26 techniques. Then, the data from both instruments were mixed in the discussion to
get deeper understanding about the research problems.
B. Research Setting
The research was done in Sanata Dharma University. To test the self- monitoring sheets for weekly meetings, the researcher distributed the sheets two
times, once in two weeks. The distributions of the sheets were done on Thursday, 2 March 2017 and Thursday, 16 March 2017, both were at K.12. Then, the
distribution of self-monitoring sheets for progress test in a form of presentations was done on Thursday, 30 March 2017 at E-Corner.
This opportunity was also used by the researcher to distribute questionnaires. Then, the researcher chose five students to be interviewed based
on their responses to the questionnaires. Then, the interviews with the students were conducted on Monday, 10 April 2017 in the side park of the campus. The
interviews started from 11.00 a.m. and finished at 11.30 a.m.
C. Research Participants
The participants of this research were the students of Critical Listening and Speaking II class, Class A, semester 4, batch 2015. Actually, there were 29
students in the class. However, in the first and second meetings, there was one student in each meeting who was not present. Therefore, even though they filled
27 the self-monitoring sheets, the researcher could not compare their data. Thus, their
data were not valid and there were only 27 students whose data were valid. Then, the researcher distributed the self-monitoring for progress test in a
form of presentations in the same class. However, the same case happened, two students did not come to the meeting. Hence, there were 27 students whose data
were used in the data analysis. Since the researcher distributed the questionnaires in the same day, the participants for the questionnaires were also 27 students in
the class. Then, the researcher chose 5 out of 27 students to be interviewed. The students of Critical Listening and Speaking II were chosen to be the
participants of this research because they had already taken basic courses for speaking skills. In this class, they were required to apply what they had learned in
presenting their ideas i.e. doing impromptu speeches and doing presentations. In hope, by doing these activities, they would be able to enhance their speaking
skills. Also, through the activities given in the class, the aspects in speaking skills that were researched i.e. grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary items and fluency
could be clearly seen by the researcher. Those aspects could also be easily observed by the participants to find out their strengths and weaknesses, as well as
to set their goals for the next meeting.
