School Visit



The school that I observed is Mtsn Kuta Baro, my visit aims to see and consider the media that the teacher used in the classroom. The media that the teacher used is visual as printed media in teaching descriptive text to student in 2nd grade of junior high school. Firstly, the teacher explain to the learners what descriptive text is and the structure of the text by giving an example which is supported with Infocus. Why Infocus ? why the teacher (T) didn’t use the white board ? According to Ms. Rahma she explains that, if she use the white board then it will takes time to write the material in the class. while infocus, the T can prepare the material at their home and show it to the learners in the classroom.

After explaining the material, teacher divided the pupils into 4 groups and 1 picture for each group. In this part, the T use picture as a task that the learners have to do and discuss it on how to describe the picture that the T gave, then the representative come in front of to read it to the class. in that time, T only monitoring the pupils and help them in correcting their error. T correct students’ error directly due to the T wanted all of the learners learn their friends error and try to minimize it.

At the end of the class, the T provide a game named guessing game which the representative of the grop have to guess what kind of animal, flower, or thing that the group describe. As can be seen in the picture below, there is a representative of the group sat in front of the class trying to guess what the thing that the group described.

In short, visual medium was used in teaching learning about descriptive in EFL students class. The picture used as a task in the classroom which also supported by Infocus in order to make it easier cooperated in the class.
