understand the item to fill. Some items of questions were clarified by the researcher through short explanations.

recording was used in first observation, but the observation did not work well. The students were quieter than their daily behavior and they did not display normal conversation as they used to be.

rapport with the subjects Later, a semi-structured question format was used as a guideline to ask questions and to encourage the interviewees to talk in their own way. Some changes were
made to facilitate the interviews such as the place of the interview was conducted in the participant
s‘ class where they seemed to be more familiar with and with minimum distracters.
