D. Research Instruments

The researcher used two kinds of instruments to collect the data. There are classroom observation and pre-test and post-test.

1. Classroom Observation

The observation was used to get the information about the students‟ behaviours and their attitude toward English. In addition, observing the class means observing the English teacher‟s teaching style too. According to Michael 2010, observation in the classroom is used in the context of assessments of the teaching practice during the teaching activity. Michael 2010 states there are four methods of gathering observed data, namely real time observation, audio taping, videotaping, and transcription. However, this research only used real time observation. The observation includes the teacher‟s and students‟ performance, the materials that used in the vocabulary learning and teaching activity. In the students‟ performance the researcher observes the way they work, their interaction and their respond to the teacher, and also their behaviours on the task. After the researcher conducted the observation and got some figures of the condition of the classroom, the researcher could choose the appropriate method which would use to teach the students.
