Abstract

This research aimed to explain the students’ responses toward teacher’s questions, the barriers faced by the students, and what types of questions mostly used by the teacher in the English classroom interaction. It was a qualitative research which used a descriptive analysis. It was conducted at SMP N 1 Winong, Pati. The participants of the study were an English teacher and the students in the eight grade. The data were taken by interviewing the English teacher and ten students. Besides, the researcher also taking video-recording of the teaching-learning process which were then transcribed into written form. I classified the teacher’s questions types based on Long and Sato’s (1983) classification and for the students’ responses were based on the number of words they produced. The results of the analysis showed that the students’ responses toward teacher’s questions tended to be very brief. The responses were in the range of one up to three words. While the research finding of students’ barriers in responding to teacher’s questions were five barriers, which are fear of making mistakes and lack of self-confidence, anxiety, lack of background knowledge, lack of opportunity, and lack of interest in English. This study also found that the teacher mostly used display questions rather than referential questions. Those two types of questions were divided into pure English questions, Indonesian-English questions, and pure Indonesian questions. From the results, it showed that full Indonesian questions were the most common and frequently asked by the teacher.
