There were main activities that I did during the class observation:

2. The kinds of reading activities for grade five students at SD N Sriwedari 197

Surakarta

There are four types of reading activities:

a. Reading, translating text and answering the questions

b. Writing and reading a short paragraph about daily activities

c. Looking the pictures then reading the sentences

d. Completing and practicing dialogue

3. The problems faced when handling reading activities in the class are as

follows:

a. Pronunciation The students pronounced words incorrectly

b. Vocabulary The students still had limited vocabulary

c. Understanding the text The students were lazy to open their dictionary and

to translate the text

d. Students paying no attention The students felt bored and not interested in

following the class

27

4. The solutions for the problem

a. Pronunciation

Giving example about the correct pronunciation

Repeating until their pronunciation was right

b. Vocabulary

Giving clues

Giving notes

Looking up the dictionary

c. Understanding the text

I giving solutions for the students that if they not know the meanings of

the words, they could ask their friends or me. I also wrote the meanings of

the words on the whiteboard.

d. Student paying no attention

Giving other variations of teaching techniques

B. Suggestions

The following are some suggestions that I can give to:

1. English Teacher at SD N Sriwedari 197 Surakarta

English teacher must make English lesson more interesting and fun by giving

a gift. In addition, English teacher can use some aids such as a tape recorder. The

teacher can play song or native speaker of English voice by using the tape

recorder so that the English lesson is more enjoyable.

28

2. SD N Sriwedari 197 Surakarta

SD N Sriwedari 197 Surakarta should improve the facilities in English lesson

such as providing visual aids that can help the students catch the materials easily.

It will be better if the school provides English laboratory, so the students know

English well by listening to recordings or watching videos of native speakers of

English.

3. Students of English Diploma Program

The students of English Diploma Program should have a good preparation

before they do the job training. It is important for them because a good

preparation determines the success of the job training. They also have to practice

more in delivering the materials.

4. English Diploma Program

English diploma program should prepare the students experience well before

they do the job training. English diploma program should also give more guidance

to the students in doing the job training. For example: they should give more time

in explaining the materials, so the students will be ready to face their problems

during the job training.

English diploma program can also recommend the institutions where the

students can do the internship. Besides, the English Diploma Program can also

provide information about job vacancy so that the fresh graduates can directly get

the job.
