Therefore, all education levels have implemented this concept, including the university level. Unfortunately, many pupils are sill passive during the teaching process. This phenomenon also appears in the English Language Teaching Department of Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Purwokerto. The low participation of the sudents happens in all classes, including grammar class. Based on the pre-observation process in a grammar class, the average score of sudent participation was only 58.82%. From seven categories of sudent participation, two indicators were sill 0% called asking a quesion and giving consructive or positive comments to the teacher or other sudents. There was also one category that only achieved 41.18%. Besides, the atmosphere was not conducive since some sudents talked to their classmates and looked quite bored.

The research was done in one cycle that consised of three meetings. The insruments used for collecting the data were an observation sheet of sudent participation and a teacher observation sheet.
