b. Open-ended questions
The aim of open-ended questions was to give freedom to the participants to write the answer. These kinds of questions were good,
however it was difficult to code and classify. It meant the researcher
should work harder in order to find the answer.
2. Interview
The aim of interview in this study was to obtain data in details from the participants. The interview allowed the researcher to obtain more
data and clarify some of the data which already existed from the questionnaire.
As Kerlinger 1970 states, interview could be used to follow up unexpected results or to go deeper into the motivations of respondents and
their reasons for responding as they do as cited in Cohen, Manion, Morrison, 2011, p. 411. Thus, the researcher could clarify the students‟
answers in questionnaire and got the clearer answers through interview. Interview in this study was a set of questions which were asked to
the respondents. The answers were recorded which the interviewer was free to modify the sequence of questions, change the wording, explain
them or add to them to the completely informal interview Cohen, Manion, and Morrison; 2011.
By using those instruments, the researcher wanted to figure out the perception of the use of Google Translate by students in XI IPS 1 SMA N 1

Banguntapan in writing exposition text. The data gathering technique was going to be done in two steps.
The first step was the researcher distributed the questionnaire to XI IPS 1 SMA N 1 Banguntapan. The researcher distributed the
questionnaires after observing the class during the PPL. The researcher expected that the students already used Google Translate to help them
doing writing assignments which was given by the researcher as an individual assignment.
The next step was the researcher did the interview with students who always used Google Translate to help them in doing the assignments
and with the students who did not really use Google Translate. This interview was done with expectation the researcher obtained clearer and
reliable data. The researcher was going to interview two learners who have the most positive answer toward Google Translate and other two learners
who have the most negative answer toward Google Translate. The interview was done in two days, with two learners each day and took 20
minutes the most for each learner.
