pada kondisi aslinya secara alami” 2006: 37. The writer uses this research because it can describe the study such as the human activities of subject
research observed like intention, seriousity and expression of interviewee at the time of doing activities. In addition reason, the research offers the sample

D. Techniques of Collecting Data
In this research, the writer used the techniques as follows:
1. Observation
Observation is an important way to collect information about people, because people do not always do what they have to do. The researcher
observes the process of English teaching by team teaching in the classroom directly but she does not give any treatment. Through
observation, the researcher portray the value of the phenomena and feels the subject feeling. The observation enable the researcher and the
subjects to have shared knowledge.
2. Interview
The researcher conducted in depth-interview for collecting information from headmaster, students, and teachers. Dornyei 2007: 134 states that
interviewing is a frequent part of the social life surrounding most of us: we can hear the interviews on the radio, observe people being
interviewed on television, and we ourselves often participate in

interviews of various types either as interviewers or interviewees. The interview is a quite flexible method of data collection and can be adapted
easily to the variety of situation. The important reason for the flexibility of the method is the presence of the interviewer, who can explore
response with the person being interviewed, ask additional questions to clarify the points, and in general, adjust the interview to the situation. By
conducting interview, the writer can investigate the interviewee’s perception about many things related to the implementation of Team
Teaching and its influence toward the English teaching effectiveness.
3. Document analysis
Document analysis is carried out to all of written information that related with the focus of the study, implicitly and explicitly. The documents that
were analyzed are in the form of syllabus, lesson plan, assessment result, record of students’ progress in learning English, students’ learning
product and the photograph taken during the teaching and learning process.
E. Trustworthiness
Qualitative researchers use rich-thick-description when they write their research reports. Qualitative researchers do not use the terms of validity and
reliability. Instead, they are concerned about the trustworthiness of the research. Before the information from the field is decided as a research data,
the empirical data are examined to gain the conclusion. The technique of data trustworthiness follows a certain criterion.

In this research, the researcher uses four criterions as the techniques of trustworthiness inquiry. They are credibility, transferability, dependability,
and conformability Moleong, 2007:234. In credibility, the researcher seeks the compatibility between the constructed realities that exist in the minds of
the inquiry’s respondents and those that are attributed to them through prolonged engagement: stay in the field until data saturation occurs.
Transferability is the extent to which the findings can be applied in other contexts or with other respondents. Dependability provides its audience with
evidence that if it was replicated with the same respondents in similar context, its finding would be repeated. Conformability is the degree to which the
findings are the product of the focus of the inquiry and not of the biases of the researcher.
