c. Observation of Cycle 1
The observation was conducted by the researcher and the collaborator. It was held during the teaching and learning process. The focuses of the observation
were the teaching and learning process which included the researcher and the students, and the learning progress. Observation takes an important role in this
research because it is a record of things that happened during the action. The result of the observation is used to see the progress in the teaching and learning
process.
1 The Teaching and Learning Process of Cycle 1
The process of teaching and learning was done based on the procedure of teaching vocabulary by using Play School DVD. Both the researcher and the
students did every step carefully. Generally it can be said that good condition was created in Cycle 1. The researcher always came on time to the class. She had
prepared all the media used for the research and started the lesson when everything was ready.
For the first and third meetings, the researcher was busied to calm down the students. They were so noisy when the researcher and the collaborator came
into their class. It was because they had their lesson just after they had their long break. It was about 30 minutes break. The researcher tried to get their attention,
then, played the Play School DVD. When the Play School DVD was played, the students turned silent. They seemed to enjoy watching the Play School DVD.

At the first meeting, the students were still reluctant to respond what was asked by the researcher to do. But in the next meetings, the students could respond
to what the researcher asked to do. The students could follow the researcher’s instructions in the teaching-learning process. When the researcher
asked them to watch the DVD, they were really happy. But when they were asked to watch the
DVD again, they seemed unhappy. It seemed that they did not like to watch the same sequence in the DVD twice. To overcome such problem, the researcher gave
another activity. They were asked to find out the pictures that had been showed before on the DVD, to listen to what the native said, and to imitate it. The
researcher also helped the students by rewinding the DVD containing the word
given twice or three time so that the students could listen to the word well. In four meetings, the researcher tried to help the students in spelling the
word. Some students still got difficulties in spelling the letter. She repeated to spell the letter so that the students could get better understanding in spelling those
letters. In constructing the word learnt into a simple sentence, the researcher gave
a model to the students. When she asked the students to repeat the sentence, they did not feel any dificulties, but when the researcher asked the students to make
another sentence as the model and the word given, some students got difficulties. They felt unconfident to say the sentence. The researcher then motivated them and
corrected the sentences that were wrong. She also explained why those sentences were wrong.

The researcher also assisted the students in doing the assessments given. The researcher checked whether the students did the assessment as the researcher
asked or not. Some students still got difficulties in doing the assessment related to spelling and using of word in a sentence. The problem occured because some of
them did not know how to write the word or sentence. In the teaching and learning process, the researcher and the students built a
good interaction. Some students showed their motivation by actively answering the questions from the researcher. They also asked questions to the researcher
when they did not understand things related to the topic. There was a good communication between the researcher and the students.
2 Learning Progress of Cycle 1
The learning progress that was reached by the students can be seen from their involvement during the teaching learning process, from the result of their
assessment, and from the result of pre-test. Some students were actively
answering the questions given by reseacher, even though a few of them were still passive in the class.
The result of the assessment also showed that their vocabulary mastery was quite improved.
To know whether there was an improvement on the students’ vocabulary mastery, the researcher analyzed the
result of the students’ Post-test and compared to the result of their pre-test.
