28 Considering the second problem formulation of this research, to know
what students’ perceptions on the Scaffolding Strategy used in Extensive Reading II are, the researcher distributed questionnaires and interviewed Extensive
Reading II students. The data from questionnaire were clarified with the data gained from interviewing the students. The data gained from questionnaire and
interviewing the students were classified based on positive response and negative response that the students gave.
F. Research Procedure
There were five main steps in conducting this research. The steps were interviewing Extensive Reading II lecturer, observing Extensive Reading II class,
distributing the questionnaire, interviewing Extensive Reading II students, and analysing and interpreting the data.
1. Interviewing Extensive Reading II Lecturer
First step was conducting an interview for Extensive Reading II lecturer taught Class A and Class C. Interviewing Extensive Reading II lecturer was aimed
at obtaining data of the implementation of Scaffolding Strategy used in Extensive Reading II. The interview was conducted before observing the Extensive Reading
II class.
2. Observing Extensive Reading II Class
Second step was observing Extensive Reading II classes. The observation was conducted in the eleventh and twelfth meeting of Class A and Class C. The
observations were conducted to clarify the data of the implementation of
29 Scaffolding Strategy obtained from interview lecturer of Extensive Reading II.
While observing the class activity, the researcher filled out the observation checklists to record how scaffolding strategy was conducted in the class and to
record the response of the students toward the class activities.
3. Distributing the Questionnaire
On the twelfth week of the course, the researcher distributed a questionnaire to Extensive Reading II students who belonged to Class A and Class
C. This event was the third step. The distribution of the questionnaire took place in the class in which Extensive Reading II was conducted. Considering the
efficiency and the effectiveness in the process of gathering data, the researcher distributed the questionnaire after the class. The questionnaires only took fifteen
to twenty minutes to complete.
4. Interviewing Extensive Reading II Students
Having done with distributing the questionnaire, the researcher interviewed Extensive Reading II students that had the most positive and the most
negative perception on Scaffolding Strategy used in Extensive Reading II. Students that had the most positive and the most negative perception on
Scaffolding Strategy were chosen, because they were believed to provide more and deeper information of students’ perceptions on Scaffolding Strategy used in
Extensive Reading II. The interviewees refused to be interviewed in English. They admitted that they were more comfortable to answer in Bahasa Indonesia
30 because they could understand the question exactly and could explain their answer
a lot.
