lx and the post-test. Document of the teacher is in the form of the teacher diary.
Document of the collaborator is in the form of field note.
F. Technique of Analyzing Data
The classroom action research would be successful if there is an improvement of students‘ speaking ability in learning English. One of the
indicators of the improvement is the increase of speaking scores. In this case, before applying the action, the writer would give the students a pre-test to know
the students‘ knowledge about the teaching material that will be taught. At the end of the lessons, the writer will give them a post-test in order to know whether
teaching English using project based activity is able to improve the students‘
speaking ability. The speaking scores as the result of a pre-test and a post-test will be
analyzed with non-independent t-test. It is used to analyze the difference before and after the action in each cycle. Another type of data is in the form of non-
numerical data. This type of data will be analyzed in several stages. The quantitative data will be analyzed by using descriptive statistic
including the lowest and the highest score and the mean. The result of the test will be analyzed using non-independent t-test. It is to
analyze the result of teaching and learning process and to know the difference before and after the cycle. The formula is quantitatively stated as follows:

The qualitative data will be analyzed by Using Constant Comparative Method as suggested by Strauss and Glasser in Lincoln and Guba 1985: 339. The
process includes the following steps: 1. Comparing incidents applicable to each category
In this stage, the researcher starts with making the code of every incident in her data from the observation and questionnaire.
2. Integrating categories and their properties In this stage the researcher compares the data which are taken during the
observation and from the questionnaire. It is followed by finding the relationship between them.
3. Delimiting the theory In this stage, the researcher constructs the theory based on the result of the
previous stages. 4. Writing the theory
The researcher arranges the research findings based on the result of the previous stages.
