description text during Cycle II. They were Tourism place and Historical places
. The teaching and learning process in Cycle II would be discussed in the description
below.
a. Applying Bingo Game to teach vocabulary
As I planned before, I tried to change the topic of the game. It was aimed to enrich the
students‟ knowledge and vocabulary. I also planned to give clear examples of pronouncing the words possibly used in the game to make the
students get an ease while playing the game. The last I planned to manage the time allocation better by using alarm. So when the time was up the alarm would
ring and the game would be over. The rules of the game were similar as implemented in Cycle I but I made a bit change to the rules. The students
provided the words by themselves related to the topic and filled it on their Bingo board. To refresh the situation, the students were sitting in their desk-mates and
for group work and game; they still placed on the previous group. There was no difference in grouping for the next Cycle. It aimed to make the time efficient and
they retained the chemistry with previous group. They were enjoyed to stay in previous group
In the first meeting, the topic was about tourism places. It was the same with one of the topic in the Cycle I. I asked the students to find 25 words related
to the tourism place and filled it on their Bingo board. Then I would ask one group to another to say their words and the meaning. The other group tried to
match the words whether it was on their list or not. If the other groups have the same word with the first group so it will be marked by using cross or circle. It was
played until there was a group who shouted “Bingo”. I also gave a reward to the
group who won the first and second place. The students look enjoyed the game. Every group showed their best to win the game. New rules did not affect
their enthusiasm to the game. It could be seen from the interview transcript below.
They enjoyed the game because they could compete with their friends to be the best in the game. So it made the students release their 100 ability to
master the vocabulary related to the topic. They also felt that this game could increase their togetherness and solidity as a team. It could be seen in the
following interview transcript. R : Dek gimana tadi Bingo Gamenya ada yang susah gak? how was the

rule, is it affected to the game? S7: Ga da masalah malah kita bisa milih kata yang kita inginkan jadi lebih
mudah aja.No problem, besides we can choose oour own words so it is easier.
R : Terus lebih mudah mana nginget kosakatanya, pake game ini pa pake model hafalan langsung? which is your choice between using this game
or memorizing? Which one is easier? S7: Ya mending pake game kak soalnya belajar sambil bermain lebih mudah
ingetnya kak. Kan sama-sama menikmati apalagi kalo bareng temen- temen terasa lebih mudah lagi kak belajarnya. I prefer using game
because study with playing is easier to memorize. We can enjoy together with friends. It is easier to learn with that.
