A. Research Method
This research is a survey research. According to Nunan 1994, “A survey is widely used for collecting data in most areas of social inquiry, from politics to
social, from education to linguistic.” Meanwhile, Walter stated that survey research is a means of gathering information that describes the nature and extent
of a specified data ranging from physical counts and frequencies to attitudes and opinion. Another theory, Merriam 2009 stated that “Survey or descriptive
designs are intended to systematically describe the facts and characteristics of a given phenomenon or the relationships between events and phenomena.”
In this study, the survey is a qualitative research since the researcher provides the results and findings in descriptive form. According to Punch 2001,
“As a qualitative example, the research has been seen as a survey, focusing on interpretations, meanings and the cultural significance of some behavior.” This
research will be done by distributing some questionnaires to some English teachers to get their perception on 2006 Curriculum implementation. Merriam
2009 stated that “A qualitative researchers are interested in understanding how

17 people interpret their experiences, how they construct their worlds, and what
meaning they attribute to their experiences.” Same as Merriam, Denzin and Lincoln 2005 defined a qualitative research as a situated activity that locates the
observer in the world. From this theorist, it can be concluded that a qualitative research is related to the world, in which people are involved inside, included
their interpretation of what they had done.
B. Research Participants
