This action research study attempts to (1) improve students' participation in Freier Vortrag II, (2) improve students' motivation, (3) improve students' initiatives to speak in German in front of public, and (4) improve students' achievement in Freier Vortrag II. The research subjects were students of semester seven first enrolled in the academic year of 2000/2001 attending Freier Vortrag II in the German Language Education Study Program, the Faculty of Languages and Arts, the Yogyakarta State University.

The research steps included planning, action implementation, fact finding, and fact analysis. The study consisted of two cycles. Each cycle comprised planning, action, observation, and reflection. The first cycle included lecturers' intensive guidance to make students well equipped with the materials for Freier Vortrag II in German. The students made maximum use of the guidance; 100% students used the guidance once, 76% twice, 16% three times, and 8% four times. The second cycle included lecturers intensive guidance and a psychologist's mental guidance and a public speaking practitioner's guidance to make students not nervous when they made presentations in German in front of public. The findings show that students' awareness to be actively involved in Freier Vortrag II improves.
