3.5.1 Preliminary Observation
Before the observation, I asked the teacher how he taught students in speaking. He told me that he only used text book as the source, then explained them the
material from the book, and asked students to deliver their speaking. Therefore, I taught them like what he did, but I used some pictures to motivate them in the
learning process. I recorded my teaching in order to analyze it. Then, the result of preliminary observation was used to determine how the treatment would be given.
3.5.2 Pre-Test
I conducted the pre-test at the first meeting. I gave pre-test in order to know the students‘ speaking ability before giving them the treatment. The instrument used
for pre-test consists of sequences pictures of Cinderella. The students were asked to do retelling story based on the pictures in front of class. The aim was to check
the students speaking ability in retelling story.
3.5.3 Cycle 1
I conducted Cycle 1 in second and third meeting. In this cycle, the procedures were: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. In this cycle, the evaluation was
taken from the students. It was formative test. I used observation checklist to ob
serve the students‘ learning behavior during the teaching learning process.
3.5.4 Cycle 2
In cycle 2, the students did the same activities as in the cycle 1. However, different story was used and I added some speaking activities. The students were
expected to be more motivated in learning speaking English trough retelling a story.
The activities during the teaching learning process were presented on the table below.
