Lesson Study Activities in Teaching English: A View from Undergraduate Students' Research

Abstract

As a program implemented initially in Universitas Cokroaminoto Palopo since 2013, lesson study becomes commonly studied by lecturers and students. Several research papers have also been published for the past few years. This research, however, aims at explaining only researches on lesson study in students’ theses from 2015 – 2018. We took the data from the collection of undergraduate theses in the university library. There are thirteen total theses collected, which are classified into two kinds: researches on perception and researches on teaching materials in learning activities. Lectures perceive lesson study as a perfect approach to be used in carrying out the teaching and learning process on campus. In terms of teaching materials, the most dominantly studied are vocabulary, pronunciation, and reading. It was also noted that the trend number of researches on lesson study decreased each year.
