a. The writer got the list of names and sexes of both inactive and active members of Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia HPI Prambanan from the chairman and
the secretary of the organization. b. Active members of HPI Prambanan were listed and given number from one to
seventeen. There was no consideration of numbering. It was done in random. c. The writer used a lottery system to decide the samples. The writer wrote
number one up to seventeen in seventeen small papers. Those small papers were rolled and put in a small can. Later on, the writer took nine small papers
as the samples. d. From the lottery, the writer got nine numbers in random. Those numbers were
matched with the list of names. e. After the nine samples were obtained, the observation was started.
3. Setting
The research was conducted in Prambanan Temple in June 22 – June 26, 2007. Since there was an audio recording process, this research was done in a
closed room to avoid distractions, so the recording would be as clear as possible. All of the recording processes were done in the HPI Prambanan office.
Each respondent needed approximately thirty six minutes for the recording process, and thirty five minutes to fulfill the questionnaire.

knew facts about respondents’ personal data, respondents’ language usage, and respondents’ process and efforts of learning English. The writer could also gain
information about respondents’ intention of learning English. Checklists were very important when the writer analyzed the data because
“checklists are mnemonic devices, i.e., they reduce the chances of forgetting to check something important. They reduce errors of omissions” Scriven, 2005 as
cited in http:www.wminch.eduevalctrchecklistspaperslogic_methodology.pdf , accessed on August 20, 2007. Checklists were used to help the writer answered
the first and second problem. This checklist was useful because it helped the writer to categorize types of sentences produced by the respondents, whether they
were correct or incorrect sentences. The types of sentence patterns had been discussed in Chapter II. They were simple sentence, compound sentence, and
complex sentence. Since this checklist helped to categorize types of sentences,
