B. Discussion

Online English teaching and learning at SMP 4 Ampek Nagari, the teacher

should the preparation of teaching and learning English during pandemic COVID-

19, Teaching and learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic changed

radically, The teachers revealed that learning tools such as the syllabus and lesson

plans were adjusted to what had been suggested by the government, the ministry

of education and culture, the teacher delivered learning materials according to the

timeframe or at the time of covid-19. According to Brown (2015), explains the

syllabus as a study used in implementing certain language programs.

Characteristics in the curriculum include subject matter, language goals,

sequencing and materials to meet the needs of certain students in certain contexts.

Teachers teach English material during covid-19 not all material is taught in full

because learning is currently online.

Teaching activity online English learning at SMPN 4 Ampek Nagari, online

teaching and learning activities the teacher provides learning materials through
whatsapp groups and learning activities begin with an introduction, core activity

and closing. The teachers use method lecture of online English teaching and

learning.

Teachers use different learning methods from face-to-face learning, online

teachers use the whatsapp application for the teaching and learning process,

online learning students and teachers must have an internet network. The

communication between students and teachers was very student because learning

that was not face-to-face became an obstacle for teachers in teaching, using the

whatsapp application sometimes there were students who were not included in the

group to follow the learning.

In addition, teachers also use task-based learning methods. Giving

assignments to students is the main focus of learning that the teacher will use as

proof of attendance and assessment. According to Harmer (2002), that task-based

learning is a language learning method that uses tasks as the main focus of

learning. In this learning, students are asked to do assignments, and the teacher

discusses, corrects, and assesses the assignment.

The response of students in the online learning process of English at SMP 4

Ampek Nagari is very low or the effectiveness of online learning is very low, so

the teacher must give encouragement and motivation to students so that during the

learning and teaching process students do not feel bored in the WhatsApp group.

and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers used application

WhatsApp to teaching and learning online. According to Michael (2013), that
