ABSTRACT
Bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa internasional sekarang ini. Banyak sekolah di Indonesia telah menerapkan pengajaran bahasa Inggris karena mereka menyadari betapa bahasa Inggris sangat berguna saat ini dan untuk waktu kedepan. Sekarang ini juga banyak dibuka kursus, salah satunya adalah ACES tempat saya magang sebagai syarat tugas akhir. Ketika saya magang di ACES, saya mendapati bahwa saya tidak percaya diri waktu mengajar. Hal ini sangat mengganggu dalam proses mengajar.

INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
With the development of science and technology, the need for mastering English, especially intellectuals seems real. English has become one of the world's largely used languages in both oral and written communication. Most international businesses now employ English language. Prestigious companies are also setting the standard of TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) for job applicants. There are thousands of programs to learn, work and volunteer around the world, but the most prestigious ones are only offered to those who master English language. In the article, “Ten Reasons to Learn
English”, it is stated that “English is the most commonly used language

Teaching English language is thereby important. The knowledge and skills will be channeled through English. Teachers hold a major roll in the overall learning process. Thus, teachers are required to be able to master the appropriate teaching behavior to make effective learning process take place.
It is necessary for teachers to have self confidence in teaching. Having self confidence is more likely to make teachers deliver lessons better. The learning process can be smoother and more effective. Therefore, the students can absorb the lessons more optimally. On the contrary, nervous teachers will bring the class atmosphere to be uncomfortable. During my apprenticeship programme, I was nervous when teaching in class. I felt so bad because I could not deliver the materials well. Moreover, I was afraid of making mistakes when teaching, which made me more nervous. This has caused disturbance in the learning process. Thus, in this term paper, I will discuss my being nervous in the class to find the best solutions to the problem.
B. Identification of the Problem
During my apprenticeship at ACES, I had a difficulty in teaching
English at ACES. The problem discussed is formulated in the following questions :
2. How did being nervous in teaching affect my teaching and learning process?
3. How is it to overcome feeling nervous when teaching?
C. Objectives and Benefits of the Study
The objectives of the study is to find out effective ways to have self confidence in teaching, the causes and effect from the problem, the positive and negative effects from the potential solutions, and the best solutions to overcome the problem.
The benefits of the study for me as the writer is I can use the best potential solutions the next time I teach maybe I become a teacher. The benefit for the readers and the institution is to give information concerning how to overcome nervousness when teaching.
D. Description of Institution

controlled by Ms. Rhimelda as the new owner of ACES. I got this information by interviewed with Ms. Rhimeldha as the owner of ACES in Bandung.
E. Method of the Study
One of the methods of collecting data that I use for is through observation during my apprenticeship at ACES. The data were
collected in my internship journal. I also got the data from an interview with Ms. Rhimelda as the owner and supervisor of ACES. I also did library and Internet research to find theories to support my analysis.
F. Limitation of the Study
The topic of the discussion is my nervousness in teaching English at ACES. The data was obtained during my internship starting from 6 January 2012 until 8 Febuary 2012 when I taught a class in ACES. I taught a class of high school students consisting of six students in level 3.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
The problem I encountered during my apprenticeship was my being nervous when teaching. It has three causes. The first cause is I lacked of teaching experience. The second cause is basically I was not confident enough to speak in front people because I was afraid of making mistakes. The third cause is I had monotonous teaching techniques. The problem has three effects. First I was not able to deliver the material well. Second I could not become a good model for my students. The last one is I got a warning from my supervisor. The potential solutions to the problem are reading books about teaching methodology, making a lesson plan before teaching, and observing other classes.
Teachers who are nervous in class need to prepare before teaching to make
them more confident. Stronge states, “Teachers with better professional
preparation are also able to provide students with more diverse opportunities
to learn” (5). Hopefully, the three solutions would also help me to have more
confidence the next time I teach.
To sum up, to overcome my nervousness in teaching English at ACES is to apply all the above potential solutions. Each potential solution would
