meetings. The actions were implemented on 27, 30 April, 4, and 7 May 2016.
The researcher was helped by a collaborator that is the English teacher. She would observe and give feedback, comments, or suggestions
during the implementation of the actions in Cycle II. The researcher also was helped by a friend who helped her to record the
students’ performance and took photographs during the teaching and learning
process. The detail of implemented actions in Cycle II is presented below.
a. Implementing the video recording project
The researcher used “Annual School Play” activity in making the video project. It was adjusted with the ongoing topic that is
narrative short stories. Before the implementation of the video recording project in the last meeting in Cycle II, the researcher
carried out some pre-activities such as pronunciation drills, vocabulary practices, outside classroom activity, and other actions
listed in the actions plan to support the students’ speaking skill
achievement. Compared to Cycle I , the students’ active involvement
in these pre-activities was significantly improved. They were confident to answer the
researcher’s questions in English, though the answers were not complete sentences. During the implementation of
pre-activities, the students got bigger opportunities in speaking practices before they had video recording project making. It
influenced their speaking fluency during the performance. Their
confidence in showing their performance in front of the class improved.
Based on the schedule of the actions implemented in Cycle II, the students had done the video recording project in the last meeting
of the cycle. It was conducted on May 7
th
, 2016. Below are the steps to conduct video project making.
Video recording project: Annual School Play
1 The students work in small groups of 5-6. 2 The students make their own narrative story.
3 The students ask the teacher when they have problems related to the script-making.
4 The students perform their narrative story in front of the class. They act like they are involved in a big annual school play.
5 When the students are performing in front of the class, somebody would take their video.
In order to make the performance fair for all the students, the researcher gave them lottery in the beginning of the meeting. Soon
after that, the researcher gave clear instructions in conducting the video project making. The instruction before conducting video
recording project can be seen in the Field Note below. The researcher and a friend arrived at school at 10.00 a.m.
Since the class started at 10.15. They had to wait for about 15 minutes. Some students asked,
“Miss, nanti majunya urutan kelompok atau gimana
?” “No, I will give you lottery, so it will be just fair for all the performers”
