pronunciation. On the other hand, they had good understanding of English. They only showed their ability in English in the written communication, while the
curriculum required the students to participate actively both orally and written.
D. Instruments and Data Gathering Technique
In conducting this research, the researcher used some research instruments to collect the data. The instruments used in this research were observation, field
notes, questionnaire, interview, and pronunciation tests.
1. Observation
In conducting this research, observation was really needed. The observation was used to know the real condition in the classroom during the implementation
of the action. Besides, through observation the responses from the students toward the action implemented could be seen. During the implementation of the action,
the researcher positioned as observer as well. In observing the action, the researcher was helped by outside observers.
To collect the information related to the action and the responses of the students, the researcher used observation checklists. The researcher asked the
outside observers to fill the observation checklist.
2. Field Notes
In conducting this research, the researcher also used field notes. The researcher asked help to the outside observers to make field notes during the
implementation. Bogdan and Biklen 2003, p. 110 describe field notes as “the
written account of what the researcher hears, sees, experiences, and thinks in the
course of collecting and reflecting on the data in qualitative study .” The outside
observers recorded the situation in the classroom and the response of the students during the implementation of the action. In the field notes, the observers also
wrote the problem in the action that should be revised in the next cycle.
3. Questionnaire
Wallace 2010, p. 124 mentions that “in questionnaires, the questions are
usually set out in a very systematic way, and very often the questionnaire is answered by reading questions, and then ticking responses, or writing in short
answer .”
To know whether the use of movies in improving students‟ pronunciation was successful or not, the researcher distributed the questionnaire to the students.
In the questionnaire, the researcher used Likert Scale in which the response of the students toward the action based on the scale of agreement and disagreement.
Besides using Likert Scale, the researcher also used open-ended questions to give opportunity to the students in explaining their response or opinion about the action
implemented. The researcher gave the questionnaire to the students after the
implementation of the action. The students were asked to fill the questionnaire based on their opinion and experience during the action.
