Abstract

The main purpose of teaching is to optimally create a comfortable learning atmosphere through a harmony in instructional communication to obtain an optimal learning achievement (Sibarani, 2004: 175;Willis, 2010: 81-82). An optimal learning achievement is determined among others by the increasingly fluent language ability of the learner since the more fluent his or her language ability, the more fluent his or her thinking and the more successful his or her learning will be (Suherdi, 2012: 4). Success is determined by 20% hard skill and 80% soft skill (Aman, et al., 2014: 425) and the language norm is one of the factors (Pranowo, 2014: 182, Kartika, 2004: 67 and Darmojuwono, 2011: 21). The sample of this study was selected purposively from senior high schools and vocational schools in Singaraja. The data were collected through observation and interview. The result showed that the harmony in instructional communication in creating a comfortable learning atmosphere was dominantly (85%0) determined by the readiness of the teacher to understand the students’ condition, for example, his or her willingness to lose ( ready to control himself or herself) by not protracting an emotional condition. On the contrary, the teacher showed respect, solidarity, polite attitude and behavior to the students. On this basis, it is suggested to teachers to show a polite attitude and to speak politely to the students. For example, the teacher greets the students rather than the students greet the teacher.
