Interview Pronunciation Tests Instruments and Data Gathering Technique

course of collecting and reflecting on the data in qualitative study .” The outside observers recorded the situation in the classroom and the response of the students during the implementation of the action. In the field notes, the observers also wrote the problem in the action that should be revised in the next cycle.

3. Questionnaire

Wallace 2010, p. 124 mentions that “in questionnaires, the questions are usually set out in a very systematic way, and very often the questionnaire is answered by reading questions, and then ticking responses, or writing in short answer .” To know whether the use of movies in improving students‟ pronunciation was successful or not, the researcher distributed the questionnaire to the students. In the questionnaire, the researcher used Likert Scale in which the response of the students toward the action based on the scale of agreement and disagreement. Besides using Likert Scale, the researcher also used open-ended questions to give opportunity to the students in explaining their response or opinion about the action implemented. The researcher gave the questionnaire to the students after the implementation of the action. The students were asked to fill the questionnaire based on their opinion and experience during the action.

4. Interview

Wallace 2010, p. 151 mentions that interview are usually used to “investigate people‟s views, attitudes, experiences etc., in depth. The researcher interviewed five students of class XI EL after the implementation of the action to know the use of movies in classroom in depth. The considerations of selecting those students were based on the mistake they made before watching the movies, their responses while the watching movies, and the mistakes they made after watching the movies. From the five students, they had different response while they were watching the movies and it affected on the number of mistakes they made after watching the movies. The questions used in the interview were open questions. However, the researcher made different questions spontaneously in order to follow the students‟ answer.

5. Pronunciation Tests

In gathering the data, the researcher conducted the pronunciation test in each cycle. The researcher did the pronunciation test before the students watched the movie. It aimed to know students‟ ability in pronunciation. The researcher gave the students text and asked them to read it in front of the researcher. After that, the researcher counted the mistakes made by the students in pronouncing the English words. The researcher told the students about their mistakes and asked them to learn the pronunciation of the words while they were watching movie. After watching the movie, the researcher did the pronunciation test again for each student. Here, the researcher counted the mistakes and compared it with the mistakes made before they watched movie to see the improvement. The indicator whether the movies really helped the students was that the number of mistakes the students made before and after watching the movies. When the students could decrease their mistakes, it could be concluded that the movies was really helped the students effectively.
