3.3. Teaching Evaluation

In teaching evaluation, the writer explains about the problems that arise in

the process of teaching speaking skill using role play method in SMPN 24

31

Tangerang and how to solve the problems. There are several problems that appear

during the teaching process. The writer will explain with mention the solution.

The first problem is, the students feel shy and do not have confident to

speak English in front of the class. In that case, the teacher must build an

enjoyable atmosphere in the classroom, so that the students feel more relaxed.

Second problem is, the students had difficult about pronunciations, intonation,

fluent. The writer mentions the vocabulary and the students follow it together. It

helps the students to make good pronunciations.

Using role play method in the class is very time consuming. The teacher’s

must manage the time carefully in the lesson plan and follow it. The students

sometimes makes noisy and chaos during the teaching process. If it happens, the

writer must create a new rule for the students who are noisy, for example; if there

are the students who are noisy will get a punishment. The punishment is the

students who are making noisy; he/she will write something in English.
