it helped the students in improving their pronunciation to be more accurate. The ways of giving feedbacks were also similar with the one in Cycle I. The
pronunciation feedbacks would be given after the students conducted their performances, so that they would not feel ashamed when I corrected their
pronunciation. As found in Cycle
I, the students‟ pronunciations were still poor. They were very enthusiastic about knowing the correct pronunciation of some words.
Thus, I planned to keep giving feedbacks on the students‟ pronunciation to
improve their ability to pronounce new words so that they did not make the same mistakes in the next activities.
f. Asking the students to work in groups
Considering that the students became more active when they were asked to work in groups or pairs. I would keep asking them to work in groups or pairs. I
planned to make groups or pair activities in every meeting during Cycle II.
g. Giving rewards
Following up the student s‟ comments related to the prize if they won the
game. I thought that it could be right. Generally, a game was a competition to be a winner for achieving rewards. So, in this Cycle there would be prizes as rewards
for the winner of the game. Hopefully, it could boost the students‟ motivation and
encourage the students to be more active in the teaching and learning process.
2. Actions and Observation in Cycle II
Cycle II consisted of 3 meetings. The actions were carried on November 8
th
, 15
th

and 23
rd
2014 by applying Bingo Game.
The students learnt two topics about
description text during Cycle II. They were Tourism place and Historical places
. The teaching and learning process in Cycle II would be discussed in the description
below.
a. Applying Bingo Game to teach vocabulary
As I planned before, I tried to change the topic of the game. It was aimed to enrich the
students‟ knowledge and vocabulary. I also planned to give clear examples of pronouncing the words possibly used in the game to make the
students get an ease while playing the game. The last I planned to manage the time allocation better by using alarm. So when the time was up the alarm would
ring and the game would be over. The rules of the game were similar as implemented in Cycle I but I made a bit change to the rules. The students
provided the words by themselves related to the topic and filled it on their Bingo board. To refresh the situation, the students were sitting in their desk-mates and
for group work and game; they still placed on the previous group. There was no difference in grouping for the next Cycle. It aimed to make the time efficient and
they retained the chemistry with previous group. They were enjoyed to stay in previous group
In the first meeting, the topic was about tourism places. It was the same with one of the topic in the Cycle I. I asked the students to find 25 words related
to the tourism place and filled it on their Bingo board. Then I would ask one group to another to say their words and the meaning. The other group tried to
match the words whether it was on their list or not. If the other groups have the same word with the first group so it will be marked by using cross or circle. It was
