2. Data reliability
Triangulation techniques
would be
used to
obtain the
trustworthiness. There are four forms of triangulation technique used in the research as Burns 1999: 164 state. But, there were only three of them
used. They are presented as follows: a. Time triangulation
Time triangulation means that the data are collected over period of time. It is done to get a sense of what factors are involved in change processes.
b. Theoretical triangulation Theoretical triangulation means that the data are analyzed from more
than one perspective from some theoretical views. In this research, the researcher reviewed the theories from some experts of some books.
c. Investigator triangulation In this form, more than one observer is used in the same research setting.
It is done to avoid the bias observation. There are three observers in this study, i.e. the researcher himself, the English teacher, and the
collaborator.
G. Data Analysis Technique
The data were obtained from the actions conducted in the field. The data we
re taken from the result of field notes, interview transcripts, and students’ speaking performance. From this research, the researcher obtained qualitative
55
and quantitative data. To analyze the data, the researcher used the qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis.
The data of the research which were observation results and interview transcripts were analyzed based on the qualitative data analysis as proposed by
Miles and Huberman 1994: 9. The qualitative data was analyzed in some steps. The first step was by collecting all the data such as interview transcripts
and field notes. Then, the second step was data reduction. In this step, the researcher selected limited, simplified, and transformed the data by
summarizing or paraphrasing the interview transcripts and field notes. Then, the next step was data display. The data that was reduced then organized and
compressed. The data display of this research was in the form of text; field notes and interview transcripts.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
A. Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance was conducted to know the problems in the English teaching-learning process of class VIIIA SMP N 1 Nusawungu Cilacap in
academic year 20132014. Thus, the researcher did classroom observations, interview, and discussions with the English teacher. These activities were
carried out in the second semester of the academic year 20132014.
1. Identifying the Field Problems
Based on the observation, interview, and discussion with the teacher, the researcher found that there are some problems during the English teaching-
learning process. Most students had no confidence to speak English. No one answered when the teacher asked the students in English. The teacher often
used Bahasa Indonesia to give explanation and instruction in teaching and learning process to get the students response.
On the other hand, the researcher saw that the activities during the English lesson were boring. Most students looked bored, sleepy, and busy
talking to each other during the class because of the monotonous teaching and learning process. There were rarely speaking activities in the English lesson, so
many of them had lack of practice to speak in English. They only did the written activities such as filling in the blank, making a dialogue, arranging
