collecting techniques. We could also identify relationship or connection between different sources of data.
From the scores of the tests, the researcher could compare the results of each test to see the improvements that
the students had reached. 4.
Building interpretation In this stage, creative thinking was demanded because it
is related with articulating underlying concepts and developing theories about everything that emerge during the research. We
might need to look back to the data or discussing with partners for several times to complete this stage.
From the interviews with the students, the researcher found that there were some of the students who were originally
interested in improving their speaking ability. However, the rest of them seemed to be not interested or motivated to
improve it. After the actions were implemented, in the middle of it, the researcher found that the interested students would
gain better results than their fellow classmates who were not interested.
5. Reporting the outcomes
It involved presenting the outcome of the research to others. In reporting the outcome, the major consideration was
to make sure that the report represented the major process of
the research, and the findings or outcomes were supported by examples from the data.
The report of this research was arranged systematically. It was also supported by examples from the data that had been
collected and analysed. For the qualitative data, the data from the test were analysed by
calculating the means, median, modes and standard deviations of speaking performance. The formula was;
M = Mean f = frequency ∑fx = total score x = Total score
∑ = Sum of the score N = Number of students It was also analysed by using percentage method such as follows;
P = Percentage
f = frequency of answer
N = total participants
100 = fixed number
To compare the pre-test and post-tests scores in order to see the improvement, the researcher used SPSS 16.0. The data were analysed
using Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance. They were given a test prior to score their speaking ability before the action the pre-test. They
P = fN x 100
