Teachers’ Experiences Reflected in their Teaching of Descriptive Text to Grade VIII Students of SMPN 2 Medan

The study was aimed to see whether teachers’ experiences are reflected in
teaching descriptive text to grade VIII students of SMPN 2 Medan or not. This
study was conducted by using descriptive qualitative method through a collection
of techniques used to specify, delineate, or describe naturally occurring
phenomena without experimental manipulation. The data were gathered by
administering interview to three English teachers with different years of
experience and observing their teaching of descriptive text during a classroom
session. The observation and interview result proved that the three English
teachers did not reflect their teaching experience when teaching descriptive text to
the students. The reason why the three English teach descriptive text in the ways
they do varied from one to the other.
