They were used to minimize problems during the teaching and learning processes. They helped the researcher to run the class with the right and systematic stages, yet she could deviate from the lesson plans if necessary. Lesson plans covered the standard of competency, the basic competencies, indicators, objective, media, learning materials including tasks, steps of teaching and learning process, and assessment.

They were role play and a ‘Lie Detector’ game. Below are the steps to play the games. Role Play: A Telephone Conversation 1. Work in pairs. 2. Your teacher will distribute situation cards. 3. Open the situation card you get. 4. Play the game based on the situation you get. A ‘Lie Detector’ Game The students are divided into eight groups. One member of each group leaves the room. In their absence the groups decide on a set of five questions they want to ask the students. These can either be personal or factual questions. The students who went outside now return to their groups. They have to answer all questions, except one, truthfully; in one case they may lie. The rest of the group has to decide which answer was a lie. They have to give reasons to justify their opinion. The student tells them if they were right. Communicative games would be played after all inputs were explained and presented by the researcher. Students used the inputs, including vocabularies, expressions, and how to pronounce them, to play the games. Games were aimed to avoid students from boredom and vary the teaching and learning activities. More importantly, games were aime d to improve students’ speaking skills. 2 Conducting Pronunciation Drills Pronunciation drills were still continued to be implemented in cycle 2, because these activities helped students improve their pronunciation skills. They produced less mispronounced words. The activities would be the same as those in cycle 1. There would be ‘Listen and Repeat’. Students would find difficult and unfamiliar words they got from the model text, and then the researcher would pronounce the words loudly. Students listened and repeated. Pronunciation drills of expressions were also the same. The repetition would be done for several times until all students pronounced the words correctly. 3 Conducting Vocabulary Practices Vocabulary practices were decided to be implemented in cycle 2 due to their success in increasing students’ vocabularies in cycle 1. Students produced more words. As students’ vocabularies increased, they were confident to speak up. The activities would be giving students difficult and unfamiliar words taken from the model text. They found out the meaning in their dictionaries. The researcher helped students to find the meaning by defining the words rather than translating them. The same as students did in cycle 1, they would note down new words they learned every meeting.
