games as fun learning
activities during the
practice and production
Cycle 1 made some improvements of students
since those were interesting. However, the
timing needed to be managed well to make the
games more successful. The use of songs in the
Cycle 1 was not effective enough as the songs were
too complicated for the students. However, the
songs could be good language input to the
students before they did speaking or joined the
games. would be
sustained to be used in Cycle
2 with improvement.
management was applied in the
lesson to make the Fun learning more
successful. The songs should be
short and simple. They should be
given with the right procedure.
Using flashcards
and cards as media
combined with the
game set. Flashcards and cards were
helpful during the teaching and learning process since
it could be seen from the back rows and it had
colorful design. The students could understand
the materials more easily. This action
would be sustained to be
used in Cycle 2 with
improvement and
modifications. In the Cycle 2, the
media would be more various. The
flashcards, cards, games set would
be added by others media.
Applying routines and
patterns classroom
management The routines and patterns
were interesting to the students. However, it
needed to be improved since some students were
still noisy. This action
would be sustained to be
used in Cycle 2 with
improvement and
modifications. The patterns such
as ‘English, Yes I can,” were still
applied. The classroom
management related to the
routine in the grouping and
submitting work would be applied.
The class rules would be applied.
The noisy students were made helpful.
Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that the result of Cycle 1 was valid because it was in line with the concept of dialogic, process and
outcome validity. It means that there were some improvements and weaknesses after the implementation of the actions which were supported by some data in the
form of field notes and interview transcripts. In addition, the results were said to be reliable because there were more than one observer in gathering the data. It
was in line with the concept of investigator triangulation.
