process in order that accurate and reliable data were obtained. In this study, triangulation was performed by examining different forms of data and relating
them simultaneously in order to increase more objective results. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS RESULTS
This chapter presents the study results derived from the collections of data obtained throughout the research period. The first section of the chapter presents
the findings obtained prior to the action cycles commencement, which provides a basis for the discussions of the first research question: Is differentiated instruction
incorporated in the action taken to solve the problems in an English speaking class of mixed-competence learners? Meanwhile the second section will provide the
empirical data and analysis serving as a response to the second research question: how effective was
the action
in developing learners’ speaking skills as well as
promoting learner’s collaboration skill?
A. INCORPORATION OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION INTO
THE TAKEN ACTION
Responding to the research question regarding whether differentiated instruction was incorporated in the action taken to solve the problems in an
English speaking class of mixed-competence learners, this section argues that the key
factor contributing to the success of this action research is participants’ empowerment in the attempt of improving the problematic situations in their
study environment. As it was outlined in the literature review, action research serves as a democratic, emancipatory, empowering, and life-enhancing research
method that involves reflective actions in the purpose of overcoming problematic PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
