Teaching Experience Theoretical Descriptions

22 participants, while FGD was only conducted to three students who are still working as part-time English teachers. These three students were selected randomly to be involved in FGD after they answered the questionnaires distributed by the researcher. By selecting these three students, the researcher expected that they could express their opinions and experiences in more detail of being part-time English teachers. Moreover, the FGD could strengthen the data collection conducted by the researcher.
