OBSERVATION  REPORT

Institution name                 : UPS Tegal.

Teacher                             : Sanday Jamaludin, MPd

Subject                             : Speaking

Student                             : Semester V

1.      The result of the observation

a.      The background theories of the teaching and learning used

English becomes the most essential language in the world. Almost allthe

people  from  many  different  countries  around  the  world  use  it  to communicate.  It’s  because  of  the importance of English in any scope of our lives. Based on the reasons above, in recent years, English language teaching has focused  on  teach  the  English  language  rather  than  teach  about  the  English language.  The  emphasis  is  not  only  on  linguistic  competence  of  the  language learners but also on the development of their communicative ability. In order to develop  the  learners'  communicative  ability,  the  teacher  needs  to  create  a scenario to teach the target language in a vibrant, active and interesting manner.  In  learning  speaking  skill.

The  students  often  find  some  problems.  The problem  frequently  found  is  that  their  native  language  causes  them  difficult  to use the foreign language. Other reason is because of motivation lack to practice the  second  language  in  daily  conversation.  They  are  also  too  shy  and  afraid  to take  part  in  the  conversation.  Many  factors  can  cause  the  problem  of  the students. speaking  skills  namely  the  students interest,  the  material,  and  the media   among   others   including   the   technique   in   teaching   English.  

Many techniques can be applied  because many research findings say that this technique is effective to use in teaching speaking.

In this observation I assume that the lecturer use  multi-methods

( cooperative learning , communicative approach, and integrated learning) in teaching learning process because in  teaching class  activity the lecturer use more than one techniques in teaching .  Stephen  D. Hattings  said that based on his observation in the conversation class, the role play would seem to be the ideal activity in which students could use their English creatively and  it  aims  to  stimulate  a  conversation  situation  in  which  students  might  find  

1

themselves   and   give   them   an   opportunity   to   practice   and   develop   their communication skill.

I  observe  that  in  teaching speaking the student look relax and enjoying practice speaking , using role play  seem the student   become  active for expressing their speaking and stimulate a conversation situation. In the same time  show cooperative teaching  and communicative approach  to  give   them   an   opportunity   to   practice   and   develop   their communication skill.

2.      The reason  he used this theory

The reason  lecturer use multi-approach  are :

a.       That  communicative approach is based on the idea that learning

language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. When learners are involved in real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to learn to use the language.

I observed  In the classroom, Classroom activities guided by the communicative approach were characterized  by trying to produce meaningful and real communication, at all levels. As a resulted there

might be more emphasis on skills than systems, lessons were more learner-centred, and there might be used of authentic materials.

           

b.      That cooperatives  learning  (CL) is defined as an approach which

Encourages and promotes the maximum use of cooperative activities based on pair work and group work of learners in the classroom. (Fathman  and  Kessler  1993;  Richards  and  Rodgers 2001) claim that CL is group work structured in such a way as to enable student interac-tion,  the  exchange  of  information,  as  well  as  cooperation  rather  than  competition  in learning.

My observation show that the lecturer looked friendly. if some students was really confused and didn’t understand the learning material,l, nevertheless, hesitated to raise their hands and asked for further clarification and explanation, as they were in habited by the fear. On the other hand, CL classrooms created a positive setting in which feedback and correction  represented  part  of  the  process  of  communication,  which  lead  to  an  easy  acquisition/learning of vocabulary and grammatical forms.

2

c.       That integrated strategy based on the premise that learning is a series of

connections. This approach allows students to learn in a way that is most natural to them. Teachers can create interesting  material in teaching and  made up of themes of interest to the student, use of natural learning, and building on student’s interests, teaching skills in meaningful contexts, more flexibility .All material must be integrated with curriculum

            I observe that the lecturer used  teaching learning  a holistic way and reflected the real world,  Thus the topics could  be presented in a more meaningful way

3.      The success achievement  both a and b            in the process of learning and the goal

By using multi-approaches in teaching speaking , The teaching will  be  more

 succeed because:

1.      Multi-methods in teaching speaking provide many techniques in teaching and learning process. We know that the student have difference  characters in learning process. Some of them  study through audio or visual, another student   learn by motorist and the rest learn combination  from audio-visual and motorist.

2.      Multi-methods help the teacher to reach the goal of speaking that student  have speaking skills after following speaking teaching.

4.      Give comment and Suggestion 

a.      Comment

Base on my observation. The process teaching and learning  is “ Good “

b.      Suggestion ( use  another theory if possible)

1.      Teaching will be better if the lecturer come on time

2.      Discipline attendant have to hold because it is very important for teaching and learning process in progress

3.      Provide maximum opportunity to students to speak as the target language by providing a rich environment that contains collaborative work, authentic materials and tasks, and shared knowledge.

4.      Involve speaking activities not only in class but also out of class or other people who can help.

5.      Do not correct students' pronunciation mistakes very often while they are speaking. Correction should not distract student from his or her speech.

6.      Add another theories language learning if possible.
