Third, the teacher‟s ability in teaching about this subject need to be improved. The writer implemented a combination of qualitative and quantitative design becausenot only a primary data of qualitative which was needed in this study, but also the numerical data of quantitative was important to support the data. Sometimes, the primary data of qualitative 1 Anne Burns, Doing Action Research in English Language Teaching, New York : Routledge, 2010, p.2. was not enough to address or answer the research problem, so mixed method was also needed. The secondary data of quantitative was needed to extend, elaborate, or explain the primary data 2 . Gall is also agree that action research is not only deals with the collection of qualitative data but also it can include quantitative data. 3 So, this study employed qualitative as the primary and quantitative as the secondary data.
