Here I am, Agustin Wahyuni in fourth speaking class with
a new lecturer. I don't know actually who is he. Is he a new lecturer or old
lecture who has just doing some break. Because I never know himself about three
semester lately. Thursday, March 14, I was being hurry to get classroom because
when I arrived in class porch I saw my chief of class with someone dressed like
a lecturer. He brought a stick for guided-walk, I wonder who is he. My speaking
class should be with Mr. Alek, isn't it? I can not check my study program card
because it has not approved yet.
For the opening, he asked us to rearrange the seat formation to became letter U formation. It was casual in speaking class. Since first class, he speak English fluently. I observed but he never spoke with bahasa. Then, he made a rule for class. It a scary rule! (just for me?) He doesn't permitted everybody in class to speak in bahasa because it is speaking class. If he heard someone even whispering with bahasa, he would count until ten times. If whole class already spoke Indonesia ten times, he obliged us to write five thousand words story called novel. I was speechless because the previous class never have a rule to speak full English. At the time, I whispering almost soundless to speak to my friend if I got difficulties to use English. Aaaa, the atmosphere was like when I took English course, we never spoke Indonesia to avoid punishment.
Oh My God, I forgot to mention the name of this lecture. Hahaha, but It's like when he attend in my class, he just introducing himself in the middle hours. He always make us thinking hardly with his statements and questions. Before he introducing himself, he asked to class,

“Who knows my name?”
Some of students
answered, “Mr. Taufiq”
“Taufiq who?”
I looked at Nida, she
answered “Taufik Hidayat”. Some of us answered it too without laughing. I
thought that they were kidding, but no. But then Mr. Taufik laughing while
answered,
“I’ve dressed like that,
you all think I will play badminton?”
Then class laughing. And we
just know that he is Taufiq Effendi, a part time lecture in our campus. After introducing,
he asked us to write down questions in a piece of paper. First quiz would be
hold! Buuuutt, the questions are made me mumbled “HAH?” frequently. Here the
questions:
1. What is the answer of
question number 2?
2. Why do you need to answer
question number 1?
3. Why do you do this test?
I can’t answer all of the
questions. Mr. Taufiq just laugh and said that it was pilosophy questions.
Oh ya, in the middle of the time, when he gave example to
speak with friend, he told about
himself. He told that he got accident when he was kid. It made his eyes got
trouble. But I see he still can see the class, he still can read and write
something in board. I don’t know what the actually meaning of “tunanetra”,
because he said like that, but he still does something with his eyes. He told
that he finished his study abroad by schoolarship. He is wonderful and
inspiring lecturer
I speak to myself that this class would be fun, I will get
more chance to learn to speak. I hope I could speak bravely in this class. I
bored because I never brave to speak up in whatever class. I hope by Mr. Taufiq
coming will make speaking class is fun and always be waiting thing.

Di sinilah saya, Agustin Wahyuni di kelas speaking
keempat dengan dosen baru. Sebenarnya saya tidak tahu siapa dia. Apakah beliau
dosen baru atau dosen lama yang baru selesai cuti. Karena saya belum pernah
melihat beliau selama tiga semester belakangan ini. Kamis, 14 Maret, saya
sedang terburu-buru masuk ruang kelas karena ketika saya tiba di teras kelas
saya melihat ketua kelas saya bersama seseorang berpakaian seperti dosen.
Beliau membawa sebuah tongkat seperti untuk penunjuk jalan , saya
bertanya-tanya siapakah beliau. Kelas speaking kami harusnya dengan Pak Alek,
bukan? Saya tidak dapat mengkroscek KRS saya karena belum disetujui oleh dosen PA.
Untuk pembukaan, beliau meminta kami
untuk mengubah formasi kursi menjadi formasi huruf U. Hal yang biasa terjadi di
kelas speaking. Sejak pertama kelas dimulai, beliau fasih berbahasa Inggris.
Saya mengamati tetapi dia tidak pernah berbicara dengan bahasa Indonesia.
Kemudian, dia membuat aturan untuk kelas. Itu aturan yang menakutkan! (atau
menurutku saja?) Dia tidak mengizinkan semua orang di kelas untuk berbicara
bahasa Indonesia karena kita sedang berada di mata kuliah speaking. Jika beliau
mendengar seseorang yang bahkan berbisik menggunakan bahasa Indonesia, dia akan
menghitung sampai sepuluh kali. Jika seluruh kelas sudah berbicara bahasa
Indonesia sepuluh kali, dia mewajibkan kami untuk menulis novel lima ribu kata.
Saya terdiam karena kelas sebelumnya tidak pernah memiliki aturan untuk
berbicara bahasa Inggris sepenuhnya seperti ini. Saat itu, saya berbisik hampir
tanpa suara untuk berbicara dengan teman saya ketika saya kesulitan menggunakan
bahasa Inggris. Aaaa, suasananya seperti ketika saya mengambil kursus bahasa
Inggris dulu, kami tidak pernah berbicara bahasa Indonesia untuk menghindari
hukuman.
Ya Tuhan, saya lupa menyebutkan nama
dosen ini. Hahaha, tapi itulah yang beliau lakukan di kelas. Beliau baru
memperkenalkan diri ketika kelas sudah berjalan satu jam. Dia selalu membuat
kita sulit berpikir dengan pernyataan dan pertanyaannya yang Masya Allah.
Sebelum dia memperkenalkan dirinya, dia bertanya kepada kami,
"Siapa
yang tahu nama saya?"
Beberapa
siswa menjawab, “Pak Taufiq ”
"Taufiq
siapa?"
Saya
memandangi Nida, dia menjawab "Taufik Hidayat". Beberapa teman yang
lain juga menjawab seperti itu tanpa tertawa. Saya pikir mereka bercanda,
tetapi ternyata tidak. Tapi kemudian Pak Taufik tertawa sambil menjawab,
"Aku
sudah berpakaian seperti ini (baju batik dan celana bahan, juga sepatu kulit),
kalian semua berpikir saya mau bermain bulu tangkis?"
Kemudian
seisi kelas tertawa. Dan kita baru tahu bahwa dia adalah Taufiq Effendi,
seorang dosen paruh waktu di kampus kami. Setelah perkenalan, dia meminta kami
untuk menuliskan pertanyaan di selembar kertas. Kuis pertama akan diadakan!
Tapiiiiiiii pertanyaannya membuatku terus melontarkan kata "HAH?"
Inilah pertanyaannya:
1.
Apa jawaban dari pertanyaan nomor 2?
2.
Mengapa Anda perlu menjawab pertanyaan nomor 1?
3.
Mengapa Anda melakukan tes ini?
Saya tidak bisa menjawab semua
pertanyaan. Pak Taufik hanya tertawa dan mengatakan bahwa pertanyaan-pertanyaan
itu adalah pertanyaan filosofi.
Oh ya, di tengah-tengah waktu
pengajaran, ketika beliau memberi contoh untuk praktik speaking dengan teman,
beliau bercerita tentang dirinya sendiri. Beliau mengatakan bahwa dia mengalami
kecelakaan ketika beliau masih kecil. Itu membuat matanya bermasalah. Tapi saya
melihat beliau masih bisa melihat situasi kelas, masih bisa membaca dan menulis
sesuatu di papan tulis. Saya tidak tahu apa arti sebenarnya dari
"tunanetra", karena beliauberkata seperti itu, tetapi beliau masih
melakukan sesuatu dengan matanya. Beliau mengatakan bahwa beliau menyelesaikan
studi masternya di luar negeri dengan beasiswa. Beliau adalah dosen yang luar
biasa dan menginspirasi
Saya berkata dalam hati bahwa kelas
ini akan menyenangkan, saya akan mendapat lebih banyak kesempatan untuk belajar
berbicara. Saya harap saya bisa berbicara dengan berani di kelas ini. Saya bosan
karena saya tidak pernah berani berbicara di kelas apa pun. Saya berharap
dengan kedatangan Bapak Taufiq akan membuat kelas speaking ini begitu
menyenangkan dan selalu menjadi mata kuliah yang ditunggu-tunggu.
