CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a brief description of the whole content of the
research. It includes the statements of the problem, the scope of the study, the
aims of the study, and the significance of the study. Clarification of terms and the
organization of the paper are also enlightened in this chapter.
1.1 Background
In Indonesian context, English is a foreign language. Although it is taught
from kindergarten level and has become one of the important subjects at schools,
it is not used as a communication language in Indonesia. Therefore, in general the
learners are limited to use English only in the classroom. In other words, students
cannot use English to communicate with their surrounding outside the classroom.
This fact is supported by Xiao-yan who states that “For foreign language
learners, classroom is the main place where they are frequently exposed to the
target language” (2006: 5). Then, Cameron comes up with on interesting
suggestion dealing with the limitation of use English in Indonesia that lack of
exposure outside classroom can be taken by the teacher as considerations to
maximize learners’ exposures to the language through classroom activities (2001:
199). Thus, providing plenty of language exposures for learners during the
teaching and learning process in the classroom are needed to support an active use
Teacher talk can be used as one of alternative ways to give plenty of language
exposures for learners in the classroom. Liruso and Debate (2003:140) say that
teacher talk is generally the only source of comprehensible input and live target
language model in classroom. There are many reasons for teachers to talk in their
classroom. One of the reasons is to give instructions (Moon, 2000: 61).
In giving instructions, teachers use several ways such as modifying their
language to give instructions by using lower rate of speech, basic vocabulary,
more frequent pauses, declarative and repetition (Chaudron (1988) as cited in
Lisruso and Debate (2003: 140). In addition, Nunan (1991: 191) as cited in Liruso
and Debate (2003: 141) states that modified speech is more intelligible source and
potentially more helpful for language acquisition. In addition, as explained by
Enright (1991) in giving instructions teachers have several language adjustments
to address to young learners through nonverbal adaptation such as gestures,
mimes, contextual visual aids and para-verbal such as speaking clearly, slowing
pace, using pause, rephrasing, and repetition. Thus, instruction can be considered
as one of teacher’s way to give comprehensible input for young learners in
acquiring language.
Moreover, delivering instructions in target language is considered beneficial.
As proposed by Slattery and Willis (2001:20) through English instructions, the
learners are provided with language expressions for real purpose, they have the
the language, and they also are able to understand the sounds and patterns of the
language intuitively.
Teachers can use instructions as a routine and start from the simple ones.
They may repeat the same words and patterns of instructions in each meeting so
that the learners become accustomed to them (Paul, 2003: 37). It will be better for
the teacher to do scaffolding in giving instructions. They can try from the simple
ones such as using one word to give instructions such as “look!” and then try
again with longer ones such as “look at the picture!” (Moon, 2000: 73). However,
sometimes communication breakdowns occur while the teachers deliver
instructions (Pinter, 2006: 48). Communication breakdown happens when the
learners do not understand what they should do.
There are some points can be taken into consideration by teachers in order to
avoid communication breakdown between the teacher and learners. Teachers can
use mime (Paul, 2003: 81), and gesture (Philips, 1993:7). In addition, Liruso and
Debate (2003: 3) state that drawing student’s attention, no modeling and checking
students’ understanding can be teachers’ consideration in delivering English
instructions.
Referring to the issues discussed above, this study tries to investigate the
strategies used by a primary school teacher in giving oral instructions in EFL
young learners’ classroom, the types of instructions and the students’ responses
1.2 Statement of the Problems
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the strategies used by a
primary school teacher in giving oral instructions, to find out the types of
instructions, and students’ responses toward oral instructions. They are guided by
answering the questions:
1.What strategies are used by a primary school teacher in giving oral
instructions in EFL young learners’ classroom?
2.What types of instructions are delivered by the teacher?
3.What are the students’ responses toward oral instructions?
1.3 Aims of the Research
From the earlier explanation and the proposed research questions, it is clear
that the study attempts to explore the strategies used by a primary school teacher
in giving oral instructions in EFL young learners’ classroom, to find out the types
of oral instructions delivered by the teacher, and to investigate the students’
responses toward oral instructions. The fact that English is a foreign language in
Indonesia thus it is only taught in a formal setting. Classroom is main place for
learners to get exposures. Therefore, using English oral instructions can be one of
alternative ways for the teacher to give language exposures. This phenomenon is
so interesting to be investigated.
1.4Scope of the Research
There are many aspects of teacher talk and classroom language that can be
investigated. However, this study specifically looks at the oral instructions in EFL
young learners’ classroom by investigating the strategies used by the teacher in
giving oral instructions, the types of the instructions, and the students’ responses
toward the instructions.
1.5Significance of the Research
There are two significant outcomes expected from the study namely
theoretical and practical benefits. Theoretically, the result of the research is
expected to enrich the literature on English instructions by providing a
comprehensive description about the practice of the English oral instructions
performed by the English teacher in EFL young learners’ classroom. For other
researchers, this study is expected to be used as an additional source. Practically,
for the teacher, the result of the research is expected to give some benefits for the
teachers in terms of practical matters on the English oral instructions in EFL
young learners’ classroom by considering the students’ characteristics. Through
this research, the students are expected to be able to improve their English ability,
be motivated to learn English, be more active to involve themselves into learning
process and apply the language for real purpose. For the management of the
school, principals or policy makers, the result of the research is expected to lead
process or to hold a training for the smallest scale related to the use of teacher talk
or classroom language.
1.6Clarification of Key Terms
There are some significant terms in the research that are needed to be
clarified to avoid misinterpretation, they are:
a. Instruction
Instructions refer to directions that are given to introduce a learning task
which entails some measure of independent student activity (Ur as cited
in Liruso and de Debat, 2003: 143). In this study, instructions refer to
each direction delivered by the teacher orally during the teaching and
learning process.
b. Young Learners
Young learners are children between 5-14 years old (Pinter, 2006: 1). In
this research young learners refer to the fifth grade of primary school
students, 11-12 years old.
1.7Organization of Paper
This paper is divided into five chapters. Chapter I is about introduction.
Chapter II is theoretical foundations. Chapter III is the research methodology.
Chapter IV is the findings and discussion of the research. Last, Chapter V is the
conclusions and suggestions.
Chapter I consists of an introduction which provides the background of the
significance of the research. Clarification of terms and organization of the paper
entitled teacher’s English oral instructions in EFL young learners’ classroom are
also presented.
Chapter II focuses on the theoretical foundations from the experts that are
relevant to the present study. This chapter also presents research investigation
from previous researchers regarding English oral instructions.
Chapter III comprises the methodology of the research employed to
investigate the strategies used by the teacher in giving oral instructions, the types
of instructions and the students’ responses toward oral instructions. It includes the
research design, subject of the research, data collection procedure, and data
analysis.
Chapter IV provides the findings and discussion of the study. In answering
the proposed research questions, the presentation is organized based on the
question. Therefore, the first section discusses the strategies used by the teacher in
giving oral instructions from both classroom observation and videotaping
observation. The second part of the chapter presents the types of instructions
delivered by the teacher. The last section provides students’ responses toward oral
instructions from observation and interview.
Chapter V presents all the conclusion of the study and also provides the
recommendations for further researchers and related institution concerning
1.8 Concluding Remark
This chapter has discussed the importance of English oral instructions. Since
English as foreign language in Indonesia therefore plenty of exposures in
classrooms are needed to encourage students’ ability. For that reason, finding an
appropriate way to give exposure in the classroom is needed. Instructions as one
of the parts of teacher talk can be used to give comprehensible language input.
The terms have been clarified to give introduction to the study and organization of
this paper has been explained in order to give a brief description about the whole
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter covers the research methodology that elaborates the research
method and procedures used by the writers. This chapter includes research design,
subjects of the research, data collection, and data analysis. Specifically, this research
was conducted to find out the strategies applied by the teacher in giving oral
instructions, the types or instructions and the students’ response toward oral
instructions.
3.1 Research Design
Qualitative approach and descriptive method were employed in this study. The
purpose of qualitative approach is to understand, describe and explain beliefs,
behaviors and meanings in context-specific settings (Wu and Volker, 2009). As stated
by Creswell (2008: 254) descriptive study is an investigation which is a detailed
rendering of people, places, or 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). Both qualitative approach and descriptive method were to describe
and interpret the strategies used by the teacher in giving oral instructions in EFL
young learners’ classroom, the types of instructions, and students’ response toward
3.2 Subjects of the Research
This study was conducted in one of the primary schools state in Cimahi. The
school can be categorized as a challenging school for the research because lack of
English exposures in the classroom and English teacher’s competence. Therefore, the
researcher as a novice teacher tried to apply English oral instructions in the classroom
involved fifth grade students.
3.3 Data Collection
Several techniques were employed to collect data of this study. As stated by
Alwasilah (2002: 149) survey or questionnaire, interview, observation and document
analysis are several methods that can be employed to collect data. In collecting the
data needed for this study, the researcher used two of them they were observation and
semi – structured interview. Some instruments were also employed in this research.
Those were observation sheet, field note, teacher’s note, videotaping, and interview.
3.3.1 Observation
As stated by Fraenkel and Wallen (1990: 369) observation is a
collecting data process to record the information of things that are observed. In
addition, through observation, the researcher could observe implicitly the
understanding, how theories are related, and the respondents’ point of view
(Alwasilah, 2002: 155).
During the teaching and learning process, there were several English
teachers as observers. Observation sheet and field notes were applied in order to
strategies applied by the teacher in giving oral instructions. It can be seen as
follows.

To find out the types of instructions and problems which were
encountered while giving oral instructions, the researcher used field notes for
investigating the students’ response. As what stated by Creswell (2008) field
notes can be applied to record data during an observation Creswell. The field
note was used to see the types of instructions used by teacher and the students’
responses toward oral instructions. Furthermore, the information taken from
field notes was also used to support the data finding from other instruments of
this research.

3.3.2 Videotaping
As suggested by Fraenkel and Wallen (1990) recording can be replayed
for several times in order to check and to correct the data. The researcher
applied videotaping to check and to complete the needed information.
Videotaping was done during teaching and learning process. In addition, by
using videotaping, the information could be gathered to complement the
information that was not observed when the research was conducted to recheck
the data. Moreover, Alwasilah (2002: 157) agrees that the transcription also is
used in the research to understand how respondents organize their perspectives.
Since the researcher was the novice teacher, the researcher observed and
gathered the data to answer the research questions through the videotaping and
video transcriptions. See appendix E for video transcriptions.
3.3.3 Interview
To complement the data and to get more information, semi – structured
interview was conducted to find out more aspects about the problems of
research and to add the data from observation and videotaping. Alwasilah
(2000: 154) says that some conditions that cannot be captured by other
instruments can be covered during the interview. Furthermore, Stake (2010:95)
mentions that the purposes of interview for qualitative researcher are: (1) to
numerical unit of information from many persons; (3) to find out about a thing
that the researchers are unable to observe themselves.
The interviews consisted of some questions related to students’
responses toward teacher’s English oral instruction in EFL young learners’
classroom. As stated by Nunan (1992: 149), semi-structured interview allows
the researcher to take control of the interview. As recommended by Creswell
(1994: 152) the interview was recorded first and the researcher transcribed it
later. The transcription of the interview and note taking during the interview
helped the researcher get more detail information so it would be easier to
analyze the interviewees’ responses toward the interview schedule.
In this study, there were five students interviewed randomly to see their
responses toward English instructions given by the novice teacher. Interview
schedule can be seen in appendix C while interview transcriptions can be seen
in appendix D.
3.4 Research Procedures
There were several procedures employed in conducting the research. Firstly,
after getting the permission from the principal to conduct the research, lesson plans
for six meetings were arranged. To get clear information about lesson plan see
appendix G. Secondly, listing possible of instructions for each lesson plan. Thirdly,
orally. There were two observers invited to observe the strategies applied by the
teacher in giving oral instructions, the types of instructions, and the students’
response toward oral instructions in each lessons. Next, six meetings of teaching and
learning process were recorded to be transcribed. Coding process occurred along
transcribing. Then, analyzing the data regarding to the theory presented in Chapter 2.
The last is presenting the result.

3.5 Data Analysis
In this study, the data were gained through observation, videotaping and
of the observation process was a field note and observation sheet done by the other
observers, the result of videotaping was video transcription, observation, field note
done by the researcher, and the result of interview was an interview transcription.
As proposed by Alwasilah (2000: 159) coding is needed to help the researcher
in several ways. First, it helps the researcher identify phenomenon. Second, it helps
the researchers count the frequent of existing phenomenon. Next, the frequent of
codes shows the result of the research. The last, it also helps the researcher to
organize categorization and sub-categorization.
This study employed coding to analyze the video transcription. The use of
parentheses ‘( )’ in the transcriptions is to clarify the subject actions. Less. Stands for
Lesson while figure “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6” show times for each meeting or observation.
For example, Less.6 referred to the lesson in sixth meeting. To answer the first
research question concerning the teacher’ strategies in giving oral instructions, the
data were categorized and coded regarding to the frameworks that were synthesized
from Liruso and Debate (2003), Wright (2003), and Flynn and Hill (2006). The
coding system is as follows, TS refers to teacher’s strategies in giving oral
instructions, and TS1 is drawing students’ attention before giving instructions. TS2
refers to giving instructions briefly and clearly, TS3 is a code for using simple
language and simple sentence, and TS4 is for using gestures and facial expression.
Delivering one instruction at a time is assigned as TS5 and giving modeling and
by involving the students, while TS8 is for using pauses. TS9 refers to using
repetition, paraphrase and speech modification and using visual aids such as photos,
pictures, drawings or real objects is assigned as TS10.
Here is the example of categorization and coding in data analysis. See
Appendix F for more detailed information.

Table 3.4 Illustration of Coding System Regarding to the Strategies Used in Giving Oral Instructions
To investigate the second research question concerning the types of
instruction, the data were categorized and coded based on the framework from
Holmes (1983) as cited by Liruso and Debat (2003: 142). The coding system is as
follows, ToI refers to types of instructions, Imp refers to imperatives instructions. Int
refers to interrogatives instructions and Dec is a code for declaratives instructions.

[image:19.612.116.526.599.691.2]To answer the last research question about the students’ response towards oral
instructions, the data were categorized and coded based on the framework from
Suherdi (2009). The coding system is as follows, SR refers to students’ response
while Rr refers to students’ relevant response, Ro is assigned to students’ no
response and Irr is a code for students’ irrelevant response.

Table 3.6 Illustration of Coding System Regarding the Students’ Responses
After categorization and coding stage were completed, then the data were
interpreted. Since this was a qualitative descriptive design, as proposed by Miles and
Huberman (1984) cited in Sugiyono (2008:249), the most frequent form of displaying
data for qualitative is in the form of narrative text. However, the data were presented
not only in narrative text form but also in the form of tables.
3.6 Concluding Remarks
This chapter has discussed the methodology used in the study in order to
instructions and the students’ response toward oral instructions. A qualitative
descriptive design was used in this study. The data was collected through
observations consisted of observation sheet and field note, videotaping, and
interview. To avoid bias two English teachers were invited as observers for each
meeting, videotaping and teacher’s diary also used since the researcher was a novice
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions and suggestions of this research. The
conclusions are formulated from the research questions, while suggestions provide
some ideas addressed to English teachers and further research related to English
oral instructions.
5.1 Conclusion
This study has been concerned with the teacher’s English oral instructions
in EFL young learners’ classroom. The purpose of this study is to investigate the
strategies used by the teacher in giving oral instructions. Furthermore, this study
also aimed to find out the types of instructions used by the teacher and the
students’ responses toward oral instructions. The conclusions regarding to the
study can be drawn as follows.
Firstly, there were ten strategies used by the teacher in giving oral
instructions. It included drawing students’ attention before giving instruction,
giving instructions briefly and clearly, using simple language and simple sentence,
using gestures and facial expression, delivering one instruction at a time, giving
modeling and demonstration, checking students’ understanding by involving the
students, using pauses, using repetition and paraphrase, and using visual aids.
Secondly, there were three types of instructions delivered by the teacher,
types of instructions used frequently by the teacher were imperatives form. As
shown in Chapter 4, table 4.1 there were 90.75 %% of imperatives form, 3.08 %of
interrogatives form, and 6.16 %declaratives form.
Thirdly, according to the finding result, it was revealed that there were
three types of students’ responses. It included relevant responses, no response and
irrelevant response. Students’ relevant responses frequently appear during the
lessons. The percentages of each response are 70.31% for relevant response,
irrelevant response 24.37% and 5.04 % for no response.
The last, in language aspect English oral instructions contributed positive
influence for the students. First, students are provided with English expressions so
that they can use the language for a purpose. Second, it can be considered as
comprehensible inputs and language model for the students. The last, students are
motivated and excited to learn English. They imitate teacher’s instructions and try
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 English oral instructions.
Many English teachers think that using English in their classroom is hard
and impossible. They are not confident to speak English or they consider that their
students are the basic level learners. This condition can affect students’ failure in
language acquisition. Therefore, the teacher may want to apply an alternative way
to give English exposures in the classroom.
Instructions as a part of teacher talk can be used by teacher as one of
alternative ways to give language exposures for the students. Instructions cannot
be separated from teaching and learning otherwise it frequently appears in
learning process. Using English oral instructions can be a bait for the teachers to
motivate their students. Through English oral instructions, the teachers use
language for a purpose, give language model, provide comprehensible inputs, and
help students acquire the language. Thus, do not give up before trying.
For further researchers concerning teacher’s oral instructions, it will be
better to conduct the research for longer periods of time to give a clearer
description and a better result about teacher’s English oral instructions in EFL
young learners’ classroom. Next, further researchers are suggested to explore
