improvement has been achieved. I did the actions in two cycles with two meetings for each cycle. During the actions, he and the English teacher
observed the processes. 3.
Observation When the action was done, the English teacher and I observed the
impact of the technique used in the action. The observation was done to know the success of the action and the problems that occurred during the
implementation. Then, I wrote notes about everything that happened in the class during the action.
4. Reflection
Based on the observation in the action, the reflection was done by the English teacher and I. It was done by discussing the success of the action
during the implementation and evaluating the action. Evaluation was done after each cycle was completed. In this step, the English teacher and I
evaluated the problems occurred in the action and tried to find the solution of the problems so that the researcher could do better in the next cycle.
I also conducted interviews with the students and the English teacher to know
their opinions and feelings after the action.
E. Data Instruments of the Research
The main instrument was the researcher himself because I undertook the planning, the action, the observation, reflection, and then made the report.
Besides, the researcher used interview guidelines, the pre-test and the post-test,

and some photographs taken by the collaborator as the other instruments to collect the data.
F. Data Collection Techniques
The data were collected in the form of qualitative data which were supported by quantitative data. It meant that the data were the description of
the reality happening during the research and the result of the test. In gaining the data, the researcher used some data collection techniques as follows:
1. Observation
Stake 2010: 90 states that observation can allow the researcher to get the information which can be seen, heard, or felt directly. By doing
observation, I had an opportunity to understand the situation that happened during the teaching and learning process, to see things that might be
unconsciously missed, and to discover things that might not be obtained in interview situation. I observed the condition of the teaching and learning
process, the students’ behavior, and other problems that appeared when the action was implemented by using observation guidelines and observation
checklists. I also wrote everything so that he could keep the information in the form of field notes.
2. Interview
In gathering the data, he conducted some interviews to the English teacher and the students. Stake 2010: 95 argues that interview enables the
researcher to obtain the unique information or interpretation from many
