process. It would be explained clearly based on the aspects which the writer used in making the observation.
3.6 Steps of Doing Action Research
In this study, the writer followed these steps of doing action research. It was started with finding preliminary idea, did pre-survey and diagnosis. The spiraling
cycles included planning, implementation, observation and reflection.
3.6.1 Preliminary Idea
The idea appeared when the writer taught English in SMP Negeri 2 Tengaran. The writer found that some students got difficulties in writing. Writing is one of the
four skills that needs very complex ways to master. When the students eager to write, they need ideas and then they can share in their writing. But the problem is
that sometimes Junior High School students are lack of vocabularies and it can make them lazy to write. The solution is they just write what they know without
trying to find out other vocabularies in a dictionary. Here the teacher also will get the same difficulties. Therefore, in this study the writer would like to use audio-
visual aid of processes in the form of video to help the students in writing a procedure text.
3.6.2 Pre-survey
Pre-survey is the next step in which the writer has to know about the condition of that class. The writer found that the students didn‟t like to write and they spent
much time to write a simple writing. When they are not interested in writing, they like to cheat their friends‟ job. Therefore, sometimes there some same jobs in a

class. From that case, the writer tries to find out a method to solve that the problem, so the students will be independent in writing. The writer would choose
which problems would be solved first so that all of the problems could be solved step by step.
3.6.3 Diagnosis
The diagnosis appeared when the writer taught about writing to the seventh grade of Junior High School students. Here the topic is about writing a procedure text.
The writer analyzed and then used the audio-visual aid of processes to help the students in writing a procedure text. The audio-visual aid of processes is one of
the solutions because it can make the students clear about that subject. A video as part of the audio-visual aid of processes must be familiar to the students because it
is like when the students are watching television.
