x : Individual score N : Number of students
Next, after the writer gets the average of students’ listening score within pre-test and post-test of every cycle. Then, the writer seeks the class percentage
which passes the minimun mastery criteria-Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimun KKM by using the formula:
9
P : The class percentage F : Total percentage score
N : Number of students Furthermore, the writer attempts to get the improvement score of the
students from pre-test up to post-test score in cycle 1 and cycle 2. The formula as follows:
10
P : P ercentage of students’ improvement
y : Pre-test result y1 : Post-test Cycle 1
P : P ercentage of students’ improvement
y : Pre-test result y2 : Post-test Cycle 2

G. The Criteria of the Research Success
To make a research successed, it has to have criteria of the research as a guideline when implementing the research. According to David Nunan, there are
six criteria of successful research: 1. The result exceeds the determined target score.
2. The innovation had overall positive response from participating teachers. 3.
The innovation had beneficial impact on students’ listening. A comparative analysis students’ test score indicated, in term of evaluation criteria by the
researcher. 4.
Teachers’ classroom practice changes as a result of participation innovation. 5. The objectives of the innovation largely met.
6. The innovation has a number of distinctive features which contributed to its effectiveness.
11
Hence, this research used the guideline as above. If there is 75 number of students have improvement from pre-
test students’ score to the second post-test in the cycle two and the innovation of the research gives the positive change for
the student learning outcome, then the research will be stopped. Yet, if the students have not passed the criteria, the research will be implemented on the next
cycle.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDING AND INTERPRETATION
This chapter presents the data description and interpretation of data. They are consist of observation data, interview data, the implementation of teaching
listening using guessing game, and the result itself.
A. Research Finding
1. Data of Observation
Based on the observation, the core of teaching and learning process of listening at the first grade of MTs Annida Al Islamy was taken by the teacher.
Mostly, the teacher asked the students to listen then answer the questions given based on the text that has been read before. Next, the teacher asked the students to
do exercise on the students’ handbook. In doing the exercise, the class was quite noisy, yet the students did the exercise.
The students’ responses were less interest, because they wanted the process is enjoyable. Thus, the class needs variation of
teaching techniques to make the students excited and interested in learning listening. In this case, guessing game is the alternative technique. The writer
chose guessing game because young learner loves to play game while learning. Hence, the students’ interest can be attracted.
2. Data of Interview
a. The Description of Data from Interview with English Teacher
of MTs Annida Al Islamy
According to data of interview with English teacher at the first grade of MTs Annida Al Islamy, the teacher was graduated from English Education
Department at one of the University in Jakarta and he has been teaching at MTs Annida Al Islamy about ten years. He said that the implementation of teaching
and learning English at school is quite nice, because the school facilitates language laboratory, audio speaker, and projector. In teaching listening,
sometimes he used media like CD to watch movie, then the students have to make
