I. Research Procedure
To conduct this action research, I used the model of Kemmis and McTaggart 1988 in Burns 2010:9, with some modifications. This study
consists of four steps in each cycle: reconnaissance, planning, action and observation, and reflection. The action research model can be seen below:

1 Reconnaissance
As has been mentioned before, I carried out the research collaboratively with the English teacher as the collaborator in the school. In this step, I found out
the information concerning the students‟ vocabulary skills. I observed the English teaching and learning process. Besides, I interviewed the collaborator and the
students to identify the existing problem on the students‟ vocabulary skills. Based on the observations, the questionnaire, the interviews, and the
discussions, the existing problems were classified. They are problems related to
the teaching techniques of the teacher, the activities of the teaching and learning process; and the material given during the teaching and learning process.
2 Planning
A planning was done after identifying and diagnosi ng students‟ vocabulary
problem occurred in the class proven by observing, questionnaire, and interviewing. In this step, the plans to be implemented are prepared. I will prepare
the instruments such as creating the Bingo board, choosing materials, giving handout for the students and tasks.
3 Action and observations
In this step, I implemented the actions whereas the teacher as a collaborator took notes in the backside of the class to observe the students‟
reactions and behaviors during the activities. The step begins the process of going more deeply into the issue being researched. It takes a month within two cycles in
which each cycle consists of two meetings and one meeting to give posttest.
4 Reflection
This stage is aimed to reflect and evaluate from three steps before, it is done based on data that have been collected to hold evaluation for completing the
next cycle. Thus, the reflection is able to be determined after implementing action and observation outcomes. If there still might have found some problems, it needs
to move to the next cycle until it solved.
