Abstract

The aims of the research are: 1) to describe and analyze the conditions of teaching and learning processes when Code as Activity Sequences was used; 2) to describe and analyze students’ English achievement when the method was used. This is Classroom Action Research which was conducted at the Second Grade Students of SMP N 2 Tengaran in the Academic Year of 2011/2012. There were two cycles implemented within the research. Each cycle consisted of two meeting comprising of four activities namely planning, implementing, observing, and reflection. The data collection method used in the research was observation, test, and document. The collected data was analyzed descriptively and statistically by mean calculation. The result of the analysis says that: 1) using Code as Activity Sequences increase conducive classroom activities. Classroom becomes conducive because, it colors teaching and learning processes in terms of teacher’s actions, students’ responses, and the use of materials combined with teaching aids, and expected result – the students’ achievement in English. The increase can be traced from the very beginning, namely from planning, implementation, observation, and reflection as seen in each cycle. They were completed with the observation sheet along the teaching and learning processes; 2) using Code as Activity sequences improve students’ achievement in English. This can be seen from the increase of their English achievement from starting from the mean score of pre-test, post-test one, and post-test two (73; 98,73; 90, 83). Even though there was a decrease namely from post-test one to post-test two but the scores were still above the minimum passing grade (KKM).
