B. Data Analysis
All participants were asked about the reason why they join or not join the English course in the questionnaire.
The writer divided the participants’ questionnaire into two groups which are the participant who join the English
course and the others who do not join the English course. The participants who join the English course have several reasons why they
joined the English course. First, their parents asked them to join the English course to improve their English. Second, the students themselves feel insecure
with their English skills and need to improve it. The third reason is they need extra time to study because they want to face the national exam. And the last
reason is the place of the English course is near their home. As the participants stated, their parents think the study time in school is not enough. So, their parents
asked them to join the course even though they do not want to join the course. Moreover, the participants will face National exam in few month, so their
parents think they need extra time to study. Besides that, some participants also stated that they need to improve their English because they think they lacked in
some English skill like speaking and writing skills. Participants also stated that their parents chose the English course based on the location. Parents usually chose
the nearest English course from home. Based on participants’ questionnaire, the English course taught them about
four English skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. Furthermore, they are also learning about English grammar. The participant stated they learned about
tenses, introduce oneself, text report, advertisement, procedure, and etc. English course also gave them new efficient and effective ways to study. The activities of
English course also helped the participants in identifying learning difficulties and motivated them to keep learning.
The participant also stated their understanding in English increase after they joined the course because the class situation in course is fun to learn. First, the
teacher always gives them new questions to answer then they discussed the answer together. Some questions also helped them in answering the National
Exam’s practice. The period of participant joined the course is very diverse. From 1 month to 6 month.In the course, the participants learn English for 2 to 3 hours
per day. According to documentation of participants’ score, the highest score
achieved by students who joined the English course with a range of score from 90 to 100. Furthermore, students who join the course have a low score in the range of
score about 70 to 80. Different from the participants who joined the English course,students who do
not join the English courses have the highest score in the range of 70-80 while the lowest score of students who do not join the English courses is 70
. The reasons of
participants who do not join the course are they think they do not need extra time to study,
and family’s economic factor. Some participants think they do not need to join English course because they have enough time in school. They stated they
can study English by themselvesat home. Moreover, they have extra time in schools’ extra material session.
Besides that reason, the family’s economic factor is also important. Some English courses have expensive cost for the middle-lower economic family. It
became the significant reason to not join the course. The writer used SPSS software to analyze the data. The result of the data is in
the table below;
