Procedures of The Research

action.The interview was conducted during the research by interviewing the English teacher and the eighth grade students. This interview process was aimed to get the responses and feedbacks from the English teacher and students who directly involved being research process and to get the responses of the result of implementing the action. The forms of the data were interview transcripts. Meanwhile, the observations used observation checklist to guide the researcher and the collaborator in writing down any information and the process of the running of the teaching and learning process in this research.The observation process was conducted before and during the implementation of the action. The data of observation was collected by observing the teaching and learning process in the classroom.The forms of the data were field notes. Besides, the quantitative data was in the form of reading test. The instruments used in the reading were test pre-test and post-test in the form of multiple choices. The reading test was conducted as a part of the monitoring sequences in the research. To measure the improvement of students‟ reading comprehension, the researcher conducted post-test of reading. The result was compared with the result of the pre- test of reading if the students‟ reading comprehension is improved or not. The result of the test was used as supporting data.The data scoreswere in the form of score transcripts.

G. Techniques of The Data Analysis

There were two types of data in this research, namely qualitative and quantitative. To analyze the qualitative data, the researcher refers to the stages of data analysis suggested by Burns 1999:157-160. They are presented in the following. 1. Assembling the data In this step, researcher collected all the data to see what really occurred over period of the research. The data were collected in the form of field notes, interview transcripts, and reading scores transcript. 2. Coding the data Burns 1999:157 says that coding the data is a process of attempting to reduce the large amount of data that may be collected to more manageable categories of concepts, themes or types. Then, the researcher divided the data that could be decoded qualitatively i.e the field notes and the interview transcripts, and quantitatively i.e the pre-test and the post-test. 3. Comparing the data After categorizing the data, the researcher needed to compare the data from different sources of data, for example the interviews compared with the observations and the pre-test and the post-test scores. This aimed to see whether the data showed the same conclusion or the contrasts. 4. Building interpretation In this stage, the researcher dealt with a great amount of creative thinking about what the data were saying by reflecting beyond the immediate surface details. The researcher discussed with the English teacher to pose questions, to identify connections, and to develop explanations about the meanings of the research.
