Story of Participant 2 He wasa nineteen-year-old boy which has a process to pass his study. He
started learning English since he was around three years old. At that time, he hoped that he could learn more about English but unfortunately he only learned
some vocabularies. It showed that his expectations were limited by a learning system which only taught students about vocabulary. When he was in a junior
high school, he would like to join an English course in order to improve his skills in English. Before continuing his study in Santa Dharma University, he graduated
from SMA 1 Depok Sleman. In his opinion, it was one of favorite schools in Yogyakarta. This also became a reason why he chose the school. He took a social
course in SMA 1 Depok Sleman. He also told his reason why he chose the English study program rather
than other programs. The only reason was just he loved learning language rather than learning math. He got difficulties when he had to deal with many numbers
and formula so he chose language to be learned which was simpler. After that, he decided to continue his study at Sanata Dharma University in the ELESP
program. In his opinion, he knew that it was the best English study program in Yogyakarta University. That was why he joined the ELESP of Sanata Dharma.
When he was interviewed, he was in the fifth semester which meant he got semester fourin the previous. In the semesterfour, he got the CLS 2 class which
emphasized on the integration of listening and speaking skills. He said that learning CLS 2 was about training his listening and speaking skills in more
40 critical ways. Besides,one of lecturers introduced Pecha Kucha to the students in
the CLS 2 class. It was used to take a score in a final test. Therefore, students had to make a presentation or Pecha Kucha to be presented in the class one by one.
Before knowing Pecha Kucha, he just got blind about what Pecha Kucha was. He even had not gotten such way of presentation before he joined the CLS 2 class.
However, after experiencing Pecha Kucha directly, he realized that Pecha Kucha was easier rather than other ways of presentation he ever knew. He said it was
more effective to be implemented in the class in which the students had to manage their time for twenty slides. They had different speech to deliver and students
must speak twenty seconds in each slide. That was why he said it was more effective in managing the speech and preparing the material. He hoped that he
could do such way of presentation which was not boring. In the last, Pecha Kucha was the new way of presentation which must be tried to implement in the class.
3. Story of Participant 3
She was nineteen years old when she was interviewed. She started to learn English in an elementary school. She thought that learning English in the
elementary school was so excited. Sh e got a „killer‟ teacher at that time. In order
to develop her English skills, she also joined an English course when she was in a junior high school. She graduated from SMA PL Van Lith Muntilan. She chose in
a social course when she was in senior high school. She also said about her motivation why she chose the English study program; she loved English since she
was child then it brought her to be right now.
41 She was confused in terms of choosing study programs that she was going
to choose. Firstly, she was going to choose an English Literature or ELESP. Her parents asked her to choose the ELESP of Sanata Dharma with a consideration
that it was also the best study program in Yogyakarta especially the English study program. She also said that the quality of one study program would determine
more students to choose. It happened in Sanata Dharma especially in ELESP. She was one of the students in the CLS 2 class in 2014. She was in the
fifth semester when she was interviewed. She never knew about the learning technique called Pecha Kucha before joining the CLS 2 class. That was the first
time she got the learning technique. She mentioned about her concern before having Pecha Kucha in the class. She said that before learning Pecha Kucha
sometimes she felt bored with many ways of presentation which she had before Pecha Kucha. She hoped that after joining or having Pecha Kucha she would get
something new to to learn and of course it would be more interesting. Then, after experiencing Pecha Kucha, she felt in love with the way of Pecha Kucha was
presented. It was more attracted therefore the students would pay attention to every presentation. It was so challenging also in which students would have many
things to do before Pecha Kucha was begun. Finally, she expected that Pecha Kucha could give a new atmosphere in the learning process in the class.
