seating arrangement at Sanata Dharma University and their suggestion to improve this seating arrangement. The questions are enclosed in Appendix 1.
E. Data Gathering Procedures
The data were first gathered from the questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed on two different days as three of the classes had different schedule:
Wednesday 30 April 2008 and Thursday 8 May 2006. The writer, who acted as the researcher as well, came to each class to meet the participants. It was aimed to
make sure that all of the participants understood the meaning of each item so that the purpose of the questionnaire can be achieved. It was also meant to ensure that the
questionnaire was returned by the participants. After distributing the questionnaire, the researcher explained the instruction
and the procedure to fill out the questionnaire in Indonesian. Then, the researcher gave time for the participants to fill out the questionnaires. After filling the questions,
the researcher collected the questionnaires. Then, the researcher conducted the
interview on Tuesday, June 20, 2008. There were three interviewees. Those interviewees were interviewed in order to verify their answer in the questionnaire and
to dig out more information. The researcher chose the three interviewees who answered with the clear answers in the open-ended questionnaire that represented the
students who agree and disagree with traditional seating arrangement. And at May 2 and 4, the researcher would do the interview with two lecturers
of Public Speaking lecturers. The researcher used a tool to collect the data; it was a recorder. The recorder was used in order to gather the data accurately.

F. Data Analysis Procedures
Having finished gathering data from the participants, the researcher presented the result of the questionnaire. The researcher analyzed them by putting the data in
the table and discussed them based on the two categories. Those categories were based on the two research questions that the researcher had. Afterwards, as the data
from questionnaires were all collected and processed, the researcher came to the second type of data, namely the interview results. Instead of using a tape recorder, the
researcher also recorded the data in a table and finally triangulated them with the other data from the questionnaire results from both the close-ended and open-ended
questionnaire. The researcher will present the data gathering and data analysis in chapter IV.
