ABSTRACT
This final project report was written based on the job training done at SD Al-Firdaus Surakarta. The objectives were to describe the process of teaching English to the fourth grade students, to describe the problems encountered by the writer, and to describe the solutions to the problems.
The writer did an observation on the first day of the job training. The result of the observation was used as an initial reference in arranging lesson plan. The lesson plan was used to keep the writer on track when teaching a certain material in the class. In the teaching process, the writer had a class procedure which consists of three steps, they are: preparation, explanation, and exercise.
There were some problems that the writer encountered. The first problem was the students’ attention, and the second one was unequal level of speed in acquiring the material given. The writer also provided some solutions to the problems; for example, increasing his voice volume or warned the noisy students, and giving a personal attention to the students with slower speed in acquiring the new materials. The writer tried to build a personal link between teacher and students by coming to the students’ chairs while they were doing exercises. The writer asked them what difficulties they might find in learning the materials.
