2. Cycle 2

From the reflection done by the end of Cycle I, the researcher found some weaknesses related students’ activity in the class and their vocabulary mastery. Dealing with activity, some students were still passive when joining teaching and learning activities. Some of them were afraid to answer the teacher’s questions. In vocabulary mastery, some students still made mistakes in spelling and pronouncing some words. Besides, they still made mistakes in using the words in the right context. Based on the weaknesses above, the researcher revised the action in Cycle II. The action in the cycle would focus more on spelling and pronounciation as well as improving students’ behavior from passive to be more active.
