1. Steps of Action Research
McNiff: 22
1. Planning
In this step, the researcher shares ideas with the collaborators in order to discuss the lesson plan, material, media, time, schedule, and
instrument for observation. The topic of reading in the lesson plan is based on the syllabus in the curriculum. The reading materials that the researcher
uses are descriptive and recount text because those are the text types that are taught in the eight grade of junior high school the first semester. The
researcher uses video shooting and camera to record all proven activities in the class. By this way, the comparison actually can be analyzed.
Photographs, field notes, interview question sheet were also necesarry to support in observation.

2. Doing implementing
The process of teaching using learning cell technique begins. a.
Before the implementing time, the researcher teach the students how to write good questions.
b. The researcher selects a text at the appropriate reading level.
c. Ask students to individually develop a list of questions and answers
dealing with the major points raised in a reading or other learning assignment.
d. Form students pairs, or simply ask students to partner with a student
sitting nearby. e.
Explaine the process by which you wanted partners to alternate asking and answering each other’s questions.
f. Students A begins by asking the first question, and the student B
answer the question. Student A offers corrections nd additional information until a satisfactory is achieved.
g. Students B asks the next question and student A answer, and the
process repeats untill all the qustions have been asked and answered.
3. Observing
In this step, the writer as the practitioner implemented learning cell technique in the teaching and learning process, and the English teachers as
the collaborators observed students’ understanding, participation, and activities in the teaching-learning process. Observation was one of the

techniques which was used in collecting the data. The result of the observation was recorded on observation sheet as the data.
