Attached Appendix B, Course Grid 1 1 Using classroom English Classroom English was planned to be used during the teaching and learning process in order to accustom the students to English words. By using classroom English, the students were expected to have opportunities to speak English in the class. However, Indonesian translation was used in some difficult aspects such as in giving instructions and explaining materials. This consideration was based on the observation and interviews results. The students said that they did not understand when the teacher gave explanation with using English all the time. 2 Applying Numbered Heads Together strategy Numbered Heads Together strategy was applied to facilitate the students’ speaking practice in every cycle of this research. The strategy can encourage the students to express themselves and to interact with each other orally. The strategy can also develop the essential skills of cooperation and communication by giving them opportunities to work together. First, each student was given a handout about the learning material. The students read the handouts in order to understand the learning materials. The researcher also gave a brief explanation about the learning material to make them have better understanding. Then, the students were divided into 8 groups in which each group was consisted of 5 students. Each student was also given a number 1 - 5. After the students were already in their group, they worked together to answer questions and tasks given by the researcher. Each group should also ensure that each member of the group can know the answers. Then, a number was called. The students with the number from each group prepared the answers which had been discussed in their groups. They were expected to present their group answers in front of the class. The other groups gave feedback and suggested any opinion if they had different answers. The researcher also gave feedback and explanation to all groups’ answers were given. After that, conclusion was made. 3 Providing listening and interactive activities Some activities were provided in order to help the students understood the materials. A listening activity was given to make the students more aware of the pronunciation and the intonation of English words. The listening activity was given in the form of a piece of paper that contained with complete and incomplete dialogues. An interactive activity was also provided. The activity was in form of game. Game activity can help the students be more motivated and be interested to learning speaking.
