The Fokus English student worksheets will play most important role as the main data since all processes are conducted on these materials.
3. Informants Here, some information taken from both the publisher of Fokus English
Worksheet and its users—the English teacher and the Elementary school students— are considered as one of key components of valid data. Here
the researcher will use the in—depth interviewing as Bungin 2006:67 states that in-depth interviewing what is in the heart relates to the past, at
present, even in the future can be searched deeply.
D. Technique of Data Collections
Technique of data collection is a method for physically acquiring data to be analyzed in a research Burke and Lary in Hasanah 2007:31. Here in order to
seek data, some techniques are taken by the researchers, they are: 1. Observation
The observation of passive involvement is used since Hoefl 1997:7 suggested that being as unobtrusive as possible and not interacting with
participant in order to get valid data. 2. Document
It is obtained by investigating Fokus English worksheet used by the sixth grade students of SDN Guwokajen 1 Sawit, Boyolali academic year 20072008. In
obtaining the data, the writer used two ways that are: a conducting a cloze test to all students relating with their understanding toward the book and b applying
the Gunning Fox Index and Flesch formula. 3. Interview
In-depth interviewing is done by the researcher in order to get essential information from the respondents. The researcher interviews the teachers and the
students who are involved in teaching and learning processes by using Fokus students’ English worksheets. He also seeks the detailed information from the
54 people who take responsibility in designing the Fokus students’ English
worksheet. All of these are aimed to get essential information about the readability level of Fokus students’ English worksheets from the perspectives of
the users and composers. This opinion is in line with Bungin 2003:67 who states that in-depth interviewing what is in the heart, relates to the past, at present, event
in the future can be searched deeply. Siegle also gives perspective about the nature of in-depth interviewing as
follows: “…. The purpose of in-depth interviewing is not to get answers to
questions, nor to test hypotheses, and not to evaluate. At the root of in- depth interviewing is an interest in understanding the experience of other
people and the meaning they make of that experience 2007:1
In the other word, in-depth of interviewing is the way to reveal something in the heart which is related to the past, at present, even in the future as Bungin
2003:67 states: “Dengan wawancara mendalam, bisa digali apa yang tersembunyi
disanubari seseorang, apakah yang menyangkut masa lampau, masa kini, maupun masa depan”
