1. Isu Yang Difokuskan
This week, I noticed that some pupils are reluctant to speak English in the classroom,
especially during group activities. Pupils discussed the answers in groups in their mother
tongue (Tamil).
2. Analisis Isu Yang Difokuskan (Punca dan Kesan Isu)
Speaking is the first skill to be acquired in the process of language production.
Communication is one of the basic means of learning. Although some pupils are able to
communicate fluently in English, they still speak in their mother tongue (Tamil) during group
activities. A few pupils were afraid of being criticized by other pupils, and they thought that
other pupils wouldn’t understand if they spoke in English during group discussion. As a
result, it greatly affects pupils' communication skills.
3. Kajian Lampau (Literature Review) Terhadap Isu (Pengalaman atau Kajian Lepas)
According to Tansa Harina (2019), speaking is one of the most important skills, and it‘s
necessary to practice this ability every day to get better results in the learning process. An
individuals should meet three requirements in order to communicate completely. These
requirements include motivation, knowledge, and skills. As it can be seen, having positive
motivation toward communication is of paramount importance while communicating with
others. The success of learning a new language is largely determined by the learner's
attitude and readiness to interact as well as the willingness to communicate in the second
language.
4. Cadangan dan Idea Penyelesaian Masalah
To improve on this issue, I should motivate pupils to speak English in the classroom by
giving them positive feedback. I can reward them if they speak English for the whole
session. I always introduce new vocabulary to the pupils to make them overcome their
language barrier to speak.
5. Tempoh Masa Penyelesaian
1 week
6. Tindakan Susulan
As a teacher, I need to encourage and train the pupils to converse in English with the
teacher and with their classmates for at least one hour in class to improve their level of
proficiency in English communication.
7. Tarikh Tindakan Susulan Dilaksanakan
20. 04. 2022
8. Keberkesanan Langkah Yang Dicadangkan
External motivation, such as giving rewards, is often used to motivate pupils to achieve their
high competence in learning. Pupils will be well-motivated if they know that their teacher will
score their work. The rewards can encourage pupils to speak more and perform well in
English.
9. Kesimpulan / Refleksi (Kesan Tindakan (Perlu) dan Halangan (Jika Ada)
However, pupils needs more practice and it takes time.
