According to Ary, Jacobs, and Razavieh 1990: 418 as cited in Hanani 2005, a questionnaire is an instrument of a study to gather information through the respondents‟ written responses to a list of questions. The questionnaire was written in Bahasa Indonesia in order to avoid misunderstanding of the students. According to Wiersma 1995, questionnaire is divided into two different types, namely open-ended and closed-ended questionnaire. The open-ended type gives the participants the opportunity to answer in their own words. In close- ended type, the participants select the answer based on the choice items provided Wiersma, 1995. In this research, the researcher used the combination of open- ended and closed-ended questionnaire. The researcher provided items to be chosen by the students and a blank space below the options for students to give another answer see appendix 2.
