3. Implementation or Actions

In this step, the plans of action approved by the researcher and the team members were implemented in the classroom. The English teacher and a collaborator observed the interaction between the teacher and the students in the time of implementation of the actions.

4. Evaluation and Reflection

Some notes about interaction were made through observation. Besides, the results of the actions by interviewing the students‟, the collaborator‟s and the English teacher‟s feelings, opinion, and suggestion about the implementation also were made. The research members evaluated and analyzed the effects, obstacles, difficulties, and other possibilities in implementing the action. If the action was considered as to be successful or achieved as a positive result, then it would be recorded as one of the alternative effort to improve classroom interaction in English teaching-learning process. Next, other actions in the same cycle were prepared. When classroom interaction was regarded to be better, then the action cycle would be stopped. 49

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS

A. Research Findings

1. Reconnaissance

a. The Identification of the Field Problems

The identification of the problems was important in this study. It helped the researcher getting accurate data needed for this study. In identification the problems, the researcher focused on some elements of teaching. They were students, teachers, materials, and media. Those elements of teaching, of course, became the main factors determining the success of English teaching and learning. In the teaching and learning process, those elements required to be developed because the problems both hard and simple problems were determined and influenced by those elements of teaching. In line with the research conducted, to know the problems faced by those elements of teaching, the researcher used some instruments of the research. They were observation and interview. Those instruments were the effective ways to collect the data about the problems in the teaching and learning English. In the observation, the researcher observed the teacher‟s activities in the teaching of English, while the interview was used to know the problems in the English teaching and learning process.
