CHAPTER 4. RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the results of the classroom action research in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. Each cycle consists of the result of observations, the result of
reading comprehension achievement test, the result of reflections and the discussion of the research result. All of those issues are presented in the following
sections.
4.1 The Results of the Actions in Cycle 1
The results of the actions in Cycle 1 presents about four aspect done in Cycle 1. They include the implementation of the actions, the results of two

reading test. The first meeting was on November 12
th
, 2015, and the second meeting was on November 16
th
