C. Research Instrument

Two research instruments were utilized in order to attain feedback from this study. First, it was an evaluative questionnaire adopted from Cunningsworth ’s checklist. Second, to triangulate the data taken, an open ended questionnaire was distributed then. For the evaluative questionnaire, the items were established by adopting Cunningswor th’s checklist which focused on the aim, approach, language skills, design or organization, language content, and topic used. There were seventy-one items prescribed in the questionnaire which these items were measured using Likert scale. In order to reduce the number of invalidity of the survey result, the researcher only used 4 scales instead of 5 scales namely scale 1 for strongly disagree, 2 for disagree, 3 for agree, and 4 for strongly agree to the item. Beside closed item which was prescribed in form of statement, the questionnaire also encompassed open questions for the respondents to answer. This was aimed to obtain the triangulation data. Besides using open questions, the researcher also used textbook close reading to get the factual evidence from textbook to crosscheck whether the survey results were confirmed.

D. Data Gathering Techniques

In gathering the data, at first, the researcher made an appointment with twenty teachers. However, like what it has been stated above that due to some circumstances, two teachers refused to join the survey and one teacher filled out the questionnaire with the same answers for every item. As result, only thirteen teachers who kindly agreed to the appointment.

The researcher started to meet respondents from school to school. So, it took a month to take the data. From thirteen sets of questionnaire were distributed, amazingly all of them returned. However, there was one questionnaire was returned remain unfilled by a respondent.

E. Data Analysis

The very first step of data gathering was distributing questionnaire to the respondents. The respondents were given a week to fill out the questionnaire completely. The researcher came over to each respondent to explain the procedure in filling out the questionnaire although the researcher had written a clear instruction in the questionnaire. This aims to make sure that the respondents were able to fill out the questionnaire correctly. Then, after a week the questionnaires were collected. After the questionnaire were returned to researcher, the results then were put into the tally system as seen in the table below. After putting all the result in tables, the researcher calculated the data to get the MEAN for each item of the questionnaire. In addition, the standard deviation was also gained to find out whether each item was valid. In the table presented in this survey research report, it comprises the percentage of all fourth scales 1 = strongly disagree, 2= disagree, 3 = agree, and 4= strongly agree, the Mean, and the standard deviation. To read the table, it can be inferred from the mean of the item. If the mean more than 2.5, it means that respondents or teachers agree to the statement. In
