Table 3.1 Checklist of Verb Phrase Error Types
In addition to the checklist, prior to conducting the interviews, the researcher needed to know who made verb phrase errors the most frequently and variably to
be able to pick the respondents. She employed the table of frequency distribution of error types
see Appendix D for the complete version. This is Table 3.2.

F. Research Procedure
The research began with asking for permission to conduct the research in the Microteaching class from the lecturers who taught the class. With the consent
of carrying out her research, she took the data by copying them from the files kept by the Microteaching class. She tried to collect the data of verb phrase errors she
needed by watching the DVDs containing Microteaching students’ teaching simulations. At first she transcribed the speech of some participants in the
teaching practices. However, because it took too much time for the transcription

31 process, she decided to only transcribe the utterances which contained verb phrase
errors from each participant. After the utterances containing the errors were all collected, the researcher sorted them out by using the checklist. After knowing the
types and some causes of the verb phrase errors, she made some appointments with some selected participants to conduct the interviews. With their consent, she
showed them the types and causes of the errors they had produced and asked for their responses and opinions about the other causes of the errors and suggestions
for coping with the errors. The interviews were carried out on September 29 and 30 and then on October 3, 2011. Finally, the researcher drew conclusions based on
the data analyzed and wrote the final report.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter the researcher is going to present and discuss the research findings. The chapter itself consists of three sections based on the research
questions formulated in the first chapter, namely the errors in English verb phrases that the students made, the causes of those errors, and the suggestions for
coping with the production of the errors.
A. The Errors in English Verb Phrases
1. Data Presentation of the English Verb Phrase Errors
The data which the researcher collected were in the form of speech contained in the video recordings. Therefore, to be able to analyze the data, the
researcher watched the videos and transcribed them. She watched all of the recordings and made the list of all utterances in which verb phrase errors
occurred. The utterances containing verb phrase errors which were enlisted and analyzed were only those made by the participants who were practicing teaching
in front of their Microteaching fellows. When the researcher analyzed the verb phrase errors, she did not include
the same errors which were repeated by the same participant. In addition, she excluded the errors which were not related to English verb phrases, such as those
related to the use of English articles or prepositions. The errors were classified
