C. Writer’s Role on the Research
In this research, the writer’s role as a teacher who makes lesson plan maker and the assessment or test before CAR pre-test and after CAR post-test
in each final cycle, and the English teacher’s role as observer who observes teaching-
learning situation, student and teacher’s performance during teaching- learning process. Afterwards, the writer also collects and analyzes data with
English teacher.
D. Place of the Research
The place is MTs Jam’iyyatul Khair Ciputat, academic year 20102011. It is located at Jalan WR. Supratman Cempaka Putih, Ciputat.
E. Research Design
The CAR procedure used in this research is Kurt L ewin’s design. Kurt
Lewin is one of the first researchers to use the term action research in the 1930s. He designs action research into two cycles in which each cycle contains four
phases; planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Here is the scheme of Kurt
Lewin’s design.

F. The CAR Procedures
Based on scheme above, the researcher decides to use two cycles in her action research, each cycle consists of four phases. Those are planning, acting,
observing, and reflecting. The research will be probably found a new problem or the previous unfinished problems yet. Therefore, it is necessary to continued to
the second cycle in line with the same concept of the first cycle. Here are the explanations of its phases.
1. CYCLE I Planning
After identifying the students’ problem, planning phase is the writer’s first step in CAR. In planning phase, she makes the lesson plan based on the syllabus,
chooses the topic based on syllabus, reviewing related literature, and then determines appropriate teaching aids to support the using of total physical
response activities. The w riter also makes the evaluation to know students’
achievement at the end of cycle, and then prepares the instrument to notice all activities in the classroom. In this cycle, the writer decides to choose three
meetings.
Acting
In the acting phase, the writer implies the planning that is made by her. The writer gives material based on the lesson plan that has been made. Later, the
writes begin the research process more deeply based on her lesson plan. The teacher presents the topic that will be learned by using TPR.
The writer decides to take the action phase during two weeks. To know the step of this research, the researcher makes the schedule of research as follows:
