B. Research Finding Description
2. Cycle 1 a. Planning
In this stage the researcher and the collaborator prepared several things related to teaching and learning process such as prepare the lesson plan and instrument that would be examined as post-test in cycle 1. The researcher also planned to give evaluation to measure how far the materials that have been taught can be accepted by the students.
b. Acting

students who passed in test, but the result of the students’ test was better than the students’ test before giving treatment.
It could be concluded that there was an improving of students’ learning activities during study time through match game madia in improving the students’ grammar mastery. This cycle also showed that average of the score in the pre-test of the students was 58,5. Meanwhile, the average of the score in the post-test 1 of students was 71. It showed that there was any significant effect between pre-test and post-test 1 in this cycle.
c. Observing
1) The succes of the product
In observation of tecaher’s action the researcher presented two meeting in cycle 1 of learning to find out the information in learning process. The researcher explained the material about question taq and match game as a media to comprehend of grammar easily. Although the researcher had explained the material reading espesially reading comprehension clearly, but the students were still confused and got difficulties to remember the formula. The students who got score more than 77 in pre test only 2 students of 20 students. In the first meeting in cycle 1 the students began be active and interested in teaching learning process. In the post-test 1 in of cycle 1 only 6 students who got 77 or more.
After knew the score of pre test the resercher gave post test 1 to know the improving at the cycle 1. The table below showed the result of students score at post-test 1 in cycle 1.

14. E F 60 Failed
15. E S W 80 Passed
16. F 70 Failed
17. H D 70 Failed

Higest score 90
Lowest score 60
Based on the table above, it could be seen that 6 students from 20 students were succes and 14 students from 20 were not success. It was more higher the result of pre test. The criteria of students who was successful in mastering the material was the students who got minimun score of 77, while the class be said successful in achieving the material if 75 % of the students in the
class who got score at least 77. The fact showed that the result was unsatisfactory.
2) The succes of process
In learning process, there were four indicators used and mentioned to know students’ activities. Every student who was active in learning process gave a mark in observation sheet. For students were not active in learning, let the observation sheet empty. It can be seen on the appendix. The indicators of the students’ activity are:
a) Students pay attention to the teacher’s explanation.
b) Students ask / answer the questions from the teacher.
c) Students are active in following the Match Game Media.
d) Students are able to do the task.
Table 7
The Result of Students’ Learning Activities in Cycle 1
No Students’ Activities Frequency Percentage (%) 1 Students pay attention to the
teacher’s explanation
14 70%
2 Students ask / answer the questions from the teacher
5 27%
3 Students are active in following the Match Game Media.
9 47%
4 Students do the task 20 100%
Total Students 20

Beside that, most of students’ scores had improved although the condition of learning process was uncontrolled enough.
From the result of observation in cycle I, there were some problems that found, as follow:
1. There were some students that shown unenthusiastic to the teacher’s explanation.
2. Some students not be able to remember the formula of question taq.
3. Some students did not ask and answer the teacher’s question about formula of question taq.
Based on the result of reflection in cycle I, there were some problems to be revision in cycle II, as follow:
1. Teacher kindly gave more detail explanation about the material and gave question after explained the material.
2. Teacher kindly guided the students who not be able to remember the formula of question taq.
3. Teacher kindly gave stimulus to the students for example by giving reward to the student who brave answered the question.
