CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides general outline of this study. It covers background of the study, statement of the problems, aims of the study, scope of the study, significance of the study, and organization of the paper.
1.1Background of the Study
Teaching and learning process is a process in which the teacher transfers the learning materials to the students. The process requires steps or procedures to accomplish. Normally, there should be procedure in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end of the teaching and learning process.
Unfortunately, Wragg (1999: 104) stated that there are some teachers who did not accomplish the steps in teaching and learning process. Furthermore, there are also languages used in classroom when teaching and learning process is conducted. Teacher plays important roles in language teaching (Harmer: 2002). That means teacher should have been teaching skill (Djamarah: 2010).

everyday life. At least, the explanation should be relevant to the objectives, materials, and according to the abilities and backgrounds of students, and given at the beginning, middle, or end of the lesson as necessary. A skill of opening and closing lessons is the fifth to master. In this context, teachers need to design a variety of situation to create a dynamic class. To guide small group discussions is the next skill. The seventh one is classroom management skill related to the creation and maintenance of an optimal learning conditions and controls for optimal learning conditions. The last one is skill to do small group and individual teaching which requires teachers to hold a personal approach, to guide and facilitate learning, and to plan and carry out the teaching and learning activities.
According to Widodo (2007: 16), one of the competencies that should be mastered by the teacher is competency in opening and closing the lesson appropriately. The teacher, in common, assume that opening the lesson is the activities in the beginning of the lesson, such students’ attendance checking, or explaining the topic which will be discussed at the time. In fact, opening the lesson is more than checking attendance or preparing the topic given. Instead, opening the lesson had to be the creative-innovative activities that would arouse the students’ motivation so that the lesson can attract them, and finally the learning material can be conveyed in proper way.

plan, teacher should imagine what will happen in teaching learning process. From the set induction (beginning) up to closure (closing) of that process.
At the end of teaching and learning process, teacher should check all of the process. Ideally, closure activities create powerful learning effects at the tail-end of the class, something that will reverberate for hours after the lesson is over, something a little sticky (Rod Lucero, 1984). In addition, he said that the defining element of the closure activity is that which your students will soon come to realize: class isn’t over until it has taken place. Furthermore, teacher have to use time effectively for evaluating the teaching learning process and measuring the lesson objective (Arend, 2008: 193). Sometimes, the teacher is rushed to complete a lesson that has run over its allocated time, sometimes materials such as test or papers must be collected, almost always students need to get their own personal belongings ready to move to another class, to canteen or to bus (Sidin, 1993). On the other hand, ending of the lesson alert students to the fact that they have reached an important point in the lesson and that the time has come to wrap it up (Shostak, 2006: 99). So, the teacher must be aware of the closk and must begin to initiate closure proceedings well before the lesson is due to end.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter covers the research methodology that elaborates the research design used in this study in order to find out the answers of the problems stated in Chapter I, those are: (1) how does the English teacher act in performing set induction and closure in an EFL young learners’ classroom; (2) what are the students’ responses to the use of teacher’s set induction and closure in an EFL young learners’ classroom? This chapter also covers the subject of the research, the data collections, the techniques for analyzing the data, and the limitations of the study.
3.1 Research Design
A qualitative method was employed in this study. This study used qualitative approach since it tried to describe rather than to count. It was aimed to describe and interpret how the teacher’s act in performing set induction and closure in an EFL
young learners’ classroom and the students’ responses to the use of teacher’s set

events in a setting in qualitative approach. In line with that descriptive was used to give detail of portrayal of specified situations (Wu & Volker, 2009).
3.2 Subject of the Study
The participants of this study were the fifth grade students in a public elementary school in Cimahi. The selection of the school as the study setting was based on the reason that the school was relatively accessible, both administratively and in term of distance. The class consisted of 42 students, 20 girls and 22 boys. Their ages are approximately 10-11 years old. In addition, the teacher is not only having a part as researcher but also as a new teacher who performed set induction and closure in English in the classroom. Furthermore, the example of the lesson plans used in the observation class can be seen in Appendix A.
3.3 Data Collection
There were two data collection techniques employed in this study; observation and interview. Each technique of data collection is described below.
3.3.1 Classroom Observation
According to Sujana (1989) observation is an instrument of collecting data that
can be used to measure the behavior of an individual or the person’s activities which
23
something, or how things look. In addition, through observation, the teacher could
observe implicit understanding, how theory in use, and respondents’ point of view
(Alwasilah, 2002: 155).
Technically, classroom observations were designed to be conducted in six meetings. Table below is a general schedule to be conducted in classroom observations.

The observation sheet is focused on investigating how the teacher implemented set induction and closure components. In addition, two observers were involved to observe the teacher’s performance in performing set induction and closure.
25
recorded the video during the teaching and learning process to check and to complete the needed information. After the video recording, the next step is to make the transcription which was used in the research to understand how respondents organized their perspectives (Alwasilah, 2002: 157). The transcriptions of the video recording were analyzed to recheck how the teacher’s acts in performing set induction and closure and the students’ responses.
3.3.2 Interview
There are two kinds of interview that used as research tools; the structured interview and unstructured interview. This study used structured interview. Structured interview is interview that consists of formulated questions which are designed to be answered in line with data required (Sugiyono, 2008).
In this study, an interview was conducted only to the students. Meanwhile, the teacher was not interviewed because in this study the teacher was also the researcher and the observer. The interviews consisted of some questions related to students’ response to the use of teacher’s set induction and closure in an EFL young learners’ classroom.

the participants to answer the questions. The interview was recorded using a voice recorder.
As recommended by Creswell (1994: 152) the interview was recorded first and the teacher transcribed it later. The transcriptions of the interview and note taking during the interview helped the teacher to get more detail information so it will be
easier to analyze the interviewees’ responses toward the interview schedule. The

3.4 Data Analysis Methods
The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive qualitative data analysis. The data in this study were gained through observation and interview. Those two types of data collection technique are technically different. Eventhough, both observation and interview are transcribed in the same way.
a. Observation
Observations were conducted in six meetings. In observation, there were two instruments used to observe the teacher in performing set induction and closure such as observation sheet and videotaping.
29
b. Interview
The second technique employed in data collection of this study was interviewed. It was conducted in order to get in-depth information from the participant (Alwasilah, 2000).
The interview was conducted after doing the classroom observation. It was administered in a form interview since there might be some possibilities from the teacher to not answer the question clearly. In an in-depth interview, the research can gain more information about the topic than the structured interview (Alwasilah, 2000). The interview consisted of several questions for children related to teacher’s performance in performing set induction and closure.
In this stage, the data gained from three instruments which were divided into several steps of analysis to answer the research questions. Miles and Huberman (1994) state that there are three steps on analyzing the data, those are: data reduction, data display, and conclusion that are described as follows.
3.4.1 Data Reduction

3.4.2 Data Display
The data from observation and interview were displayed in the form of narrative text and tables. As Miles and Huberman (1994) states, narrative text is the most common form to be used in displaying data in qualitative studies. The data were displayed and analyzed at the same time to facilitate an easier reading of the data and analysis.
3.4.3 Conclusion
After analyzing the data, the last step was drawing the conclusion based on the obtained data. The conclusion arrived by the research questions (1) How does the English teacher act in performing set induction and closure in an EFL young learners’ classroom; (2) What are the students’ responses to the use of the teacher’s set
induction and closure in an EFL young learners’ classroom.
3.5 Reliability and Validity of the Study
In conducting qualitative research, the researcher was aware that there might be biases and reactivity. Moreover, to avoid the two threats, the researcher tried to make the data valid and reliable with the following ways:
3.5.1 Member checking
31
is employed in order to (1) prevent misunderstanding toward the respondents’ answer
in an interview, (2) prevent misunderstanding toward respondents’ behavior during
observation, and (3) confirm respondents’ perspectives toward what was happening. To prevent all misunderstandings, the researcher asked the respondents especially the teacher, to check the transcriptions and interpretation of the data in order to enable the researcher to achieve validity of the research.
3.5.2 Rich data
To get the rich data, the researcher made a complete transcription of the interviews. It was useful to enrich the interpretation of the data. Maxwell (1996, cited in Alwasilah 2002:178) proposes that the purpose of rich data not only as evidences resources of supporting conclusion but also as a test for theories being developed.
3.6 Concluding Remark
This chapter has discussed the methodology of the study in details in order to investigate how the English teacher’s acts in performing set induction and closure and
the students’ responses. A qualitative descriptive design was used in this study. The
data was collected through observations, videotaping, and interview.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions and suggestions of this study. The conclusions are formulated from the research questions, while suggestions provide some ideas addressed to English teachers and further research related to the teacher acts in performing set induction and closure.
5.1 Conclusion
This study concerns about the teacher’s acts in performing set induction and closure in an EFL young learners’ classroom. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the teacher’s acts in performing set induction and closure. Furthermore, this study is also aimed at finding out students’ responses to the use
of the teacher’s set induction and closure. To achieve the objectives of the study,
the data were obtained through observation on six classroom-meetings. The results of the observation were then clarified through the interview that was conducted to the subject. The conclusions regarding the study could be drawn as follows.
52
evaluating. However, it was found from the observation that one component, which is stating the lesson objectives, was not delivered by the teacher. This is because the teacher believed that it was not necessary to deliver the lesson objectives to the students in EYL level. This situation is in contrast with the theory from Suwandi (1996) about the importance of stating the lesson objectives directly or indirectly. Still, the teaching and learning process was conducted effectively.
Second, according to the students’ interview, it was revealed that teacher’s performance in set induction and closure contributed positive influence for motivating the students. Consequently, the teaching and learning process can be delivered in proper way.
5.2Suggestions
Based on the research findings, discussion, and the conclusion of the research results, it is suggested that some further actions take place to give the constructive ideas for the readers, especially for English teachers and further researches regarding teacher’s performance in performing set induction and closure.

use language for purpose, give language model, provide comprehensible inputs and help students to acquire the language.
For further researchers concerning teacher’s set induction and closure, it is recommended to conduct the research for longer periods of time to give clearer
description and better result about teacher’s acts in performing set induction and
closure in EFL young learners’ classroom. Next, further researchers are suggested
