2014. I also interviewed the English teacher of VII D on October 1
st
2014 and the students of VII D on October 1
st
2014.
a. Identification of the Field Problems
To identify the field problems of the English teaching and learning process in class VII D, the data were gathered through class observations, interviews, and
discussions. The class observation was conducted once. After observation was conducted in the class, I interviewed some students and then had discussions with
the English teacher. Based on the observations, interviews and discussions, I identified some
problems that occurred in the English teaching and learning process. The field problems occurred during the teaching and learning process can be seen in Table 2
below:

b. Weighing the Problems based on the Urgency Level
After identifying the field problems, the research members worked collaboratively to weigh the problems based on the urgency level. As stated in the
first chapter, I only focused to provide attractive media and to interest the students in speaking learning process. As the result, I limited and selected the problems
that related to those. Based on the discussion among the research members there were six urgent
problems. These problems were taken because they needed to be solved soon. The urgent problems were presented in the table below.
