Therefore, there are elements in CAR: 1. Research is an activity to improve an object by using an appropriate
method rules for getting data and information and then analyze to solve problem.
2. Acting is an activity that is done for certain purpose, in cycle sequence form activity.
3. Class is group of students when at the same time, receive same lesson from their teacher.

D. The Writer’s Role on the Study
The writer is as an observer in the classroom. She monitories the students in CAR and create a lesson plan and the evaluation or test before CAR pre-test
and after CAR post-test in each final cycle. Furthermore, the writer also accumulates and analyzes the data and then she reports the result of study.
E. Research Design
The writer use Kurt Lewin model as a reference research design in classroom action research. The four main concepts in this model are: planning,
acting, observing, reflecting. The relation of four components could be described as the following figure:

F. The CAR Procedures
Based on the research design above, there are four steps in each cycle: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. After, the writer, the teacher, and the
students accomplish cycle I, and then there might be found a new problem. Hence, it is essential to continued to the next or the second cycle with the same model of
the first cycle. Based on the result and practiced in the previous cycle, the writer and the teacher will follow the same phases. These are the following of the
explanation in every phase in CAR:
1. Planning Phase
In planning phase, after the writer and the teacher have been shared the information, she identifies and diagnoses students’ reading problem occurred
