B. Identification of the Most Urgent and Feasible Problems
After identifying the problems occurring during the teaching and learning process of reading at grade X IIS 1 SMA 1 Kasihan, the researcher weighed the
problems based on their urgency level. Out of ten problems identified based on the results of the observation and interviews, the researcher needed to narrow them down
into problems which were considered urgent. Those problems needed to be solved sooner than the rest since comprehension breakdown might occur if they were not
solved. Table 4 below presents the urgent problems mentioned previously.

After the classification of the most urgent problems had been done, the researcher needed to determine which problems were feasible to be solved.
Considering the researcher’ limited time and limited knowledge, as well fund and energy, she had to select which problems were most likely to be solved. Among the
five urgent problems, the researcher selected problems which were possible to be
solved using one technique, which contained one set of actions. The following table shows the feasible problems to be solved.
