Measurements ofnoise levelsateach schoolis capturedfromninesample pointsbyusing asound level meterand surveyof schoolfacilities and infrastructurethat are environmentally friendly. The comfort level of public high school learning environment in the city of Denpasar based on the level of noise has exceeded the qualty standard 55 dB, with the highest noise in the school yard of 73,0 dB, which motor vechicles as the main caused. Temperature and humidity do not affect the level of comfort, because they already meet the standards. Lighting of class room in eight public high school in the city of Denpasar very well. Because it meets the quality standard. Availability and management infrastructure is optimal and adequate to support mostly high school in the city of Denpasar.

<p>Code Switching (CS) is shifting from one language to another in a conversation. It is a normal every day practice among people in the world for various reasons and usually an unconscious activity. This language switching might not be the whole sentence, but also can occur in brief phrases or words. Therefore, in this study, using CS as a medium of instruction was focused on. The objective of this study is to describe the functions of CS done  both by teacher and  students.</p><p>The data for this study were collected at State Junor High School 18 of Purworejo on 12th and 13th July, 2013. The researcher chose the eighth grade VIII G class of SMP Negeri 18 Purworejo. The data were taken twice (two meetings; 2x80 minutes). There are 40 students and one English teacher, Ms. Titik Kusumawati, S.Pd. The data of the study were collected in the form of recorded class- room interaction with videocamera and the observer’s field notes. The two types of database were examined in order to identify what kinds of activity were involved in the teacher-student interaction. The analysis of the data was adobted from Sert (2005). The func- tions of student CS includes equivalence, floor holding, reiteration, and conflict control. While the functions of  teacher CS include- schecking understanding, asking clarification, clarification, transla- tion, and socializing adobted from Flyman-Mattson and Burenhult (1999).</p><p>Code Switching (CS) is shifting from one language to another in a conversation.

As value of observation in the class room the students have score 6.0. This score is as a poor category. In this research the aim is to solve this problem until the students have a good score, while the standard curriculum is 6.5. This research aimed to improve the students’ reading comprehension at eleventh grade students of SMAN 10 Makassar. This research used Classroom Action Research (CAR). The research was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages that is planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. Data were collected through test namely multiple choices and essay. The subject of research was 32 students of SMA Negeri 10 Makassar. Authentic material was obtained by internet, magazine and newspaper. The result of the study showed that there was improvement of students’ reading comprehension after being taught by using authentic materials. There was a significant improvement of the students’ reading ability, after getting the implementation of action among 2 cycles, and the finding was 18 students (56,25 %) in the first cycle and 28 students (87,5%) in the second cycle who can pass minimum completeness criteria (KKM). Therefore, the application of authentic materials in learning and teaching process can improve the students’ reading comprehension and has reached the instruction targeted in curriculum at that school. The students are more active to participate in learning reading by applying authentic materials.

I have never yet heard of a high school teacher’s being satisfied with the first-year pupil’s knowledge of common fractions, and the other day a I. A. girl frankly admitted that she could not multiply 12⅔ by 15¾ because she had skipped one grade, had then had algebra and geometry, and the review didn’t touch on mixed numbers. Of course, this was not the fault of any teacher, but the fault of a system which is trying to crowd too many things into too small a space. The real efficiency of the schools does not depend upon their being housed in million-dollar buildings, under a well-organized administrative force, excellent equipment, etc.; it depends upon two things,—what is taught, and how it is taught; and more especially upon the latter; for every teacher of mathematics knows that a pupil can derive as much permanent good from the study of a very few topics or theorems, so presented as to be pleasing to the pupil, or at least interesting, and at the same time make him think, as he can from ten times the amount of material “rammed home” with the sole object of being reproduced at examinations. The policy of standardizing everything by examinations is doing our expensive school system an untold injury; the report of the city superintendent compares the schools according to the number of their pupils who pass the examinations, and the principal warns the teacher that he is rated according to the number of his pupils that pass, and this pressure is passed on to the pupil. Until some method of close class-room observation and supervision is introduced with a view to allowing free rein to a teacher’s individuality and originality even at the expense of his pupil’s failing the conventional examinations, it is hardly worth while suggesting other changes.

I have never yet heard of a high school teacher's being satisfied with the first-year pupil's knowledge of common fractions, and the other day a 1. A. [a specific grade level] girl frankly admitted that she could not multiply 12 2/3 by 15 3/4 because she had skipped one grade, had then had algebra and geometry, and the review didn't touch on mixed numbers. Of course, this was not the fault of any teacher, but the fault of a system which is trying to crowd too many things into too small a space. The real efficiency of the schools does not depend upon their being housed in million-dollar buildings, under a well-organized administrative force, excellent equipment, etc.; it depends on two things,—what is taught, and how it is taught; and more especially upon the latter; for every teacher of mathematics knows that a pupil can derive as much permanent good from the study of a few topics or theorems, so presented as to be pleasing to the pupil, or at least interesting, and at the same time make him think, as he can from ten times the amount of material “rammed home” with the sole object of being reproduced at examinations.

<p>This research aims to describe educational implementation<br />at Madrasah Diniyah, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The research<br />performed in ten Madrasah Diniyah. The results show that<br />educational implementation at Madrasah Diniyah is relative simple.<br />This could be observed in curriculum implementation that are all<br />their own products and only small amount have added lessons used<br />for UAN (National Final Exam, for elementary school and junior<br />high school). <br />That self-made curriculum is very simple; only contain kind<br />of course and their teachers. Education methods used by the teachers<br />I ustadz are translation, less explanations I lecture, and qiroah. In<br />implementing education, not all teachers prepare pre-test and post­<br />test. Educational evaluations performed at Madrasah Diniyah tend<br />to cognition ability of the students, that is their reading holy book<br />skills and religious know ledges. Only few Madrasah Diniyah<br />implemented skill education for their students. In performing<br />educational implementation at Madrasah Diniyah, the teachers do<br />not prepare learning programs in first place; such as weekly<br />programs, semester programs, and annual programs. Moreover, if<br />we take a look on educational infrastructures using in this learning<br />are relative simple, only sit on the floor, not all in the class room,<br />minimal display, etc. <br />From competency point of view, the teachers at Madrasah <br />Diniyah are less relevant in their alumni. Only few of the teachers at<br />Madrasah Diniyah graduate from educational institutions, majority <br />are Islamic boarding house alumni.</p>
