METHODOLOGY
A. Type of Research
This research was action research. It aimed to find and implement some
actions to improve the listening skills of grade XI, class IPA A students of SMA
Muhammadiyah Wonosobo. The research procedure was adapted from a model
proposed by Kemmis and Mc Taggart in Burns (1999:32) that action research occurs
through a dynamic and complementary process, which consists of four essential
steps: planning, action, observation, and reflection.
The subjects of the research were the XI IPA A grade students of senior high
school in SMA Muhammadiyah, Wonosobo in the academic year of 2017/ 2018.
There are 30 students on the class. The researcher chose that school because based
on the observation, he found some problems related to the listening class activities.
He decided to take the data from students of A class randomly, because based on the
interview with the English teacher that among three classes had the same quality in
mastering listening skill.
The facilities supporting the English teaching and learning activities in the
listening laboratory are a whiteboard, board markers, 40 student tables, 40 student
chairs, a teacher table, a teacher chair, 1 LCD Projector, 40 headsets, 6 audio
speakers, 40 computers and a set of main computer.
D. Collecting Data
The data were collected in the form of qualitative and quantitative data. The
qualitative data were obtained by doing observation during the teaching learning
process and the implementation of the action in the field. The data were in the form
of field notes.
There were two kinds of technique used by the researcher to collect the data.
They were test and observation. Each technique was also followed by the instruments.
Furthermore the detail instruments of the research were presented on the following
table.
The qualitative data were analyzed from field notes during the research.
Meanwhile, the students listening tests were score by using listening score. The data
were analyzed in five stages proposed by Burns (1999). The first stage was collected
the data. In this stage the data were collected to be re-read in order to state important
point to show up the broad pattern and to classify them. The second stage was coding
the data in which the data can be specified. The next stage was comparing the data
that had been specified to see the repetition of the data pattern and the connection
among the different data sources. The next stage was building interpretation. This
stage developed explanation why particular pattern of interaction and attitude had
come up in this project. The last stage was reporting in which the data were presented
to others.
