a. Identifying the problems
The problems are identified first before planning the action. The problems refer to the factors making the low listening proficiency improvement of the
students and the passive behavior during the teaching learning process. The problems are identified by using two techniques as follows:
1 Using test The pre-test is given to know the students’ proficiency of English listening.
2 Observation The observation is held in order to know the students’ behavior during the
teaching and listening process to know the model of class management and students’ listening proficiency and learning motivation.
b. Planning the Action
General plan is made before implementing the action. The writer prepares everything related to the action as follows:
a Making a lesson-plan and designing the steps in doing the action. b Preparing listening materials using audio visual aids in Power Point
c Preparing exercises, pre-test, and post-test to know students’ listening proficiency
d Preparing an audio video recorder to record the teaching learning process
c. Implementing the Action
li
The writer implements the action by using Power Point to improve learning
motivation and listening proficiency.
d. Observing Monitoring the Action
The writer was assisted by an observer, who is also an English teacher of SMA I Girimarto to observe all activities during the teaching learning process in
a field note.
e. Reflecting the Result of the Observation
The observer and the writer made an evaluation on the observation result to find out the positive results and weaknesses during the action.
f. Revising the Plan
Based on the weaknesses which were found in the reflecting process, the observer and the writer revised the action plan for the next cycle.
This research was conducted in three cycles. Each cycle used Power Point to present listening proficiency. The pre-test was held at the beginning of the cycle to
measure students’ listening proficiency before the action and the post-test was held
at the end of the cycle to measure students’ listening proficiency after the action.
