from the pile. Then one card was opened from the pile. After that, the other students could throw the cards that had the same sign. Before the students threw the cards, they had to make a sentence using past continuous tense based on the picture on the card. The student who had the biggest number on the card might lead the game. In the end, the student who could finish his or her cards first was the winner of the game. For the production session, the researcher asked the students to interview all of their friends in the classroom. They had to walk around the class and asked their friends about their friends’ activities in certain time yesterday. After they finished with the interview activity, the students had to give report in the form of writing and speaking. Based on the observation that the researcher did during the teaching and learning process, it was shown that the students’ vocabulary had been improved even though not quite many but at least they did not ask the researcher to translate the words again as they usually did in the previous meetings. Although some students were still a bit lazy to do the writing exercises but this time they did it without complain. They also walked around the class to interview the other friends which was one of the things that they did not like to do, moving from their seat. When the students doing the practice activity using non-projected visual media, they looked very motivated to learn English. Sometimes they said the wrong words but the other friends would be quickly giving respond and some corrections to their friends’ mistakes. It could be seen that they helped each other in improving their speaking skill.

The pictures that the researcher used for the presentation was the same pictures that the researcher used in the previous meetings. The researcher thought that by using the same pictures then it would make the students more familiar with the vocabulary. The researcher used the picture about situation in the classroom, the restaurant, and the kitchen. It could be seen that the students were easier to answer the teacher’s questions if the same pictures were used. The hand out that was used in this meeting was quite simple. Inside the hand out, the researcher put the rules of the tense. Besides the rules, the researcher also put some dialogs in the first section. The function of the dialogs was to give example to the students about how to apply the tense in the daily conversation. There were also some written exercises on it that the students could do individually or in group. Figure 4.8 Past Continuous Hand Out
