The researcher used two instruments in this research, which were document and observation in gathering the information that the researcher was needed.  In detail, the pedagogical knowledge divided into three criteria. Those were preparing the lesson or lesson plan (approach of teaching, methods of teaching, class activity, and assessment), implementing the class activity (classroom management), and evaluation or implementation of assessment. In preparing the lesson, all teachers use the same approach and methods of teaching language. This showed a positive result that they design the lesson plan used pedagogical knowledge without left-behind the 2013 Curriculum instruction. Also, they were able to perform the learning stages with good classroom management and assessment session.
