3.1 Research Design

The writer used action research in this study. Action research defines as a systematic study that combines action and reflection with the intention of improving practiced Ebbutt 1985:156 in Cohen 1994:297. Action Research means the researcher does his or her research by teaching real students in the real class, using steps which were designed by him or herself.
