How have I improved my practice after conducting the intervention?
In my first cycle, I used a video simulation about first time introduction. That video used
real people as the actors. They were given a situation and they need to do a role play or
simulation as if they were in the situation. That video also provided caption for the participant to
understand the simulation well. It also been conducted in the real situation. The actors and
actresses acted the situation really well.
At first, I felt that the video was perfect, however, after conducted the intervention, a few
flaws had came into the picture. I find it the caption provided was not really tally with the
situation acted out. However, it still did not become the biggest problem, since the caption
provided gave a simpler way for the participants to conduct their own simulation. However, I
found that the pupils cannot really relate the simulation with their own daily life situation. The
situation is not familiar with some of them. Furthermore, actors and actresses were adult.
I decided to use the video that are more familiar (the situation) to the participants, used a
more interesting and simple videos in the next cycle.

How have I improved my practice after conducting the intervention?
In my second cycle, I still used videos with real people, but they were not in the form of
role play. The videos explained to the participants how to speak appropriately in a certain
situation. EnglishClass101.com videos taught the participant how to speak in appropriate ways in
three minutes. After they watch and listen properly to the video, I gave them a situation based on
the topics in those videos. After that they need to practice the situations with their partner.
Surprisingly, they were very natural to act out the situation. This is because there were
not been tied with the videos that they watch earlier. The videos only told them how to speak
appropriately. They need to show their own body language and facial expression. In the first
cycle they tend to follow the body language and facial expression in the videos so it became
unnatural.
