Kemdikbud, 2014 and Essential Grammar in Use Murphy, 2007. The materials included a dialogue of holiday plan, grammar review, and jumbled-
words. Having prepared the lesson plan and the materials, the researcher also designed teaching activities. The researcher divided the teaching activities into
three activities, namely pre-activities, main activities, and post-activities. In the pre-activities, the researcher planned to invite the students to review previous
material that they had already got from the teacher. Then, in the main activities, the researcher started to give the materials and implemented the jumbled-word
game. In the post-activities, the researcher invited the students to conclude the materials they had learnt on the day and ended the teaching-learning process.
b. Action
In this step, the researcher implemented the lesson plan which had been arranged before. The implementation was conducted on May 6, 2015 in 80
minutes. The researcher only implemented the action step in one meeting because in previous week the school was ended earlier without any information before.
The action step was divided into three activities: pre-activities, main activities, and post-activities.
1 Pre-Activities
In this part, the researcher greeted the students and asked about their conditions. The researcher did not have to introduce herself because the students
had already known her. After greeting the students, the researcher asked the students about previous material given by the teacher.

2 Main Activities
The main activities were started by distributing copies of a dialogue about a holiday plan to the students. The researcher asked the students to read the
dialogue by themselves and discussed it with their friend. The researcher also chose some students to read aloud the dialogue. After each student had a chance to
read the dialogue, the researcher gave feedback about their pronunciation since the English teacher of X AK class asked the researcher to pay attention to their
pronunciation. Then, the researcher distributed a worksheet, and the students had to compose some sentences about their holiday plan.
Afterwards, the students were divided into some groups of four to five students. In group, they had to arrange some jumbled-words and discussed the
results later. Moreover, the researcher also asked the students to arrange another jumbled-words individually. Unfortunately, the time was limited and the
researcher decided to give next assignment as homework, namely composing some compound sentences about their future plan if they had a time machine.
3 Post-Activities
In this part, the researcher and the students concluded the materials learned on the day. Then, the researcher ended the meeting.
c. Observation
The observation step was conducted on May 6, 2015 by two observers who were students of ELESP Sanata Dharma University. There were three points
that had to be observed, such as learners, learning process, and teaching strategies. According to Kemmis and McTaggart 1988,
