The teacher give the review about material that they have been discussed last week and also try to test the student with some questions. The questions are : “Do you remember about the material that we discussed last week ?” , “Can you please explain me about the material ?” after that, the teacher try to give an introduction about the new material. The material is about greeting card. Examples: congratulations, birthday card, etc.

3. Material “Greeting Card”

In this section, teacher explain about greeting card. First, teacher give an example about greeting card. Second, teacher read the example about greeting card and followed by students. Then, teacher give a test to students. The teachers ask students to memorieze greeting card and ask the students randomly.

Each groups have 2 members. Second, teacher explain to students about what students going to do. Then, the students discuss about the material with their groups member. After that, they have to collect it to the teacher and present their discussion in front of class. But, because they do not have enough time, so they have to present it next week.

Actually, what the teacher do is good. We can see it from the way of her teaching. But, nobody is perfect. The teacher still have some mistakes while teaching in class. For example : too much read a book, too serious, etc. It affects to students. Students feel sleepy and do not enjoy the learning process.

Games method

b.      Learning activity steps

1.    Greeting

The teacher say good afternoon to students and ask about students’ condition. It is like : “hallo students, how are you ?”

2.    Warming up

The teacher give the review about material that they have been discussed last week and also try to test the student with some questions.

3.    Material

·         Play a game

The teacher can make a game that related to the material. For example : The teacher play the drama about someone is birthday. To play this game, teacher have to choose one student to be a birthday girl/boy. Then, his friends have to make a birthday card and give it to him or the students can read the birthday card in front of class. The teachers just ask for a volenteer or choose the students randomly.

·         Tell about jokes or the teacher’ experience

As we know that if the teacher just focus on material, the students will get bored. To solve this problem, the teacher can give a joke or tell the students about her funny experience. The teacher can lie about the experience. For example: she can tell the students that she ever get a greeting card from someone’ special. Then explain about how she get the birthday card, who gives her, and how does it feel, etc. By doing this, the teacher can improve the learning process and the atmosphere in the class will be fun.

4.    Closing

Teacher can end the class by giving a task to students.

  D.    Conclusion and Suggestion

The teacher use PBJL when teaching the students, the steps are greeting, warming up, material and closing. But our group try to make the situation in the class not bored with play a game or tell about jokes or the teacher experience. We think both methode are good because when the students play a game they feel happy and interest to the material.
