I checked and compared the findings one by one at the end of the class. The difference between pre-test and post-test results is important. To begin with, in my pre-test activity, 30 to 35 percent of students correctly completed the exercises. After I taught 2 lessons, this students reached good results. 70-75 percentage of students correctly completed the tasks. They learned how listening tasks do correctly and what they should do while listenin
4. Reflecting stage

Reflection

I have faced many challenges while doing this action research. My first problem was choosing a good, helpful, and at the same time problematic topic. I even changed the theme I chose a few times without liking it. Then I chose the topic of engaging passive learners in the lesson through listening activities. I chose this topic because of the observational results of my 1 month internship at the school. Because in school, teachers conduct lessons mainly only through school textbooks. As a result, many students have lost interest in the lesson. They sit carelessly in class and make noise, disturbing students who want to read more.
First stage, I have observed this situation in many lesson processes and have focused the main aim of my action research on working with passive learners. I have read the books, articles, and scholarly works of many professors and teachers to shed light on this topic with clear theoretical and practical evidence. I can also add that this is my chosen topic and the methods I used when I was doing microteaching are really good and effective. I think that the information and experience I have gained will help me a lot in my future teaching career.
In the second stage, I presented the results of my questionnaire interviews with school teachers and students based on my topic. During the collection of this information, I became acquainted with the views of teachers and students on modern and traditional teaching methods. According to students, traditional teaching methods are too boring for them. For this reason, most students are not interested in the lesson, preferring to go to a tutor to learn English in class. Most teachers choose a method that is easy for them, i.e., they just go through the lesson from the textbook. Because new creative methods need to be explored. According to the students, doing listening activities and playing games is very interesting and useful for them. Because all students want to get good marks during the lesson. I focused on each student’s opinion and used those ideas in my microteaching lessons.
I took a test to check students ’knowledge before my microteaching lesson on listing. The results of the students were not satisfactory. Because they had done very few listening tasks before. But after 2 lessons I took the test again to see what results I got. Happily, 70-75 percent of students achieved good results on this test.
I also encountered a number of challenges during the lesson. The excitement and fear were strong in the first lesson. I even forgot to give students homework because I was so excited and in a hurry in the first lesson. But the students in the class I entered were very orderly. They took an active part in the lesson and respected me as well. Passive learners who did not attend the class also took an active part. During the lesson, I gave points to each correct answer of the students and rewarded the students who scored the most points at the end of the lesson. I awarded the student with the highest score with a paper crown. It was a lot of fun for them.
In conclusion, I can say that I have gained a lot of new knowledge during this action research. I practiced methods that were new to me while teaching students, and became acquainted with the opinions of professors and scientists.
