Many researchers have preferred to use questionnaire and interview only in their investigation, however Golato (2002) reports that the data from teachers’ perception and interview may or may not be accurate, as there is often a considerable gap between what people think they do and what they actually do (Tian & Hennebry, 2016). This paper presents the investigation on teacher code-switching from the point of view of teachers’ understandings and beliefs about effective language teaching and learning. The study was carried out in an EFL classroom in four junior high schools in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia where the teacher and the students share Bahasa Minang (L1) and Bahasa Indonesia (L2). Conversation analysis was used as a tool to investigate the function teachers’ code-switching and stimulated recall interviews with five teachers which focused on instances of code-switching. The analysis showed that although code-switching clearly helped teachers and students in the teaching and learning process, it was often done on an ad hoc basis. The use of stimulated recall interview provides a powerful insight into the way teachers code-switch in the classroom. The findings suggest the incongruence between what the teacher thinks and they do in practice and resulted in stimulated self-reflection which may help teachers to develop pedagogical self-reflexivity.Key words: Stimulated recall, self-reflection, EFL classrooms

SCROL provides procedures that help students to achieve good comprehension. This researcher used a quasi-experimental design by using the pretest-posttest control group design with purposive sampling technique. The pre-test and post-test scores of the experiment class, indicate that the t-obtained (5.44) is higher than the t-table (1.68488) with degree of freedom (df) = 39 and (α) = 0.05. Therefore, alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and it means that there is significant effect of SCROL strategy toward the students’ reading comprehension on hortatory exposition text. The calculation of post-test both classes indicated that the t-o is (2.82) which is higher than the t-table (2, 02439), with degree of freedom 20 + 20 – 2 = 39 and (α) = 0,025. Thus, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and it means that there is significant difference between using SCROL strategy and common strategy. Finally, t-obtained both of classes is (2.82) which is higher than t-table (1.68488) with (α) = 0. 05. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and it means that SCROL strategy is better than common strategy in teaching reading comprehension on hortatory exposition text.

Good affective is believed can support the students’ successfulness in learning. That’s why, the English teacher must assess the students’ affective frequently and continuously as an attempt to gain the progresses and the changes of students’ affective during the learning process. But, the English teachers have some problems in designing instrument for affective assessment based on scientific approach. So, it’s become the main issue in doing the evaluation for English classroom. For that reason, the researcher used qualitative method by giving depth interview with the English teachers in Junior High School in order to point out the issues. Moreover, it’s found that: (1) the instrument used by English teachers in assessing affective was still general, not based on phases in the scientific approach; (2) the indicator for scoring affective could not define the specific description for each type of affective; (3) the English teachers focused on one attitude to be assessed; and (4) the instrument used in assessing affective was a blank paper without any instruction, explanation, or table for noting the students’ scores. Finally, it is hoped that the English teachers can develop the instrument based on subject and approach used in English language teaching.

Common affective problems in speaking in front of audience are anxiety and low-self esteem.
