SUMMARY
This journal was about IRF (Initiation-Response-Feedback) On Classroom Interaction for

Computer Students in SMK 1 Yapim Medan. The researchers do research because they found
that the students has problems in speaking. They frequently got to be hesitant to take part in a
classroom interaction. For illustration, there are several students who are not able to express their
idea in English both in written and oral form. Secondly, it seemed that the students did not have
substantial amount of vocabulary mastery and thirdly the students often gave few respond when
the teacher ask the question in the classroom. These problems caused by the quality of
interaction between the teacher and the students, and the students and the teacher.
Goronga (2013) asserts that the classroom interaction makes the students participating in the
teaching and learning process. It means that classroom interaction encourages the students to
involve. For example, when the teacher ask a question the student give respond related to the
question.
The method of the journal use descriptive qualitative design. The data were collected in three
ways by observing by video recording, interviewing and questionnaire. The data was analyzed
based on Sinclair and Coulthard theory (1975). So, based on analyze the researchers got the
result. First, the language used by the teacher and the students in the classroom interaction was
not balance. Both teacher and students used bahasa for 70% and the rest 30% for English. It
happened because when the use English the student not understand what the teacher say so that
the teacher used Bahasa. Second, there was the lowest pattern responded by student. It had 20%
responses given to the students because the students made many mistakes in pronouncing some
words when they read the text.
