Assignment 2
Read the following case of the teaching and learning process carefully, then answer the questions.
Case
Mr. Arifin is an English teacher at the Senior High School. One day he taught at the first grade. He started to teach by asking the
students some questions concerning activities that the students wanted to be in the future. He asked one student to answer, then he turned to
the other students who may have different answers. After five to seven students answered the teachers questions, he continued his teaching
and wrote a question on the board. The question was: Mention at least one activity that you would do if you were 1) a librarian, 2) a nurse, 3)
a pilot.
After checking the students answers, then Mr. Arifin made the students work in pair, gave a copy of a list of activities, asked each
pair to guess the peoples job. He went around the class in pair work, checking the learners speaking. He, then, discussed the answer and
compared each group with the same list of activities.
To make the students increase their reading comprehension, Mr. Arifin give question
1.Find the words in the text about words of activities
2.Decide what is the best heading for it
3.Find the time when Annie leaf for work, what is Annies job?
4.Find out how Annie does her job?
When the students had finished answering the reading questions, Mr. Arifin invited the students to discuss the answers. Well, now let we
discuss the answers Since it was individual work, he asked the answer to one student and confirmed the students answer with another
student. This activity is done for answering the four reading questions. Before Mr. Arifin continued to the next activity he concluded the correct
answer for each reading question.
To continue his lesson, Mr. Arifin made the class into groups consisting of four students. He gave each group copies of activity list of a certain
job that the students have to do. Each group had a different activity list of job and they had to keep secret from the other group. He asked each
group to add at least one activity in their list. Before the group did this activity, Mr. Arifin asked the students to be well disciplined, and they
had to take part in this activity.
After ten minutes, Mr. Arifin told each group to redraft and expand the activities into a paragraph about job description. Mr Arifin
told the students that they had to put priority or the responsibilities, and use specific verbs related with the job. They did not need to write the
title of the paragraph with the name of the job.
Fifteen minutes after he asked each group to exchange their job description with another group. Then each group should guess the
name of the job and wrote it as the title of the paragraph they had just read. Then he asked each group to give feedback to the other groups
work whether they agreed or disagreed, and of the choice of verbs. The teachers role was as a mediator between the groups and gave some
suggestions for improvement.
Finally Mr. Arifin asked the students to interview other friends about their father or mothers job, then they had to write the job
description based on the interview.

2.a.a. Identify at least two weaknesses found in Mr. Arifins lesson, and support your answer

by citing the situation from the case.

Answer :

The weaknesses of Mr. Arifins Lesson :

1. He did not pre-teach some of kinds of job that may be difficult for the students to know
the meanings. For example : Librarian, Carpenter, etc. (Mention at least one activity
that you would do if you were 1) a librarian, 2) a nurse, 3) a pilot.)

2. He did not explain about the job quite well.( He started to teach by asking the students
some questions concerning activities that the students wanted to be in the future. He
asked one student to answer, then he turned to the other students who may have
different answers )

b. Give any suggestion to overcome the two weaknesses you have identified. Support your

suggestion with logical reasoning

My suggestion :

1. It may be easier for him to provide some pictures for the students to pre-teach some
kinds of job.
2. . I think before giving the students questions or task, we must make sure to explain well
about the lesson that we are going to give. He is supposed to explain about the job first.
Then, making examples of the good sentence then drill the students about it. Finally, we
can ask the questions for the students and give them task about it
