h. Organizing the class into free speaking activities but students still gave such rules how they could speak a lot with all friends in the class.
i. Preparing some teaching facilities, such as “High Town” Card, audio recorder and board marker.

2. Action
The activities of next cycle was similar than another. But there were some different material given and the different of grouping organized. These revisions
were intended to improve the result of the previous test. There were two teaching learning activities which had been revised based on the cycle 2 findings. The
elaborations were as follows:
a. Teaching Learning Activity 7
In this activity, all activities could run well. The students have felt comfortable and felt confidence in speaking English. The students did not seem
nervous anymore in participate the class actively. Before I started the activity, as usual I opened the class by greeting, praying
and checking the attendance list. Then, I also brushed up on the previous materials.
The materials for the activity covered all the materials started from first activity in cycle 1 until sixth activity in cycle 2. It meant that the students should
master all the materials, especially the expressions and knew the meaning and besides how to pronounce it correctly using good pronunciation.
Firstly, the students practiced and brushed up on the materials alone. Many students asked me about the expressions, because they sometimes missed the
grammar components of the expressions. They practiced using “High Town” Card as a media to remember what the expressions they should said.
In JCOT, students got a simple task from me. The students are asked to choose a partner as a rival. After they practiced to remember the expressions what
they learnt, firstly they introduced to the partner. The rules were they attempted to win the partner’s information card. One way was to turn ask a yesno question and
tried to guess your partner’s information. The winner was someone who guessed the partner’s information correctly. After that, the winner broke away and found
another partner and played again. When the students were doing the activity, they didn’t look shy and I though they felt free in doing the speaking activity. The
students could ask the questions if they forgot what the expressions were, because they didn’t allow opening the book. They just allowed asking me as the teacher
and of course in English. The next section was ICOT that the students got a task to describe the
complete the personality in front of class. After they practiced in MOT and JCOT sections, they can be easily to do it. The students still used the “High Town” Card
as a media and acted based on its personality.
b. Teaching Learning Activity 8
