Focus of the observation

Before observation, we know about the teaching method of the teacher in the classroom. We want to know about teaching method of the teacher and technique of motivating student in the classroom. Controlling student in the class. We have learnt about the step of teaching in the classroom, using the voice in the classroom, the controlling students in the class.

I have learn in the classroom, there are 10 students in the classroom. In the class have a good environment. There are many information to learn in the class. For example the map, ASEAN greeting, florae science and etc. For the observation, we have learnt about presentation of the teacher in the classroom. Teacher used the loudly sound. Teacher and students have a rapport in the classroom. They sing a song together for the warm up and start the new lesson in the classroom. Teacher teach student about “In my classroom topic”. Teacher teach about vocabulary in the classroom for example, window, table, pen, ruler etc. Student and teacher read the vocabulary together. Teacher teach the  structure by using Wh- word and answer. Teacher asked student and play activity together.

In the class have lesson structure there are the way the lesson opens, develop, and closes are the first, teacher open the lesson by using the question. Second, teacher develop the lesson by using the activities. The last, teacher closes the lesson by using the activities. There are 2 activities for this lesson. Teacher teach student to the lesson and the activities with lesson and give student to do exercise. Classroom management strategies, teacher teach student full time. For this lesson didn’t setting group. Sometime teacher give the maintaining order and students sit in the row for three. In the class have individual activities. Teaching strategies are presenting tasks and teaching technique. Teacher’s use of materials are Use of the textbooks and word card.   Teacher’s use of language are use of instructional language,  use of questions and  explanations of vocabulary and grammar. Student use of the mother tongue during class. Student problems with grammar and problems with pronunciation. Student interaction, appropriate time on task and student- to- student talk.

When teacher come to classroom the first thing is warm up like CLT. Then, teacher asked about vocabulary in classroom. Next, teacher present about the lesson. When teacher finish to teach, teacher give to students to do the exercises. After that, teacher ask student about the lesson again and the last is wrap up. When teacher teach the sound is very good. She can motivate students to interest the lesson. When she teach or give students to do exercises she have to walk around for observe the work of students.

Suggestions for teacher, teacher should be practice about vocabulary in that lesson before teach. When students can’t answer the questions, teacher should be tried to practice students to understanding before start to next topics. Suggestions for oneself, In teaching students to slowly because they have different abilities. We must to teach students to understanding the content correctly. Practice students to answer the questions for help they to think about that lesson. Suggestions for classroom action research, in classroom teacher should be use body language in teaching because students can understanding about contents more than this. Moreover, students are interest and try to learn more.

Summaries :
          Teaching English grammar can be hard going - for the teacher and the students. You can teach English grammar using fun learning  games and before you know it your students will be more than willing.
          Four sound reasons to teach grammar with games. There are

1. Arif Saricoban and Esen Metin say grammar games help children not only gain knowledge but be able to apply and use that learning.

2. Additionally, game have the advantage of allowing the students to " practice and internalise vocabulary, grammar and structures extensively" 3. One can use games to add excitement through competition or games which create bonding among students and teacher. 4. Ersoz says games can counter this as because :

Games that are amusing and challenging are highly motivating.
Games allow meaningful use of the language in context.
          Children are more motivated to learn grammar with games.

Students can relax when they learn grammar with funny games because can movement they can stand up, sit down, move various body part and pass.

          What kind of games work best ? the best games are listening, speaking, reading and writing games.Because that games can be practice 4 skills and students can create more new sentence by learn grammar with funny games.
          In my opinion, teacher can apply the teaching grammar with games because every students love to play games.
