both knowledge and pleasure. Moreover, they could practise their skill in speaking. Some of them also stated that it made them challenged when doing
speaking performance. Regarding the finding of Cycle II that all actions were successful in
increas ing the students’ involvement and enthusiasm especially in speaking and
the objectives of the research were achieved, I and the collaborator agreed to end this research in this cycle.
C. General Findings
This subchapter presents the research findings of all actions that had been done in the research. The findings could be inferred from the observation of the
teaching and learning process, interviews with the students and interviews with the teacher of English. As stated before, the research aimed at increas
ing students’ interest, enthusiasm, and involvement especially in speaking in VII D class of
SMPN 1 Kebonagung Pacitan through Animation Movies. In the first cycle, the main action was providing interesting media in
speaking learning process. The media was animation movies that is used as input text. It was succesful to increase students’ interest toward speaking. The students
enjoyed the learning process and they feel relax and it made them not boring during the learning process. The students were not only watched the movies but
also imitated the pronunciation of some words. Besides, making group name with famous cartoon characters, and giving rewards were really successful to increase
students’ enthusiasm and involvement. In the group discussion the students had opportunity to share and exchange information. They were not only doing best for
themselves but also helping their friends understand. In addition, the use of interesting activity was effective in arous
ing students’ creativity and avoiding boredom. The students enjoyed the speaking performance and it made them more
interest toward speaking. However, there were some problems which occurred in implementing the
actions related to classroom management, and students’ participation. Therefore I
tried to solve those problems so that in Cy cle 2 the students’ involvement,
interest, and enthusiasm could be improved successfully. The following are comparison between actions in Cycle I and Cycle II.

Before the implementation of the actions, the teaching and learning process was less interesting and less attractive. The activities did not interest the students
to be active to take part in the teaching and learning process. After the actions were implemented, the teaching-learning process became
more interesting and more attractive. The students were actively involved during the teaching-learning process. In group discussion, they helped each others to
reach group goal. Each individual had contribution to the success of a group so that heshe paid attention from the beginning till the end of the teaching and
learning process. Heshe also did the tasks seriously.
Besides that, the use of animation movies increase the students’ interest
toward speaking material. The students got not only knowledge but also pleasure when they watched the movies. They did not get bored easily because the
