c. Giving some rewards
To motivate the students, some rewards were given in the form of good comments and gifts. I gave good comments when they tried to be active in the
teaching and learning process. It had purpose to appreciate the students. It was expected that the students would be more motivated in learning English because they
would feel happy if they did the task successfully. This action was implemented by saying excellent, good student, great, awesome, good job or
I‟m happy for having students like you when they tried to answer the questions or did anything they were
asked to do. The main rewards were given in the end of Cycle. In this Cycle, I gave the
rewards for two occasions. The first was for the most active student in joining the class activity. The second was for two groups which had the highest score. All
rewards are in the form of chocolates. Before announcing the winner, I advised the students not to be sad and give up if they could not get rewards. The activity was
shown in the field note below. It‟s time for me to announce the student who becomes the most active
in joining the activity and the group which had the highest score in the last activity,
“Ok students, and let me announce the most active student and the best group. Hopefully, this reward will encourage you all to be more active
and do the best in the next activity. Buat yang belum menang di kesempatan lain pasti bisa dapat hadiah asal selalu aktif dalam mengikuti kegiatan yang
mas berikan. And the winner is Yovita Febri Kinayungan and the group that
gets the highest score is Bosno”. Appendix AField Note 7 Wednesday, September 10

d. Implementing the Facebook Group in the teaching and learning process
The first step, I created a particular Facebook account for teaching and learning purpose before the implementation of Facebook group in the teaching and
learning process. This action was useful to distinguish my public Facebook account with my particular Facebook account for teaching and learning. By distinguishing
them, the students could not know my private activity like sharing private status, photos and videos about my social and family life. The appearances of my public
Facebook account and the particular Facebook account for teaching and learning can be seen below:
Figure 5: My Public Facebook Account
Figure 6: My Particular Facebook Account for Teaching and Learning
The particular Facebook account was used only for teaching and learning process, so there were not status, photos and videos that shared about my and family
life in this account. Selecting the profile and cover photo were also important in order to give a good example to the students. By choosing the photo when I was
studying for the profile photo and giving a speech as a cover photo would give them
an inspiration to do the same things like what I did.
The second step was creating a Facebook group. I chose 8E English Club as the name of the group to identify the members of the group that were the students of
VIII E. Same as a Facebook account, the Facebook group needed a cover photo, so I chose the attractive picture which could make them interested to open and join all of
the activities contained in the Facebook group.
