E. The researcher’s role on the Study
In this research, the researcher acts as teacher, planner, executor, and reporter. The position of the researcher is the main executor. The researcher
making planning, doing the action planning, making test before CAR Pre-test and after CAR post-test in each final cycle, observing, collecting and analyzing
the data and reporting the result of the research. Besides, the researcher is helped by the English teacher and she acts as observer.
F. The Research Design
This action research would be carried out through two cycles. Each cycle was consisted three meetings. Both cycles consisted of teaching and learning
process and tests. Before conducting the teaching and learning activity, the researcher gave a pre-test, and post-test was given at the last of each cycle.
In order to be clear, the researcher would like to present the Kurt Lewin’s action research design. It contains four phases: planning, acting, observing and
reflecting.

Cycle 1
Cycle 2
The teacher makes the lesson plan She Chooses the appropriate material and interesting
topic She prepares the form of observation
She prepares the form of evaluation and post-test I
The teacher conducts the lesson plan She teaches the simple command,
positive and negative imperative She asks the students to perform the
dialogue in a pair.
The teacher observes the students’ activity, pronunciation and response, the class condition and
situation. Then she writes other additional information on the field note
She gives a post-test after conducting the last cycle The teacher and the observer
discuss collaboratively about students’ achievement and the result
of acting phase The teacher and observer evaluate
the teaching and learning process She revises the action planning
The teacher and the observer revise the lesson plan, reselect the material and topic
The teacher prepares the form of observation Prepares the form of evaluation and post-test II
The teacher conducts the new lesson plan, she teaches a new material about the polite
imperative by using please and suggestion by using let’s.
The teacher observes the students’ activity and class situation, she also rewrite other
information on the field note She gives the post-test II after the final
cycle II The teacher and the observer discuss
the result of the cycle II, if it is achieve the criteria of action
success, the next cycle is stopped
