Abstract

Pronunciation is the way in which a word or a language is spoken. This may refer to generally agreed-upon sequences of sounds used in speaking a given word or language in a specific dialect or simply the way a particular individual speaks a word or language. Teacher need many knowledge on various teaching methods to make their student motivated and doesn’t get bored by the same teaching everyday. One of the method can be used by the teacher is snowball throwing. This research has three objectives which are to find out the way of teaching using snowball throwing, to identify and solve the problem teacher faces while using snowball throwing. The researcher used qualitative research to do his research. The subject of this research was the English teacher at SMA 1 PGRI Banjarmasin. Then to collect the data the researcher used observation sheet and interview guide. In analyzing the data the researcher used steps of data analysis developed by Miles and Huberman. Data reduction, data display and lastly conclusion drawing/ verification. The teacher that the researcher observed taught his student using snowball throwing by grouping students by 4 person each groups and then asked them to write some sentences on a single paper after that he told them to shape the paper into ball looking and throw it to other group. At that time the theory was about asking and giving opinion, so after they got their paper for each group the teacher told the last group that get the paper to come in front and read it by pairs. There are some difficulties of teaching students with snowball throwing method, aside from students overjoying the learning lesson there is a case when the students lack of teamwork, empathy, and support between them. The teachers need to play the role of guiding them and also playing along with students, but with the teacher playing the role as the teacher and ring leader of the game. They should manage it professionally keeping an eye on their students, making the class mood to be as fun as possible and calm at the same time. The teacher also need to guides students how to play the method and explain it clearly for the students to do game-based learning correctly.
