4. Report of Cycle II
a. Planning
After reflecting the implementation in Cycle I, the researcher and the collaborator determined actions which were implemented in Cycle II. In Cycle II,
the focus was still on the same problems found in Cycle I. Since the actions that had implemented in Cycle I were quite successful to solve the problems, it was
decided to implement the same actions as in Cycle II. In addition, some new actions were implemented in Cycle II with the hope that the teaching and learning process
can be more interesting and the students’ speaking performances can significantly improve. The implementation of the actions in Cycle II was based on the evaluation
of Cycle I.
1 Using classroom English
Classroom English was used in some ways such as in opening the lesson, greeting the students, explaining the materials, giving the instructions, giving
feedback, and closing the meeting. The use of classroom English in Cycle II was the same as that in Cycle I. The difference was that the use of Indonesian translation
was reduced for some expressions that the students were already familiar with, such as greeting, and simple instruction expressions.
2 Applying Numbered Heads Together strategy
Generally, the implementation of Numbered Heads Together strategy was successful to help the students understand the materials and encourage them to
speak up in the class. Therefore, the strategy was applied to the teaching and learning process in Cycle II.
To minimize the students’ mispronunciation, more drilling on how to perform a dialogue was given. Regarding the time management, the time was
managed so that the students can get more time in practicing English in the class. The students were encouraged to use English when they had discussion. To observe
how the students had group discussions, the collaborator assisted to check the group discussions.
The students were divided in the same groups as in Cycle I. The researcher made sure that all of the students still had their numbers.
3 Providing listening and interactive activities
Listening and interactive activities were still provided. The activities successfully facilitate the students to comprehend the materials and encourage them
to speak up in the class. To enrich the activities, list of vocabulary which related to the materials was used and examples on how to use the expressions were given.
