There are two schools which welcome this program. The first school is SMPN Jakarta and the second one is SMP Labschool Kebayoran. In this occation I’d like to write about the former school.

Labschool consists of play group, kindergarten, Junior High School, and Senior High School. There are two Labschool schools in Rawamangun and there are also two Labschool schools in Kebayoran Baru. The Labschool Junior High address is at Jl. KH. Ahmad Dahlan 14 Kebayoran Baru , Jakarta.

Labschool has a motto to establish the school culture to shape the students having spiritual, cultural, scientific and social strength. That is why at the entrance of Labschool we haave the words “ Iman, Ilmu and Amal”, meanining strong conviction to God, high educational knowledge and enthusistic spirit to become worthy world citizen.

Labschool strongly believes in the balance of process and product of educational pursue and on the strength of intellectual, spiritual, social and emotional intelligence, so that all the members of Labschool ( students, teachers, PTA, including staffs) will be beneficial for the future of Indonesia.

BEFORE TEACHING

 

After listening a welcome song , Mr. Romlan Syukur told the students that all the teachers are his friends , they are all post graduate students of UHAMKA. Then Mr. Romlan asked Mr. Alaidin to introduced himself and the others. After intruduction session , Mr. Alaidin gave a short speech about the main purpose of his teaching that day. He said that the students would learn about Writing describtion.

 

WHILE TEACHING

 

Mr. Alaidin started the lesson by asking questions to the students. He asked them about their holiday. He asked directley to some students who seated in front row. Some students answered just staying at home, some other going overseas . After that, Mr. Alaidin lead the students by telling that when we plan to go picnic or holiday we have to prepare many things that we want to bring , as usual we put all the things in out bagpack.

 

After that the teacher ( Mr. Alaidin) took some thing from the teacher table, it was an English hand book . The title is Snapshot. He showed the book to the students. He told them that they were going to read a dialogue on unite 11. Then the students took their English book from their own bags. When the students had prepared all the books, the teacher checked once again, whether theye were ready or not with their handbook. Everything was Ok, the teacher asked the students to look at the picture on unit 11. and invited some students to read the conversation. While some students were reading the conversation, the rest of them were listening. After reading the text, the teacher asked the students again whether they understood the text or not. Most of them they knew it. Next, he asked the students to look at the picture again because he wanted to ask some questions about it. The first question What ‘s color of the bag? Who lost the bag? Where he lost the bag?

 

All the students could answer the questions, then the teacher told the students again that after discussion about the conversation they were planed to write a description about the picture. The instruction was “ What is your opinion about the picture?”

 

At the begining the students seemed still confused with the instruction, then the teacher repeat once again that they just wrote about their own opinion about the picture. The activities spent 15 minutes. While the students were writing the teacher moving around to check his students’ work.

 

The teaching-learning process run smoothly all the students did their work well.

They wrote their opinion in a piece of paper, if they finished they had to submit it to the teacher, then he asked to write it on the whiteboard. There were two students be voluteers to write down their opinion. Next , the teachers asked the students to read silently the text after that he tried to read louldy to the rest of the class and checked the grammar together.

 

CLOSING THE LESSON

 

To close the lesson the teacher asked the students to collect their composition.

Then Mr. Romlan asked Mr. Desmal to conclude the practical teaching by giving some advice to the students How important of mastering English. He also asked the students why did we have to learn English. Some of the students answers because English is an International language, English is also used in HiTech era. The symbols in the compures are also use English.

Mr. Desmal also told about his experiences when he was the first time learning English, in his time student learnt English at secondary level ( SMP), at that time he read a newspaper it was about Londan, in his mind he wanted to go there, then he learnt hard especially English . When he grown up he become a n English teacher, then he got a scholarship to study in Britain ( his dream come true). Once again strong motivation to achive something will make it true in the future. Therefore, Today if your English is poor your future is not happy, if your English is good enough you will get a better future, English plus Computer. Keep on studying, practice youe English in and out side the class room.

 

Then the bell rang, mr. Romlan asked the students to sing “ Thank you song”

After that the students left the classroom by shaking hands with the teacher.

ANALYSIS

 

1. Teaching is an interesting job but if the teacher is lack of motivation to improve him/ her self ,the students will get nothing , the class will be boring and the students will get bored, therefore teacher needs more practice to improve themselves.

 

2. Lesson study is an alternative way to improve the quality of teaching for the teachers

 

3. Teaching is hard job too, it needs a lot of equipments or tools. The main tools are good books.

 

4. To help the teachers , another alternative way is using computer assisted learning language ( CALL)
