E. Data Gathering Technique
The first step in gathering the needed data was through teaching notes. The researcher observed the teaching and learning process in VIII G Class of SMP

on students‟ participations during teaching and learning activity especially reading activities. By observing the class,
the researcher could obtain data from teaching notes. The data gained through teaching notes were in a form of lists
of students‟ behavior in regard to students‟ participation during teaching and learning process. The next step of collecting

After getting the data needs, the researcher prepared English comics as the reading media for the students to increase their motivation to read English texts.
The use of English comics was to cure the problems in the class. While teaching using comics as the reading material, the researcher observed the circumstances in
the class. The observation was recorded in form of teaching notes. After experiencing using English comics as teaching media, the researcher distributed
questionnaire again. The questionnaire was about asking their feeling and perception about English texts after experiencing reading using English comics.

F. Data Analysis Technique
After gathering the data needs for the research, the researcher analyzed the data. In order to valid the data found from the instruments, it was analyzed by
using data triangulation. Bogdan and Biklen 2003 state, “Triangulation is to
convey the idea to establish a fact you need more than one source of information p.
107.” They further explain that many sources of data were better in a study because multiple sources lead to a fuller understanding of the phenomena p.107.
However, the analysis was done in some steps i.e. analyzing questionnaires, and analyzing teaching notes.
