grammatical knowledge at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta such as, teacher as
controller, teacher as an organizer, teacher as prompter, teacher as a resource, teacher
as tutor, teacher as an observer and teacher as a model. Here the writer will explain
each teacher’s role as follows:
a. Teacher as Controller
The teacher as controller means the teacher should control the students
activity, keep the condition of the students, and helps the students to focus study in
the classroom. The teacher is in complete charge of the class. The teacher assumes
this role when a new language is being introduced and accurate reproduction and
drilling techniques are needed.
In classroom activity, the teacher always has the rules to control the students’
work and pay attention to the explanation given by the teacher. The teacher is mostly
the center of focus, the teacher may have the gift of instruction, and can inspire
through their own knowledge and expertise. Usually the condition of classroom
activity is not conducive, so the teachers have to keep the condition of students in the
classroom. The teacher also tries students to keep busy, it is to help students to focus
students in the classroom.
Based on observation, for example: At the beginning of teaching English the
teachers give the instruction for the students to pay attention with the teacher’s
explanation, such as: “attention please”, “silent please”, “be quiet”, “don’t be noisy”,
“tolong didengarkan jangan ramai sendiri”, etc.

The teacher gives some motivation to the students about
how to learn English language easily. The teacher can
tell a story about the teachers’ experiences to study
English and sharing the students about inspiring story.

materials. So the students need the teachers inthe learning process.
48
The teacher is a kind of walking resource center ready to offer help if needed,
or provide learners with whatever language they lack when performing
communicative activities. The teacher must make her/himself available so that
learners can consult her/him when (and only when) it is absolutely necessary.
For example:
Before the lesson begins, the teacher search the source
of material on the internet, or book, or other sources, the
teacher delivers the material from the source which
discover by the teacher.
(Based on interview April 12, 2016)

for the students briefly. The teacher as a tutor means the teachers also explain the
purpose of the materials. If the students do not understand about the material the
teacher will be explained again.
The teacher acts as a coach when the students involved in project work of
self-study. The teacher provides advice and guidance and helps the students clarify
ideas and limit tasks. This role can be a great way to pay individual attention to a
student.

assignment from the material that already given and the teacher explains what the
assignment is. Then, the students do not understand with the explanation, the teacher
should explain back to make the students really understand with the assignment.

techniques used in teaching learning process is successful or not.

without honing this skill, he can never truly understand students and meet their
individual and group needs.

the teacher know how far the students understand the
material, the teacher usually gives the spot question for
the students, if the students can answer the question it
means that the students pay attention to the teacher
explaining.
(Based on observation April 15, 2016)

teacher becomes a model for the students. The teacher do something like reading
aloud, drilling, repetition that will be imitated the students to know how to read a
word well.

Teacher: good
(Based on observation April 18, 2016)

so that the students can share their knowledge with others. The students who already

but the student’s answer still incorrect, so the students can
evaluate their learning style.
