Field Notes 4, November 20 th , 2013 R : Menurut kalian, penggunaan teknik PALS ini membantu kalian pada saat reading tidak? In your opinion, could the PALS technique help you in reading? S1 : Iya mas, membantu banget. Aku sekarang bisa ngerjain soal lebih cepat dari biasanya. Cuma masalahnya, kadang ada kata-kata yang aku ga mudeng. Yes, of course, sir. It helped me very much in reading. I could answers the questions quicker than before. However, there were some words that I did not know the meaning. S2 : Membantu mas. Kan kita pas diskusi bisa nyatet apa yang penting. Jadi nanti kalo kita mau cari jawabannya kita udah tau posisinya ada dimana. Yes, it could. When we were doing our discussion, we can do some note taking about important information. So, when we tried to find the answers, we already knew the locations of the answers in the text. R : Oh gitu ya. Berarti kalian udah bisa lancar pake teknik ini? Really? So you guys are already know how to use this technique smoothly, right? S4 : Ya ga gitu juga mas, kalo yang suruh njawab di depan kelas itu agak gimana gitu. Well, not really actually. If you ask us to answer the questions in front of the class, it was a bit hard. S1 : Iya mas, aku juga ga pede kalo njawab di depan kelas, takut salah mas. Hahaha That’s right. I also feel not really confident, I’m afraid of making mistake, hahaha Interview transcript 4, Wednesday, November 20 th , 2013
