“…This finding is in contrast with the previous studies, which mainly made of use of the stages for teaching writing, for instance, Ahn 2012 They did not cover the other skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and grammar as they, from the outset, were designed to investigate the cycle in one of the language skills only, while the current study deals with a wider scope, namely the use of the cycle in teaching all language skills and components. Besides, the current study uncovers the practice of a cycle containing four stages, whereas the existing previous research employed the cycle with three steps (Firkins et al, 2007;Wu and Dong, 2009;Trong, 2011;Ahn, 2012;Pujianto et al, 2014;Fanani, 2018). Thus, the current study differs from the previous ones as the scopes, settings, participants, and the models of cycle involved were different.…”
