INTERVIEW

1. Pertanyaan pertama saya adalah tentang teaching method yang anda gunakan

ketika mengajar esp speaking di kelas psikologi. Kira2 apa saja teaching method

yang biasa anda pakai?

Jawab: Honestly sih, kalo saya itu tidak memperhatikan apakah teaching method

saya itu seperti apa, for example misal seperti invitation saya ingin membuat game

yang seperti di “take me out” . jadi mereka adalah ada kontestan dimana mereka

seperti yang kalo di “take me out” itu contohnya ya yang kayak jomblowati2 itu dan

lainnya itu harus invite, invitation siapa yang paling mengena dan menggiurkan itulah

yang di terima, contohnya seperti itu. Jadi itu gimana ya, kalo untuk method biasa gak

begitu mempertimbangkan apa sih method ini namanya apa. Soalnya saya kan juga

sering menggunakan metode ceramah, padahal sekarang ceramah kan sudah gak di

masukin metode lagi kayak gitu lo tapi masih menggunakan ceramah. Trus lagi

grammar translation itu kan juga sudah uzur ya tapi itu hampir tidak pernah saya

gunakan. Kalo yang ceramah itu ya sekali sekali ya. Karena kan di tiap mengajar

paling enggak harus ada penjelasan materi itu apa harus begitu. Kalo ceramah itu

pasti, tapi kan masalahnya selain ceramah itukan sudah gak di masukin lagi dalam

teaching method yang baku, maksudnya kan yang sudah old. Ya itu, jadi paling

sering ya ceramah itu.

4

2. Sekarang yang kedua, ketika mengajar kan tidak mungkin semuanya berjalan

mulus, pasti adalah masalah2 yang timbul ketika proses belajar mengajar itu

berlangsung. Kira2 dari situ masalah2 apa yang sering timbul?

Apa ya? Masalah yang sering timbul itu adalah pertama mungkin mahasiswa kurang

asepsi, kurang menperhatikan kayak kadang mereka rame sendiri kayak gitu, biasa

kadang mereka bosen dengan metode atau game yg saya gunakan atau yang ketiga

adalah mereka terlalu aktif atau terlalu for example seperti di beberapa jurusan

tertentu mereka tidak bisa di samakan kemampuan bahasa inggris jadi kalo misalnya

saya mengandaikan kemampuan bahasa inggris misal speaking tentang job interview

jadi saya merasakan itu beberapa jurusan tertentu itu agak kesulitan karena memang

mereka basic bahasa inggrisnya belum sekuat jurusan yang lain. Jadi ya itu,

kemampuan basic bahasa inggris mereka itu yang gak sama. Dan saya harus

menyamaratakan semuanya, gak sih I meant membuat sesuatu yang berbeda lah

suapaya itu mudah di cerna oleh jurusan tertentu tersebut.

3. Jadi dari masalah2 yang timbul itu, terus jurus2 apa yang ibu gunakan supaya

bisa mengatasi masalah tersebut?

Ya itu..membuat aktifitas yang menyenangkan for example seperti itu tadi. Jadi kita

berusaha mengadopsi seperti yang lagi hits sekarang itu kan for example like reality

show yo tadi like take me out untuk materi giving invitation, role play untuk yang

appointment, terus apa lagi ya? Kayak yang terbaru ini nanti seperti giving

information ya saya suruh untuk meng-identify gimana cara mereka giving

5

information di beberapa tempat yang berbeda for example parking area. Kalimat

giving information apa yang cocok. Kalo misalnya di library giving information apa

gimana yang cocok dan itu dalam satu kesempatan. Terus ini lagi, procedure juga

membuat handycraft dalam satu kesempatan itu dan mereka membuat handycraft

dengan bahan2 yang seadanya. Jadi mereka sengaja gak saya suruh bawa bahannya

Cuma saya kasihkan saja bahan seadanya dengan topik yang sudah di tentukan

misalkan grup 1 mendapatkan topic flower, grup 2 grass dst. Mereka membuat itu

dari bahan yang di sediakan.

2. Terus untuk masalah yang timbul dari mahasiswanya itu sendiri apa ada?

Ya itu, saya semangatin mereka. Ayo wake up wake up. Saya relasikan sesuai dgn

study field mereka. Contoh kyk kemarin saya kasih video tentang sesuatu, tentang

giving. Jadi kalo kalian nanti jadi wakil rakyat kalian itu harus bisa member kalian

tidak boleh hanya menuntut dari rakyat atau pemerintah saja. Kalian harus

mengayomi, kalo kalian jadi anggota dpr kalian bisa berguna bagi Negara. Jadi saya

relasikan begitu. Saya juga kasih semangat. Saya juga mem-poin. Jadi siapa yg bisa

menjawab ini saya berikan poin . bahkan rebutan jadi oyok’an gitu

3. Terus untuk msalah kalo dari kampus sendiri apa ada masalah?

Fasilitas?? Sebenarnya sih tergantung dari kreatifitas kita sendiri. Tergantung kita

juga sih bisa memanfaatkan fasilitas yang ada. Seadanya lah, kalo terbatas kita harus

bisa memaksimal semaksimal mungkin. Jadi mahasiswa gak melulu di kelas. Kadan

di gazebo, taman perpus.
