3.6.2 Selection criteria and procedure to recruit the second sample group

The second group of sample was selected based on the nomination of teacher instructors in every district and municipality. These teacher instructors were those involved in the CBIT training in the province and district levels and in other trainings in this area. There were normally two to four teacher instructors in each district and municipality. However, in the implementation of the training they usually worked together. It was therefore, a common practice that instructors in one district were very often also involved in the training in other districts. There were four teachers resulted from the second recruitment process. These four teachers were nominated by the teacher instructors and were members of the first group. The nomination of the members of the second group was based on predetermined criteria related to their English proficiency. The teachers resulted from the nomination represented teachers with high, middle and low English proficiency. At the nomination stage, there were actually nine chosen teachers out of twelve nominated teachers representing high, middle, and low proficiency respectively. At the final stage, however, only four of the nominated teachers expressed their 72 positive participation. Three of them reused to participate and the other two participants withdraw from their participation. Among these four teachers, one teacher was identified as having low English proficiency, two teachers were in the middle, and the other one was the high English proficiency. These four teachers participated in the follow-up study focusing on their teaching practices in the classroom. Participants were asked to complete a consent form and their participation was also voluntary. Data collected from this group of participants were gained through semi-structured interview and classroom observations.
