Abstract

Teachers’ presentation plays important roles in teaching and learning activities. Most teachers focus on the material and the design needed to be presented to the students. However, they do not put the presentation to attract students’ interest to involve. The practice aimed to find out the effectiveness of random presentation in building students’ curiosity towards English topic. The practice applied qualitative design by using literature study. The focus groups of participants were 7th grader students in Brighton Junior High School, Depok. Data collection involved questionnaires distributed to 52 students. Additionally, data were gathered from students’ reflection and classroom observation. The results indicate that teachers’ random presentation helped students to recognize the pattern of the lesson. Students need to involve in every discussion in order to understand the meaning and the topic discussed. Random presentation performs best when it is made in PowerPoint. Teachers are able to create creative transition and order of the appearance to provide time for students to think. Therefore, a random presentation is not just putting content randomly without paying attention to the purpose. It takes teachers’ effort to think deeply about the content and interaction build from the presentation. Teachers who apply it should figure out an effective time-management between building curiosity and explaining the main topic.
