Abstract

This study aims to find a number of classroom interaction patterns between the English teachers and students in Class XI of SMAN 1 Bengkulu and the teachers’ methods for manipulating the interaction in the classes. It was designed as a qualitative research in which the data were obtained via observation and interview. The data were also analyzed by applying Ur theory consisting of five classifications of classroom interaction patterns, such as Teacher (T), Teacher- Teacher (TT), Teacher-Students (TS), Students (S), and Teacher-Students (TS). The results indicated that there were four of five interaction patterns that occurred in Class IX at SMAN 1 Bengkulu during the pandemic. The patterns comprised T, TS, T and SS. In accordance with observations which were carried out as many as eight meetings, as many as six meetings showed that the interactions were still dominated by the English teachers. Contrarily, the students only listened to the material presented without participating in conveying opinions. Even one meeting took place in a passive way. However, there was one meeting which showed the activeness of the students by delivering ideas in classroom, supported by the qualified ability of the teachers in delivering many English topics. In addition, the interaction pattern of SS happened when the students obtained motivation by the English teacher to read the dialog in the book reference. Furthermore, the teachers also manipulated the class situation by arranging classroom to keep its conditions being comfortable and influenced on students’ high concentration while studying. The further method was to apply communication media, such as computers and smart phones equipped with an internet network. However, the lack of interaction during the pandemic was affected by a limit on the number of students, nearly 50 percent. It brought about communication activities in the classrooms did not run optimally. To sum up, there were four interaction patterns showed in teaching and learning conducts during pandemic at SMA 1 Bengkulu. But, most interractions were still dominated by the English teachers with the interaction pattern of Teacher-Teacher (TT). Therefore, the students are suggested to keep being motivated to attend the teaching and learning process. Then the other suggestion is that the further reserachers can apply Ur's theory or others to discuss about interaction patterns comprehensively in face to face teaching and learning activities in normal situation. Key Words: Classroom Interaction Patterns, Class Manipulation, Corona Virus-19.
