1.1Background of the Study
In educational system, school is an institution designed for the teaching of students under the direction of teacher. In school, students learn to socialize and get as much knowladge from the lesson given by the teacher. In order to deliver and absorb the knowladge, both teacher and students must have teaching-learning activity. Teaching is one of aspects of education which tries to help students in acquiring, changing or developing skills, attitude appreciation and knowladge. According to Brown (2000: 7), teaching is showing or helping someone to learn how to do something, giving instructions, guiding in the study of something, providing with knowladge, causing to know or understand.

According to Wearmouth, et all (2005), students’ behaviour are the result from interactions between people and their environments or society. Moreover, Wearmouth, et all (2005: 110) say that difficult behaviour which seems to a particular student may be indicative of a range of contextual issues associated with society, family, etnic or community, school, classroom, pear group or teacher, as well as the individual student. Thus, teacher has to understand what students’ needs in class activity so that teacher can handle than choose an appropriate teaching method in their class.

According to Richards (1990: 48), the teacher is initially an observer and investigator of the learners’ learning behaviours and
subsequently provides feedback on kind of strategies that are most successful for carrying out specific learning tasks.
