other groups. They also did not pay attention to their task. And then they just chatted one another without shared about the text. Next, they gave up
if they found unfamiliar words. Then, the teacher only paid attention for some groups not all groups. Therefore, they could not finish their task on
time and could not cooperate well. Moreover, there were found some students who shared with their
group in discussing the text and answering the teacher’s questions correctly related to the schematic structures and language features based
on the text. In the second action of the first cycle, the students seemed more enthusiastic and focus to comprehend the text with their group.
