to measure their scores after the actions. Both of the test measured how the actions affect students‟ listening skills.
C. Instruments of the Research
The researcher used some instruments in collecting the data. There were interview questions,
field notes and students‟ test. 1. Interview guidelines
This questions related to the data that the researcher wants to get. The researcher conducted interview with both teacher and students. The answers of the
questions covered any information related to teaching learning process. The answers stated in the interview transcripts and used as guidelines in creating
conclusions whether the technique could improve the student‟s skill or not. 2. Observation sheets
Observation sheets were used to record the process of teaching and learning. The observation sheets was referred by putting a tick to statements of
theteaching and learning process which were done. 3.
Students‟ test Students‟ test were used as instruments to get information about students‟
ability while and after the action. There were pretest and posttest. Both of them showed students‟ score before and after the technique implemented. From that
scores, researcher can compared the students‟ scores.
4. The listening rubric The tests given to the students were in the form of essay test. Thus, it
needs a rubric for scoring their work. The listening rubric was used to determine the students‟ score on every test they did. The rubric was adapted from several
resources. Here is the rubric for the listening scoring.
