Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate teacher procedures when using the CLT technique in teaching speaking, as well as to understand students' answers and opinions about the use of CLT methods in the classroom. As a research design, the author employs interviews and field notes. The authors analyze instructors' and students' learning activities regarding speaking in the classroom using CLT utilizing interviews and field notes. The benefits of employing CLT include that teachers conduct question-and-answer sessions with students, and the frequency with which students respond to learning activities such as answering questions is increasing. As a result, one of the challenges of Communicative Language Teaching is that students continue to feel anxious and nervous if they make mistakes during the learning process. Based on the results of the study, students indicated that CLT aided them in the process of learning to speak English. This can drive students to learn since they believe that using CLT is more interactive. For students to use these strategies, teachers' roles are critical. Students find it easier to follow the learning process and gain knowledge about the role of language in learning. It is proposed that students apply the strategy in the learning process when learning speaking skills.

Abstract

Textbooks play a critical part in the teaching and learning processes. They are generally used as the basic foundations of courses in classrooms by both teachers and students. Textbooks may not be able to meet all of the demands of the teaching and learning process, but their continued existence as a teaching source is critical. They become one of the most powerful sources of learning in the teaching and learning process, as well as a reflection of a person's or nation's beliefs and views. Culture may be supported by thorough and comprehensive textbooks. This research report examines certain textbooks utilized in one of Indonesia's Junior High Schools. The writer studied the textbooks from a cultural standpoint. This is primarily because, when studying English, Indonesian students should focus on talking about and debating Indonesian culture in English rather than the culture of English-speaking nations. The writer used Bryam's criteria to study and examine the cultural components of English textbooks. Byram's criteria is deemed adequate and complete. This series of checklists is inspired by the concept of cultural learning and teaching as an intrinsic aspect of language instruction. The findings indicate that the textbooks under consideration included local or Indonesian culture. These findings highlight the need of revising English teaching materials in order to contribute to the improvement of English textbooks in Indonesia.
