DAY :1 OBSERVING ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSROOM

For the first day during School Based Experience program, I ask for Madam Chai asking for her permission to observe her teaching. At 11 oclock Im with her entered the classroom which is the last classroom for year 3 that is 3 Cerdas. I find out that madam Chai used instructional language for establish her purposes before beginning the lesson. She told the student that today we want to discuss the previous examination paper in order to give student to prepare their mind and previous knowledge for what they had learned before. Firstly, she had divided the students into a few groups. Then each student will be given one set of examination question paper. She had done this in order to let the students discussing among each other. The relationship between the teacher and students are quite good. The students respect her as the teacher. All of her instructions were obeyed by the students. I can feel that Madam Chai is a kind and responsibility teacher as I can see that the students like her. Today, I had learned that in order to achieve effective learning we must to rebuilds a good relationship with students.

DAY 2: OBSERVING TEACHER AND LEARNER ROLES

The second day, I meet Puan Suyati to observe her teaching in the classroom. She told me that she have an important things to do for this day that she do not had deliver the lesson but she will call me if she had the time to teach. Luckily I got a call from her at last period of time which is at 12.30 am. When I arrived at the class, she already there. This is year 2 class which is the first class that is 2 Arif. In the class I sit at the back of the class and observing her. I realized that Puan Suyati had played many roles while teaching in the class. For example, she had act as a facilitator. She give a worksheet to each student in the class. While the student answering the question, she move around the class and she give guidance to every students. That give me a lesson we as a teacher have to give guidance to every students and every time not certain time only. I realize that, most of the student in the class are very active that they always ask Puan Suyati about the question in the worksheet and they look very happy when talking to Puan Suyati. They are only 2 female student that I find that are very quiet that they do not participated in the discussion. They do not give response when the teacher ask and talk to them that show them as the passive students in that class. But, when I ask Puan Suyati regarding those 2 students, she told me they are the top ten of the student in the class although they are passive.

DAY 3: OBSERVING CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

For the third day of the SBE program, I choose Madam Chai again to observe her teaching and skill to manage a classroom. The reason why I choose her because she teach year 3 Arif, which is the last class for year 3. So I want to look how she manages the last classroom. When I entered the class with her, the students in the class are very noisy and they all were playing some kind of games because they are no teacher in the class before. They were very noisy but when they saw Madam Chai, all of them are running back to their own sit and stand up to greet her. I think that they have known Madam Chai well and they respect her as their classroom teacher. For today, Madam Chai give them a worksheet regarding grammar and I realized that she love to give them handout about the previous lesson because most of the students answered wrongly about grammar in the previous examination. She loves to move around the class and go from one student to another student in order to give attention to each individual. She gives 100% attention to the students, thats why I saw the students fear to make noise when in she in the classroom. However, she love to make jokes to attract the students to the lesson which make me think that is the reason why the students like her although she is very strict. At the end, of the lesson she gave the students homework and she told the students to finish it and answered correctly because she will give a punishment for whom who do not finish it.

DAY 4: TECHNIQUES IN TEACHING LANGUAGE SKILLS

ON the 4th day, I ask for Puan Suyati to observe her teaching again. Before that, she asks me to help her to bring the teaching materials to the class. Then, I entered class 4 Arif for the first time with Puan Suyati. I sit at the back of the class quietly in order to prevent for me to disturbed students attention. First of all, she divides the student in 2 groups and she gave each team a bundle of word. After she give explanation about the games that she makes. She asks the students to get ready when she spoke a word. When she yelled delicious, I saw one of the students from each group run to the front with the set of word and write a sentence from the delicious word on the blackboard that she yelled before. I guess that this was some kind of vocabulary games. She uses activity to teach the students about vocabulary. These were very effective as the four language skill been applied to her teaching. She integrates listening skill to student when she yelled a word and the students have to write, read and speak the sentences that they have written at the blackboard. Puan Suyati will correct them if they make a wrong sentence which means that she integrated grammar and vocabulary during her lesson.

DAY 5: TYPES OF REMEDIALS AND ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
