7. Collecting and Analyzing Data
After finishing the teaching and learning process, the researcher distributed a questionnaire for 32 students of XII Kimia Industri class. The aim of
the questionnaire was to reveal whether or not the implementation of authentic materials was able to improve students‟ listening comprehension skill.
Furthermore, the researcher also conducted interviews for nine selected students as the representatives of the respondents who were chosen randomly. The purpose
of the interview session was to examine the students‟ opinion and perception towards the implementation of authentic materials. The data gathered then was
analyzed by triangulation method.
8. Reflecting
After the researcher finished the action and the researcher compiled all the data which were gathered from field notes, observation checklist, interviews,
questionnaire, and student journals, the researcher discussed what went well and what went wrong during the implementation. Furthermore, based on the
discussion, the researcher made a reflection on the events happened during the implementation, including the strengths and the weaknesses of the action given.
The researcher in this step examined whether the students‟ achievement met with
the indicators or not. Then, the process of planning, acting and observing, and reflecting were considered as the one cycle.
9. Revising Plan for the Next Cycle
The planning for the next cycle was based on the result of the previous cycle. If the action in the first cycle still performed insignificant progress on

46 students‟ listening comprehension skill, the researcher and the teacher prepared
the second cycle to improve the weaknesses of the first cycle. Whereas if the first cycle already shown a good progress compared to the preliminary, the second
cycle would be conducted to ensure that the given action was able to solve the problem. The focus of the research was still on the implementation of authentic
materials to improve students‟ listening comprehension skill through listening activities. The difference was that the research modified the materials.
10. Reporting
After having all the research procedure completed, the researcher made a report of the research conducted. The report covered background problems of the
research; related theories and principles; methodology used to gather and analyze the data; discussion on implementation; conclusion of the implementation and
suggestion for the future research. Documents used during the implementation were also compiled and attached in appendices.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
There are two major sections presented in this chapter. The first section reveals the description of the use of authentic materials to improve listening
comprehension skills. The findings and the discussion are reported based on the data gathered from observation, field notes, and
students‟ journal. The second section reveals how authentic materials improved listening comprehension skills
of XII Kimia Industri students. The discussion covers the research results that are gained from the questionnaire and interview.
A. The Description of the Implementation of Authentic Materials to
Improve Listening Comprehension Skills
Authentic materials in this research were employed to help the students improve their listening comprehension skills. There were four stages in this
research to be done according to Kemmis McTaggart‟s CAR Model, namely
planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Nevertheless, in this research, acting and observing were combined as one stage because it can be done in tandem.
There were two cycles conducted in this research. The first cycle was conducted on March 28, 2011 at 10.30-11.00, and the second cycle was conducted
on April 6, 2011 at 10.15-11.05. Both cycles are summarized in the Table 4.1 as follows.
