Tata Kecantikan Kulit 1 class Total 13 classes Sample is a group which is selected from target population and studied by researcher.4 Sample is needed in collecting data. To minimize the excessive participants, the writer decided two departments with two classes for each department as the sample of this study using cluster random sampling. Cluster random sampling is the selection of groups, or clusters, of subjects rather than individuals. 5 They were two classes of Tata Boga department and two classes of AP department. The reason of choosing those classes was because those classes need to master the English the most in order to accomplish the requirement of the tourism field.

D. Instrument and Technique of Data Collection

In collecting the data, the writer used two instruments. They are questionnaire and documentation. 4 John W Creswell, Loc.cit. 5 Bernard C. Beins, Maureen A McCarthy, Research Methods and Statistics, New Jersey: Pearson Education, Inc., 2012, p. 95.

1. Questionnaire

The questionnaire was used to collect students’ anxiety. The form of the questionnaire was Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale FLCAS which was adopted from Horwitz. The questionnaire used five point Likert scale format ranging from 1 ‘Strongly Disagree’ to 5 ‘Strongly Agree’. To prevent the misunderstanding, the questionnaire was administered in Bahasa because all participants learn English as a foreign language. In this case, the writer was helped by her adviser in translating the items of questionnaire to ascertain the items have equal quality in both languages. Then, participants were asked to check the statements carefully and read them thoroughly. Moreover, if there are some questions regarding the comprehension of the statements, they were allowed to ask. The participants were given 35 minutes to respond 33 items of the questionnaire. Participants were informed that no one would have an access to the data except the writer and the data would be used only for research purposes.
