Teaching English By Using Multimedia For 9th Grade Of Junior High School: Best Practices During Pandemic Covid-19

Abstract

The best practice aims to describe the use of multimedia (Powtoon) in teaching procedure text in 9th grade of junior high school. How is the use of multimedia in teaching procedure text in 9th grade of junior high school? From the writer reflection after doing the best practice, I learned that the use of multimedia makes the students not engaged in the learning material. I learned that as a teacher we have to pay attention to the student’s interest while learning in a pandemic situation. By using Powtoon as learning media and google form as their platform to do their assignment, google classroom unables the writer as the internship pre-service teacher to upload content knowledge related to procedure text by using powtoon as learning media. Students can access prior knowledge from the learning platform but in the learning process they are still passive and not engaged. Therefore, Powtoon facilitates students more to be engage and understand in learning Procedure Text in English. As a suggestion for the next internship, pre-service teacher must have many methods and strategies to implemantation powtoon and google classroom so that students are more engage in the learning material to be taught.
