b. Observing the Action
The observation was done during the teaching and learning process. In this step, the English teacher of SMP N 1 Kaliwiro was the observer. He observed
all activities happening in the classroom and took notes related to the process of teaching and learning. There were some aspects which were observed: class
situation, students’ behavior, teacher technique in delivering the materials and students response when they were given the materials. The result of the
observation was written in field notes as the data while the researcher writes her observation result in diaries. The English teacher as the observer gave some input
and suggestion to the researcher. The observer also takes some photographs of the teaching and learning process.
c. Reflecting the Action
The researcher evaluated the teaching activity that had been carried out. The researcher reflected the field note
and diaries in order to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the teaching activity that had been carried out
. The weaknesses
are refined in the next cycle, so that finally the effectiveness of using cartoon films to improve
students’ pronunciation ability is determined.
d. Revising the Plan
Revising plan was needed when the action cycle did not make any improvement
on the students’ pronunciation ability. Based on the weaknesses which are found in reflecting process, the researcher revises the plan for the next
cycle.
