after the teacher explain they can
understand and they got nice score.
So the teacher thought many influences to the students if the teacher teaches question tags using games. The students do not bore
and the students always happy because the students can practice in
front of the class, and they feel proud because they can be the best.
And also the students can be more active if they can practice directly,
it can made the students more confident if they practice.
The
Problem in teaching the children at such a young age that they are not
behaviorally developed. The teacher found may be the first time some
children have a significant body of rules to follow. In fact, learning
how to follow rules and peacefully interact with peers are some of the
primary reasons children attend to study. The solution is before
deciding to teach question tags, determine if you have the ability to
not only to enforce behavioral rules but also to handle the stress and
disorder that accompanies students' behavioral problems.
The solution are the teacher should be give games in every meeting so that they were not boring and paid attention to the teacher.
Games will help the students for thinking that English is very fun and
they would like with English lesson, the teacher should arrange the seat
formation in semicircle in order to make easy with the students,
sometimes they always made some problems. The solutions mentioned above
probably not only help to handle the difficulties and problems that
influence teaching process in the classroom, but also they are expected
to minimize the problems. These solutions are useful for teachers to be
applied in the classroom when they face the problem in teaching and
learning process.
3.3. Teaching Evaluation
In teaching evaluation The teacher found The difficulties in teaching were on how the teacher
gave it slowly, using English some student could accept the lesson. The
conditions of the class were very quiet. The students did listen while
the teacher explained the lesson. They have many kinds of students
character in the classroom.
Some students were not afraid of the teacher, they sometimes did not pay attention. Some students pay attentions while the teacher
was explaining the lesson, they could understand fully. In this
situation, the students would be given a chance to ask but some body
still asked the teacher. The students who never gave attention, they
were confused. While the writer they
were cheating task their friends and the other students making noisy
with each other their friends though suddenly they were laughing
together.
1. Purpose and Problem and Solution
Based on the analysis, the teacher concludes teaching question tags using games can get many advantages, the students more active because the teacher
always asks the students to practice and the can not feel bored when
the students learn question tags. And also the students will more
interest because they can look the pattern of question tags, It can make
they excited to learn question tags. And also, the teacher thinks teaching question tags using games is very suitable to teach sixth grade because it can make the teacher easy to teach question tags and it can simpler to teach question tags.
The first advantage of applying some games in teaching learning process
was the students could be more interested in learning the material.
When the students were interested in learning the material, they would
give more attention to the lesson given. That condition gave a good
chance for both the teacher and the students. On the occasion the
teacher could deliver the material very well and the students could
understand what they had learned on that day.
The
second advantage of applying some games in teaching learning process
was the teacher didn’t need to explain too many materials. The teacher
just explained the materials needed by the students because they can
understand the material on that day by doing the
games. The games could give the students more change to understand the
material given because through playing they can learned something
without realized that.
The disadvantages:
The
first disadvantage of applying games in teaching learning process was
by attracting student’s interest to games, all of them were active and
made noisy. Sometimes they too much moved and spoke. That condition made
the teacher difficult to control them.
The
second advantage of applying some games in teaching learning process
was by doing games the teacher only had a little time to explain the
material and gave some sentences of question tags.
From all the explanation above, it shows that using
games to teach is good technique especially by applying the creative
activity one but there were also some disadvantages in using games in
teaching question tags to the young learners especially for the sixth
grade students in Butterfly English Course.
2. Problem and solution of Greeting
The
Problem in teaching the children at such a young age that they are not
behaviorally developed. The teacher found may be the first time some
children have a significant body of rules to follow. In fact, learning
how to follow rules and peacefully interact with peers are some of the
primary reasons children attend to study.
The
solution is before deciding to teach question tags, determine if you
have the ability to not only to enforce behavioral rules but also to
handle the stress and disorder that accompanies students' behavioral
problems.
3. Problem and solution of study stage and active stage
In teaching learning process, the teacher
found some problems. The first problem is on how to make the students
understand about the material. In this class, only 70 percent of
students could accept the lesson because the students are less attention
for their teacher. The students were very busy with their activities,
examples while the teacher was explaining the lesson. One of the students who did not give attention suddenly, the teacher could give question related the lesson. In delivering the lesson the teacher found some students who did not pay attention to the lesson.
Second
the teacher prepared the things of game such as card, ball, and
equipment of game. Before the teacher teach in the classroom, first the
teacher has to study how to play that game. The teacher has to choose
the suitable games to teach question tags. The students who never gave
attention, they were confused. While the writer they
were cheating task their friends and the other students making noisy
with each other their friends though suddenly they were laughing
together.
The students pay attentions while the teacher explained the lesson. But some of them did not still understand yet, the teacher would explain again slowly and explain one by one. Situation of the class can change at anytime depend on the teacher handle the students; the teacher
should be creative and flexible. Sometimes students can stop their
activities more doing exercises, while their friend feel fed up, they
were quite. These conditions only attended 15 minutes. Games would help
students to add their vocabulary and games should related with the material before. They were given exercises after explaining the material.
Then, the students started doing the exercises. They were doing diligently and quickly. They are very confused but they never give up to
try doing their exercises. However, they could study English and do the
exercises very quickly. It means that, the students were interested in
English and accepted the lesson better. The teacher used fifteen minutes for answering the questions. After that, the questions would be discussed together. Then the teacher
choose one the student for answer the question number one, the student
gave right answer, but the second student gave wrong answer and the
another student try to help their friend for answer of the question. It
means that they have felt to help other students then they have fully
spirit and never give up. These activities continued till all the
questions done answered.
When
the students finished their exercises, these exercises were corrected
together. All questions would be answered together or written on the white board. From these exercises the writer gave a score. This score showed the ability of the students that they could understand the material or whether they were interested in the English lesson or not. Then, after 30 minutes, the student collect the exercise and this is exercise.
From all the explanation above, it shows that using
games to teach is good technique especially by applying the creative
activity one but there were also some disadvantages in using games in
teaching question tags to the young learners especially for the sixth
grade students in Butterfly English Course. The solution are the teacher should be give games in every meeting so that they were not boring and paid attention to the teacher.
Games will help the students for thinking that English is very fun and
they would like with English lesson, the teacher should arrange the seat
formation in semicircle in order to make easy with the students,
sometimes they always made some problems. The solutions mentioned above
probably not only help to handle the difficulties and problems that
influence teaching process in the classroom, but also they are expected
to minimize the problems. These solutions are useful for teachers to be
applied in the classroom when they face the problem in teaching and
learning process.
