Researcher : Oke. Terus menurutmu jumbled-word game tu bisa bantu kamu
nggak sih untuk nyusun kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris? Okay. In
your opinion, do you think jumbled-word game could help you to construct English sentence?
Venezuela : Bisa. Yes, it does.
Europe : Bantu banget, miss. Dan itu pasti berguna buat kedepannya juga.
Yes, it did help me a lot. It would also be useful in the future. Mexico
: Iya, miss. Sure Hungary
: Menurutku sangat bisa karena disitu kan kita bakal nentuin ini abis subject terus apa, abis verb terus apa, kayak gitu. Jadi sangat
membantu banget itu. I think it did help me because we would
determine what should be put after subject or verb. So, it really helped me.

sentences after the implementation of jumbled-word game. Researcher

Researcher : Sebelumnya kamu dah pernah dapet jumbled-word game belum?
Had you ever got jumbled-word game before? Europe
: Pernah di SMP dulu, but give up. Yes, I had. It was in Junior High School, but I gave up.
Researcher : Give up? Kenapa? Why did you give up at that time?
Europe : Di Ujian Nasional itu ada soal jumbled-words, dan aku paling
nggak suka soal yang pake jumbled-words. Karna itu udah kata- katanya banyak, acak, semua harus disusun dengan kurun waktu
yang ditentukan. Sedangkan aku belum tau structure yang dipakai yang sesuai tu yang kayak gimana. Jadinya sulit. Tapi kemarin
miss ngajarin pake jumbled-word game itu, aku baru paham pas sama miss itu. Serius aku baru paham kemarin itu miss. Owalah
baru diajarin kemarin itu aku baru paham
. There was jumbled word question in National Exam, and I really didn‟t like that kind
of question. There were many words in wrong order, and all of them should be arranged in a short time. Whereas, I didn‟t know
which tenses that should be used yet. So, it was difficult. However, when you taught us using jumbled-word game, I got the idea of
jumbled-word game at that time.
Interview transcript, see Appendix G. From the results above, it could be concluded that the jumbled-word game given
by the researcher could bring new comprehension for the students. In the implementation, the researcher used different media in both cycles.
In first cycle the researcher used worksheet as the media, while in second cycle the researcher used small papers as the media. All students thought that using
small papers as the media was more interesting than the other one. Among four students, there was one student who gave a complete answer toward the researcher
question. Researcher
: Okay, nah kemarin kan yang pertama miss pakai jumbled- wordsnya cuma di lembar kerja dan yang kedua kan pake di
potongan kertas kecil. Menurutmu yang lebih membantu yang mana? Pertama atau kedua?
Okay. I put jumbled-word game on the worksheet at the first time, but I changed it into small papers in
the next meeting. In your opinion, which one do you prefer? Europe
: Jujur, yang kedua. Karena itu kan dipotongnya kan per kata, jadi aku lebih tau misalnya ada subjek nama, you, atau I itu tau
