B. Research Participants
In order to find the data from the teacher’s introductory language or teacher’s talk in English classroom, three teachers were used as the research
participants. The participants of this research were taken from three English
teachers of Senior High School of all graders.
C. Setting
The source of the data from this research was teachers of Senior High School. It took place in SMA N 1 Klaten located on Jalan Merbabu, Klaten. Three
Senior High School teachers from different grades were chosen to obtain the data. The direct observation was done in one week started from 14 – 16 April 2008. It
was conducted three times a week. Before conducting the observations, the researcher made an observation in one week in the Senior High School to dig out
deeper about the teachers. After doing the classroom observations, the researcher conducted interviews on October, 27 2008 to the three teachers used as the
research participants. SMAN 1 Klaten was chosen because this Senior High School has already been an international-based school.
C. Research Instruments
The instrument of this research is a direct observation and interview. Ary, Jacobs, Razavieh 1979: 191 said that by using observation, the researcher
identified the behavior to identify, categorize and record in either a natural situation. This research observed how the teacher taught English in classroom.
The observation was supported by using another instrument in getting the data to solve the first research problem. This instrument was the audio recording
of the teacher’s talk in teaching English and the data was backed up by note- taking. The data was recorded using MP3 player. In order to gain the result, the
data was transcribed to make it easier to analyze. These instruments helped to obtain the valid data about the teacher’s introductory language. Implementing the
observations, this research could identify the language used by the teacher in the classroom and the purposes of the teachers’ introductory language.
In collecting the data to answer the second research problem, the researcher conducted the interviews with the teacher that served as the research participants.
The interview was used because this research needed supporting data to identify the role of the teacher’s introductory language in teaching English directly. The
question for interviewing the teachers is provided in appendix 3. This instrument was meant to support the data collected from the classroom observations. It served
as the additional data to the first data. This strengthened the data needed for this research.
