Both of meetings were conducted at the Eighth grade of SMP Negeri 3 Hiliduho especially class VIII-A, with the total numbers of the students were 30 students and all of the students were present at the time. The first meeting was
conducted on Saturday 27 th August 2016 and the second meeting also was conducted on Monday 29 th August 2016. Clearly, the result of the research in Cycle I it could be
seen in explanation of every meeting as follows.
1) First Meeting
The material was taught by the researcher to the students in the first meeting was about asking and giving opinion. The time allocation used was 2x40 minutes. The
meeting was conducted on Saturday 27 th August 2016. The procedures of this meeting could be viewed in some steps as follows.
a) Planning
In this step the researcher found the syllabus, prepared lesson plan, the teaching material, evaluation sheet, observation sheet of the students' and the researcher's
activities, attendance list of the students and camera to take the students' and the researcher performance during conducting the research.
b) Action
After planning, the researcher conducted the action in the classroom. The researcher entered the classroom together with the teacher-collaborator. Then the teacher-collaborator gave the chance to the researcher to start the activities based on the procedures in lesson plan.
Firstly, the researcher greeted the students and asked their condition, while the teacher-collaborator took a sit next of the door to observe the researcher's and the students' activities during the teaching-learning process. Concisely, the researcher started to conduct the action by introducing her self to the students and the purpose to enter that classroom. This action headed for making a good relation to the students. After that, the researcher checked the students' attendance list and the students raised the right hand when the researcher was calling the students' name one by one. This action conferred several profits for the researcher to know the names, faces, genders, and the entire numbers of the students. All the students. at the time were present.
Furthermore, the researcher introduced the material to the students. The topic of the material was asking and giving opinion. For making the good atmosphere in teaching material, the researcher asked the students' prior knowledge about the material. Then, the researcher clarified the real definition, the expression of asking and giving opinion and gave the example in order that the students could understand it clearly.
After that, the researcher asked the students to read the several expressions of asking and giving opinion, and then the researcher guides them in speaking by using Chain Drill Technique. During conducted the activity, the researcher allows some controlled communication, even though it is limited. Then, the researcher began the conversation by greeting a particular student or asked them a question. After the first students respond, then turns to the students 2 sitting next to her/him. After student 2 responds, then she/he turns to the student 3 or asked a question or offers a greeting. After student 3 responds, she/he turns to the students sitting next to her/him until all the class had participating in speaking.
After guided the students in speaking by using Chain Drill Technique, the researcher gave the improvement on the students' mistake and their limitation in responding a chain during conducted Chain Drill Technique. The next, action is the researcher asked the students in pairs to practice asking and giving opinion by using things arround them. And then the researcher concludes the material and gave motivation to the students. After that the researcher closed the class by greeted the students.
c) Observation
