The schedule of the research can be seen in the table as follows:
Table 3.1 Schedule of The Research
Kemmis and Mc Taggart quoted by Burns 2010:8 defines that in classroom action research there are four components consist of planning, acting, observing, and
reflecting. The design of this research is presented in the figure 2.1. The explanation about the design is presented as follows:
3.1.1 Planning
The first phase was planning. This phase included problem and situation analysis and also preparationof the instrument to collect data.
The activities were:
1

make the instructional documents based on the syllabus of the 10
th
grade of the vocational school,
3
arrange the activities guidelines to do three steps interview techniques in English learning process,
4
arrange the evaluation program, and
5
prepare the instruments to collect the data needed in this research.
3.1.2 Acting
In this step, Three Steps Interview techniques was applied. This phase was the implementation of the plan that the researcher had made to solve the problems. The
action was done by the following steps as follows: 1
teacher explained the materials, 2
teacher explained about the three steps interview techniques, 3
students did the three interview techniques as follows: 1.
the students made a group consists of 4 persons; 2.
each person be labelled as A, B, C, and D; 3.
teacher gave the topic to the students; 4.
students were in pairs, one was the interviewer and the other was the interviewee.
5. student A interviewed student B. Student C interviewed student D;
6. students reversed roles; and
7. each shared with team member what was learned during the two interviews.
3.1.3 Observing
The teacher observed the students’ activities during teaching and learning process. This step included monitoring and evaluating the action. The researcher used
observation check list, observation list, and also questionnaire to observe the implemetation on Three Steps Interview Technique. The results of the observation
were used as the indicator to assess the students’ progress of speaking skill in each
cycle. The activities in this phase were: 1
observing the activities as the implementation of three steps interview technique in teaching and learning process,
2 taking note and taking some documentations,
3 evaluating student’s result after each cycle, and
4 asking students to answer the questionnaire.
3.1.4 Reflecting
