1. Observation

This method implies the collection of information by way of investigator’s own observation, without interviewing the respondents. Qualitative observations are those in which the researcher takes field notes on the behaviours and activities of individual at the research site. 10 Therefore, the information gathered relates to what is currently happening and is not complicated by either the past behaviour or future intentions or attitudes of respondents. 11 The design of observation sheet should be developed based on the characteristic of 2013 curriculum especially in the methodology of teaching. First of all, this observation was employed on the lesson plans which are made by the teachers, then followed by the teaching process observation and assessment process observation. The most significant feature of teaching methodology in 2013 curriculum is using scientific approach, hence the design of observation sheet tends on this characteristic. As scientific approach in instruction activity, authentic assessment is also the key feature adopted in 2013 curriculum assessment technique. Therefore, the observation sheet was made based on its characteristic. In order to be more focus on the research, researcher used observation protocol as the guideline sheet. Here is the observation protocol used in this research. a. The observation protocol for teaching planning of ELT confirming the implementation of 2013 Curriculum in seventh class of SMPN 3 South Tangerang. This protocol used to observe the process of designing lesson plan which designed by English language teachers. This protocol contained the procedures of designing lesson plan based on what stated in the law of the Ministry of National Education and Culture number 13 year 2014. Here is the 10 J.W.
