presentation technique in Language Teaching Methodology course. The analysis result then was written in paragraphs.
The second step in analyzing the data gathered was recording the result of the questionnaires in form of table. The table See appendix 2 was the summary
of the respondents’ answers. There were four choices of response to the statement on the questionnaire, 1 was strongly disagree, 2 for disagree, 3 for agree, 4 for
strongly agree. Then, the writer counted the percentage of each response. The writer put the raw data in the form of table and drew the percentage of each
statement in bar graphs before analyzing it. The writer then counted the total score of the response for each questionnaire from each student. The total scores
would classify the perceptions that the students have on the use of the group presentation technique.
The next step was classifying the result of the open-ended questions in the questionnaires. The writer would also transcribed the interview result and classify
it. Those two analyses would help the writer find out some possible suggestions that can be used to improve the implementation of group presentation technique.
