INTRODUCTION
It is universally recognized that teacher is a backbone of any educational system
because knowledge is transferred from the teachers to be taught. Every country is giving a
prime importance to the quality of teachers and national policies have been influenced by the
growing realization that teachers have a key role to play in determining the quality of output
of educational institutions. Even the modern technology has its own important roles in
supporting the educational system; teacher is still the vital element in the teaching and
learning process.
Teacher is a person who teaches, especially in a school. It is universally recognized
that the teacher is the key person in an education system. She/he enjoys the high esteem and
prestigious status sometimes denied to kings and emperors and he/she plays pivotal role.
Around him, whole system of education revolves. Nowadays, teacher is so much needed in
order to develop education’s quality. According to Harmer (1990), there are metaphors to
describe what teachers do; sometimes they are like actors because they are always on the
stages. Others think they are like orchestral conductors because they direct conversation and
set the pace and tone. In other words, teacher is a person who is trusted to educate the young
generation to be a well-educated person. Being a teacher is not as easy as what people think.
Teacher should know how to teach and manage their students in the classroom. In addition,
teacher has a significant role in teaching the students.
Furthermore, Richards & Rodgers (2014) state that ‘Role’ refers to the part that
learners and teachers are expected to play in carrying out learning tasks as well as the social
and interpersonal relationships between the participants. In attempting to determine a
problem language, the teacher has some roles. A good teacher should have a capacity to
perform his roles depend on different circumstances effectively. According to Harmer
(1990), a teacher has six roles in managing a class, they are controller, assessor, organizer,
prompter, participant, and resource. Additionally, Sanjaya (2007) also states that teacher has
six roles in managing a class during teaching and learning process, they are teacher as a
learning source, facilitator, manager, demonstrator, guide, and motivator.
However, whole elements that the researchers try to figure out are all about classroom
management which the management itself refers to skill in the organization and presentation
of lessons in such a way that all pupils are actively engaged in learning. This requires an
ability to analyze the different elements and phases of a lesson, to select and deliver
appropriate material and to reduce sources of friction. Moreover, a good management in a

classroom can help students to reduce their levels of stress. Teachers can also build up their
students’ and their own self-management and learning skills in the classroom. Smith and
Lastleth (2002) point out four rules in classroom management. The first is “get them in”
which means the way teachers start a meeting or a class. This rule consists of greeting,
Seating and starting. The second rule is “get them out” which means the way how teachers
end a meeting or a class. This rule consists of concluding and dismissing. The third rule is
“get on with it” which means the main part of the lesson the nature of its content and the
manner of its presentation and the fourth rule is “get on with them” which means teachers
develop good personal relationship with their students.
To create a succeed education, a good classroom management will be so much
needed, because by applying this, a teacher can control, organize, assess and prompt a class
well. Based on the fact that the role of a teacher in managing classroom is needed by the
entire teacher, the researchers would like to find out the teacher’s roles in managing the class
during the English teaching and learning process in SMP Advent Samarinda.

METHODOLOGY
The design of this research is descriptive design with qualitative approach. Referring
to Quenn (1990), the qualitative approach has some characteristics, those are: (1) qualitative
research has the natural setting as the direct source of data and the researcher is the key
instrument; (2) qualitative research is descriptive; (3) qualitative researchers are concerned
with the process rather than simply with outcomes or products; (4) qualitative researchers
tend to analyze their data inductively; and (5) “Meaning” is of essential concern to the
qualitative approach. Additionally, Suryabrata (2003) says, literally, descriptive study is a
research to make a description about situation or events. In this sense, descriptive study is an
accumulation of basic data merely in a descriptive way. It is not necessary to test its
hypothesis, to make prediction or to get meaning and implication.
Regarding with research instruments that the researchers use, firstly, the researchers
are the key instruments. In this case, the researchers have some functions, such as; determine
the focus of the research, select some information as the source of the data, assesses the data
quality, analyze the data, and conclude of the findings (Sugiono, 2009). Secondly, the
researchers used questionnaires which were given to the students to get students’ ideas about
the roles of the teacher in managing the class during the teaching and learning process. There
were two kinds of questionnaire which were be used, they were free answer and multiple
choice. In this case, questionnaire is a set of questions deal with a single topic which is

related one another. This is used for investigating a problem which influences people. The
questionnaire should be answered by the subject distributing to the subject in order to get any
answers, responses, or ideas which is needed (Kartono, 2009).
Furthermore, the third research instrument that was used by the researchers was
observation sheet to collect the data of the teacher’s roles in managing the class during the
teaching and learning process. The main aspect that the researchers focused on was the
teacher’s roles in managing the class which are applied during the teaching and learning
process. Furthermore, the statements in observations sheet are the combination of the theory
of Harmer and Sanjaya. In addition, the researchers also used field note to write activities
which happened in the class during the researchers do the observation, such as the situation of
the class and the activities during the teaching and learning process. Lastly, the researchers
also had an interview. In this case, the researchers directly had some questions with the
teacher who was the subject of this study.
Moreover, to collect the data, the researchers act as passive observers where they did
not participate to any single activity during the lesson. Related to how the researchers analyze
the data, the researchers used a flow model of data management and analysis methods which
proposed by (Miles & Huberman, 1994). Specifically, the data analysis contains three linked
sub processes: data reduction, data display, and data conclusion drawing/verification.

At the beginning, in starting the class, the researchers saw that the teacher played the
role as a guide. Here, she invited her students to pray and after that she gave the morning
motivation before starting the teaching and learning process. This is the habit which should
be done by every teacher who teaches in the first subject. In a few moments after that, the
writer saw the teacher played the role as an organizer. Here, the teacher told the students
what they are going to learn at that day. This also happened when the teacher gave the
assignment, she firstly gave clear instruction and she made sure that the students were ready
to do the assignment. The teacher also gave examples before she gave the assignment. During
doing the assignment, she walked around the class and to see her students work. Next, when
they checked and discussed the answer together, the teacher let the students answer the
questions. She also listened to the idea or opinion from the students. In the last session, the
teacher had last review about the material that had been learnt. At the time of the end of the
class, teacher gave short review to strengthen their mind about the material which had been
taught.
In the second day, the researchers did the observation in class eight. Here, the
researchers got the same data. The teacher still played the same role as she did in the first day
when she taught class seven such as a controller, a demonstrator, a guide and an organizer.
The way of teaching which the teacher did in this class was same with the way of her
teaching she did in the first observation. The only different thing which was done by the
teacher in this was the writer use LCD in teaching. In this class, the researchers got a new
role. Here, the researchers saw the teacher also played the role as a prompter. The researchers
saw how the teacher supported the students during the teaching and learning process and
especially at the time when the teacher gave assignment to the students. During the teaching
and learning process, the situation of this class was alive. The researchers saw that the teacher
sometimes threw some jokes to make the students laughed and happy.
In the third day, the researchers the researchers saw that the teacher still played the
same role as she did in the two previous meeting. She still acted as a controller, a guide, a
prompter, a participant, an organizer and an assessor. Although the way the teacher did
teaching was somewhat different with those previous meeting, but she still showed and
