researcher found out whether the classroom action research which was conducted could increase students’ speaking fluency or not. After the researcher found the
appropriate technique to increase students’ fluency level, to verify the findings the researcher ran the verification cycle and gave questionnaire to the students. In this
questionnaire the students answered the questions about the teaching-learning experiences using the particular technique.
D. Data Analysis Technique
The data about students’ speaking fluency was gained from the students’ performance which had been matched with the description of ACTFL proficiency
guidelines. From the guidelines the researcher was able to find out the students’ speaking fluency level. To know whether the students increased their speaking
fluency level or not, the researcher analyzed their performance and their score in the speaking fluency rubrics. If the score showed the improvement, it can be
concluded that the students increased their speaking fluency. The appropriate activity could be decided when students’ speaking fluency level was increased.
The increase of the students’ speaking fluency level could be seen in the speaking fluency rubric.
E. Research Procedure
First of all, the researcher observed the teaching-learning activities and then identified the problem that occurred in the classroom. After that, the
researcher decided the materials and made a lesson plan as well as selected the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
first teaching technique. After revising overall plan, the researcher applied the lesson plan and the technique in the classroom. Then, the researcher monitored
and recorded the finding, as well as analyzed the students’ performance. If the finding and the students’ performance fulfilled the criteria and showed the
improvement of students’ speaking fluency, the researcher stopped the cycle. Meanwhile, if the finding and the students’ performance did not fulfill the criteria,
the researcher decided the new teaching materials and made a new lesson plan with another teaching technique until the criteria are fulfilled and the finding of
the research showed the improvement of students’ speaking fluency. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter discusses the findings of the research. The research findings are described in the Classroom Action Research procedure through the cycles of
the research.
A. The Research Findings and Discussion
This part discusses the fact-findings of the Classroom Action Research which was conducted to the second grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Maos. There
were three cycles in this research. Each cycle describes the steps of research procedure which were begun by identifying the problem, making a lesson plan
and selecting the technique, applying the technique, monitoring and noticing the fact-findings.
1. The First Cycle
The first cycle of the research describes the beginning process of the Classroom Action Research, including the finding about the problems which
occur in the classroom, the finding about the students’ speaking fluency level and the first reflection on the overall process in the cycle.
a. Problem Identification
Before implementing the first teaching technique, the researcher did an observation by gaining data from the classroom teacher. The researcher obtained
the data about the characteristics of the second grade students at SMA Negeri 1
