respondents who had the most negative responses in the closed-ended question in the questionnaire. The researcher set five open-ended questions to verify the
students’ answers in the questionnaires and to obtain more in-depth explanations. Afterward, the researcher conducted the second interview with two Microteaching
lecturers. Ten questions were designed to dig out the information dealing with the implementation or procedure of teaching lower semester class held in
Microteaching class. The researcher interviewed Microteaching students and Microteaching
lecturers in Bahasa Indonesia for avoiding misunderstanding and being easier in analyzing the data. The interview guides with Microteaching students and
Microteaching lecturers were attached in Appendix 5 and Appendix 7.
