Researcher used a qualitative approach taken from interviews and used semi-structured interviews. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data, which included self-reflective evaluations from both the teacher and the student. Interviews are interactions between two persons in a single opportunity. The data is organized, summarized, and interpreted to get the essence of the participant's experience.
The findings show that one of the main problems experienced by students is a little anxious and a little boring during class. In this study also found participants' self-reflection of doubts in language including in determining the direction and consequences of thinking. However, a teacher also pays a little less attention if students have a lack of self-confidence so that students seek more knowledge through students worksheets and other learning resource.
This research has various kinds of shortcomings due to the limited time given by the school so that the interview must cut school hours. In addition, students and teachers take time during learning hours. Every thing went smoothly and according to plan.
