August 2013 to February 2014. It has ten classrooms. The researcher took three

classes: X5, X6, and X7 which are taught with TBLT.

The research findings are: (1) Teachers developed their knowledge of TBLT

by joining seminar, training, MGMP, and share with other English teacher; (2)

English teacher in SMAN 1 Pecangaan fully understood the concept of TBLT.

The main point of TBLT is task and students are the central unit of language

learning process; (3) The implementation of TBLT in SMAN 1 Pecangaan were

covered in the lesson plan. The teaching and learning process was started with

and consciousness-raising. In the classroom management, teacher gave

reinforcement to students before they did tasks. Teacher also monitored the

condition of the class and walked around the class to ensure all students

understood the materials; (4) The difficulties encountered by teachers in

implementing TBLT are teacher got difficulties in selecting the materials and

finding the studying facility. In the students’ side, they had lack of vocabulary,

grammar, pronunciation mastery, and lack of self-confidence in speaking. The

students also had different motivation in the teaching and learning process; (5)

or even internet sources. Teacher used to review the materials intensively and give

a remedial assignment. Teacher used to give chance them to practice. Teacher

used to motivate students in the teaching and learning process; (6) The

learning, and the effective of teaching and learning.
