During my observation at SNCS, I noticed that some Grade 8 students are struggling with reading comprehension and vocabulary depth. For instance, I was tasked with facilitating their work on textbook exercises, and in the directions, there was a word "scrutinized" that none of the students were familiar with. However, by carefully analyzing the context of the directions, the meaning of the word could be inferred. After I explained it, the students understood. This observation suggests that reading comprehension and vocabulary depth are critical areas that can be studied through action research, as they play a very important role in students’ learning.

Teachers are the primary guides in their students’ learning. When they notice issues or challenges in the classroom, they naturally want to address and resolve them. This is why action research is important for teachers. It provides a structured way to identify problems, explore different strategies, and implement solutions. Additionally, action research encourages teachers to reflect on their practice, experiment with innovative teaching methods, and continuously improve their instructional strategies to enhance student learning outcomes.
