F. The Classroom Action Research CAR Procedures
The Kurt Lewin’s design of Classroom Action Research CAR consists of four phases in each cycle. There are planning, acting, observing and reflecting.
After completing the cycle 1, the writer and the teacher still find many problems which are usually coming from the previous problem unfinished yet, and also the
new problems that emerge upon the new treatment; so, it is necessary to the writer and the teacher to continue to the second cycle that has the same concept as the
first cycle. Here is explanation more detail about the phases in each cycle as follows:
a. Planning Phase
In this phase, the writer and the teacher are together make a lesson plan that still in line with the syllabus but then it is appropriated
with an action to implementing the pattern drill in teaching the past form of Present Continuous tense. Besides making the lesson plan, the
writer also prepared the research instruments, including the post-test and also the observation sheet.
b. Acting Phase
After preparing the lesson plans, here the writer and the teacher are implementing them in this phase. The action of the cycle 1 was
done on April 18
th
and 19
th
2012; the teacher applied the strategy that has been designed and the writer observed the activities during the
teaching learning activity. This phase is taking place in three weeks within two cycles. In each cycle consists of three meetings in action.
c. Observing Phase
In this phase, the writer observes all activities occurred in the classroom, including the teacher’s performance, the situation of the
class, and the students’ response toward the implementation of the
action. He takes a note and uses unstructured observation sheet to get the data.

d. Reflecting Phase
The object of this phase is to see the impact of all actions that have been done in the previous phases. In this phase also, the writer and
the teacher collaboratively evaluate the results which are coming from the data that have been collected through the observation, and then
decide whether they will continue to the next cycle or not by considering if there still found any problem; if there is, so it is
necessary to move to the next cycle.
G . Instrument of the Research
The research instruments that are used for this study inspirited by experimental design are a observation, b documentation, and c evaluation or
test. Observation is used to observe the teaching learning process conducted by
the English teacher in the classroom including English teacher’s activity, the book used by English teacher and students, problem faced by English teacher in
teaching the passive form of Present Continuous T ense, teacher’s performance
including their methods and the evaluation used by the English teacher. Documentation is used to complete the data such as the teaching
preparations made by the English teacher, and the kinds of media were used by the English teacher in teaching learning activity. It is carried out by copying the
teacher’s documentations of the teaching preparations and kinds of media were applied in teaching and learning activities.
Test is used to know how well the students have already mastered the passive form of Present Continuous Tense and it is also to prove the significances
of using pattern drill.
