Abstract

The research’s purpose is to explain and describe the implementation of brainstorming in teaching English at the First Year of Senior High School level. This research was held at the First Year of Senior High School 12 Pekanbaru. There were three English teachers who had participated as the informants. To collect the data from the informants, the researcher used the technique of interview and observation. Instrument of interview was used to collect detailed qualitative data expressed in the respondent’s own words in order to describe the implementation of brainstorming in teaching English at the first year of Senior High School 12 Pekanbaru. Then, instrument of observation was used to crosscheck the interview result. Both instruments obtained the data in the form of verbal or non-numerical (qualitative data). The obtained data from the observation and interviews had analyzed by interpretive techniques. The result of this research showed that the activities of English teachers in the implementation of brainstorming at the First Year of Senior High School 12 Pekanbaru were varies. However, the researcher found and identified some common ways in the implementation of brainstorming. The ways were in the beginning, teachers explained the objective of brainstorming. Then, teachers used various activities to brainstorm students’ ideas (e.g. word map, making list of words, etc.). Commonly, teachers recorded students’ responses on the board. Teachers established a short time limit (e.g. 5-10 minutes). Teachers did not judge on students ideas in order to gain as many as students’ ideas. At the end, teachers announce the topic of the lesson. Based on the result of this research, it is suggested for both teachers and students to pay much more attention to the ways of developing various brainstorming activities with the students. For English teachers of other schools who do not yet use brainstorming or use it only partially are suggested to try or expand its use.
