1. Benefits for teachers: a. Teachers have self correction to improve their quality of teaching in
classroom. b. Improve teachers‘ self-confidence because they have solved problems
by doing such action. c. Teacher can work professionally.
d. Help teachers to identify problems and issues systematically 2. Benefits for the students:
a. Students‘ skill can be improved. b. They have a good model from their teacher.
3. Benefits for the school: a. Developing curriculum;
b. Improving research tradition among teachers, so it can influence school‗s development.
At the end of this research, I hope it can give some beneficial not only for teacher and students but also for the school.
2.3 Theoretical Framework
As a matter of fact, most students have already judged that English is the difficult subject to learn. It influences students
‘ desire and motivation in learning English in order to improve their ability. It is totally wrong mind set, indeed. Our
challenge as a teacher is to change their mind set about English language. In this study, I want to change their point of view in learning English. In fact, it is not as
difficult as they think, yet it is easy, fun, and interesting to be learned if they want to try to love English. The first way which must be taken is change their mind and
point of view, little by little and persuade them that they can master English well if they believe in themselves.
Another way is by increasing their motivation in the learning process. I will use the combination of story sequencing cards or we also called it jumbled
pictures and round table technique cooperative learning to improve students ‘
achievement in writing narrative text. Story sequencing cards help students in giving clues about sequenced events which happen in the story. It also helps them
to write in well-organize and meaningful writing product. I also use round table technique to help students to learn English in different and interesting way.
Creating new atmosphere in learning English and responsibilities for their group can be done in one action. I
t grows students‘ responsibilities. Moreover, the learning process will be more pleased and interesting for the students. In this
study, I use Kemmis and M cTaggart‗s action research model. The theoretical
framework of my study is drawn below. I illustrate it by using a diagram. The diagram is presentedin the next page:

CHAPTER III METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
This chapter deals with research methodologies which consists of the research design, research procedure, the subject of the study, role of researcher, technique
of data collection, instruments of the research, procedure of the data collection, the method of data analysis.
3.1 Research Design
Research design is how the researcher conducted the research. This study was an action research which concerned with the implementation of combination of story
sequencing cards and round table technique. Based on Wallace 1998:13 action research is kind of research which is done systematically in collecting the data on
the lesson plan and analyzing it in order to come to some decisions about what the future should be. As mention in Elliot 1998:49 that the fundamental aid of action
research is to improve practice rather than to produce knowledge, so that, in this research, it has purpose to improve students‘ writing skill in narrative texts.
Kemmis and McTaggart in Nunan 1992: 18 make statement that: Action research is a piece of descriptive research carried out by a teacher
in his or her own classroom, without the involvement of others, which is aimed at increasing our understanding rather than changing the
phenomenon under investigation. The essential impetus for carrying out action research is to change the system.
