Learning and teaching can be defined as transferring information and knowledge to reach learning goal in the classroom. Delivering teaching and learning process needs an approach. Mostly, approach that is used in the class is an approach that is centered to lecturer. In this approach, lecturer explains the materials in front of the class and students only listen to that explanation. Based on researcher’s experience, students who are talkative in class would be limited to share their ideas in front of class because of using this classical approach.
