Having given the questionnaire and discussed the result with the students, it can be found that there are
some problems arising from the ERP activity. The first problem was about the rules on ERP group. From
the observation on the ERP group it can be found that there was still found some students who did not
understand about the rules on ERP group. It can be seen from the profile picture in which most of them
did not change their profile based on the character. Another shortage found from the ERP activity was
about the number of students who take a part on ERP group. Having observed the number of students who
take a part on ERP group, it can be found that only twenty students who sign himself on ERP group.
With regard to the number of students, the writer then discussed with the students, and it can be found
that they feel worried to take a part in it since some of them still not accustomed to behave and write like the
character they wish to play on ERP.
In this phase, the writer also discussed with students about the next activity which is conducted
collaboratively with different teachers from Alabama, USA. However, to make sure that the next activity
could encourage student to take a part so the writer had firstly discussed with Mrs. Dale about the plan
and strategy used for collaborative writing activity. And with regard to discussion with Mrs. Dale, the
writer informed the students and asked them to use change their profile picture and uses their real name.
1.5 Data Analysis in the Third Cycle
1. In this third cycle all the plan made by the
writer had been successfully conducted. Albeit there still found some shortages
found in its application he came up to the conclusion that the main objective in this
activity can be applied for intriguing students to write based on their own pace.
2. ERP group which is made by the teacher
seems to be useful to encourage students in writing. In this case, they are given the
opportunity to experience a free-writing activity.
3. From the questionnaire result, it can be
found that they believe that they can improve their writing if they participate
actively in the ERP group.
4. From the observation on ERP group, the
writer found that not all students took a part on ERP group. And having discussed
with several students who did not follow ERP group, arouse several
reasons regarding to this issue. The first was some
students were not accustomed so they were afraid for having discussion on ERP group.
Second was they were not confident and confused to write something related to the
character they wish to play on ERP group.
5. In this third cycle, they were able to write
and express their idea freely since the ERP group was intentionally made to facilitate
those who want to write something differently. However, there must be some
evaluation reflected to the fact that not all
students were brave to take a part on ERP group.
6. Related to some shortages found in this
third cycle, the writer plan to have another activity which can be used and followed by
the all students. He also tried to have a collaborative teaching with another English
teacher.
