9 In the middle of learning the teacher

the names of the days from Monday to
Sunday
After that the teacher gives directions
PRINCIPLES
Language forms do not occur
themselves; the students are prepared
to understand and practice the
dialog.
Greeting the teacher showing a form
of appreciation and respect.
This is done so that the learning
process runs smoothly and there are
no obstacles.
This can check students attendance in
class.
It aims to test students whether the
student still remembers last week’s
material or not.
This is done because a few weeks ago
the learning process was carried out
online which made students forget the
material given.
So that students do not get bored
with the material discussed.
This is done so that students can
hone their memory about the material
that has just been presented.
So that students can learn to use new
vocabulary.
10 for students to go up one by one to
translate the sentences that the teacher
mentions

This is done by the teacher so that

11 students do not feel that they are
being bullied by the teacher.
When allowing students to go up to
translate the teacher does not force
students who do not want to come forward
12 So that students can practice their
thinking skills.

After that, the teacher gives

assignments to do
13 By giving students assignments,
teachers can see whether students
understand what is given or not.

After the students do the assignments

given the teacher checks the answers Because on Wednesday November 17 it
14 from the students coincides with the anniversary of
Gowa so students only study for one
hour.

The learning process is only done one

hour
15 This is a form of gratitude to Allah
who has provided smoothness in the
learning process and teachers who
have provided knowledge.

Before the lesson is finished students

pray first
By greeting the teacher as a closing
sign and thank you.

After praying the students greet the

teacher
Conclusion:
(What kind of teaching method that the teacher used based on your observation?)
 when entering the classroom the teacher greets students or greets students
this shows that the teacher directly approaches students. so the method used
by the teacher after being observed was the method of Community Language
Learning. where the teacher approaches and teaches something in a second
language or foreign language by using techniques or activities such as the
teacher asking last week's material that was taught in the online learning
process before permission to go to school like now is done by normal schools
 as usual, so students will give response to the teacher what has been learned.
The teacher will give little by little the last week's learning material so
that students can remember a little what the teacher has taught. then when the
teacher gives new material and the material follows what the teacher says,
this is done so that students don't get it wrong because many students know
how to write it but when students read it they even get it wrong.
(What are the strengths and weaknesses of that teaching method)
Excess
 The classroom situation is more lively because the students actively
think and convey their thoughts through answers to the teacher's
questions,
 Very positive to train BIPA students to dare to express their opinions
orally regularly,
 Raises differences of opinion among students and brings the class to an
interesting discussion situation, BIPA students who begin to pay
attention, are careful and really follow the lesson,
 And even though the lesson runs slowly, the teachers can control the
students' understanding and understanding of the problem at hand.

Weakness
 Students feel afraid, if the teacher is not able to encourage students
to be brave by creating an atmosphere that is not tense and intimate
 It is not easy to make questions that are appropriate to the level of
students' thinking and easy to understand by students,
 A lot of time is wasted, especially if students cannot answer questions
up to two or three people,
 Teachers still dominate the teaching and learning process,
 If the number of students is too many, it may not be enough time to
give questions to each student,
 The answer was dominated by a number of students who were mastered and
liked to talk, while many other students did not think about the
answer.

Suggestion:
(What do you suggest for the improvement of the teaching and learning activities,
especially the teaching method?)
 My suggestion is for teachers to see what makes students comfortable in
learning. so that in starting the learning process students do not feel afraid
of the teacher or the material that will be brought because students will feel
uncomfortable if the teacher shows an attitude that makes students afraid of
the presence of the teacher in the class, it is better if the teacher can get
closer to the students well so that students feel comfortable in learning so
 there is no fear and laziness if these subjects will enter the student class
later.
