Processing the Data Research Procedure

40 experienced by the students while doing the Hot Seat. The 22 items of the questionnaire were adapted from Horwitz’s Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale FLCAS;1986. The statements in the questionnaire were slightly changed and modified in the relation with Hot Seat activity. The second part was in the form of essay. The total of question was three questions where the students had to fill in the space provided to retell their experiences and feelings. The focus of this part was also to investigate the indication of feeling anxious when they experienced Hot Seat activity and how they overcame their own anxious indication. After retelling their experiences, in the third question, the participants were also asked to give their opinions about the improvement in Hot Seat activity. The questionnaire sheets were distributed to the Critical Listening and Speaking II classes. The researcher got permission to do the research in four classes. Lecturer 1 taught 3 classes: A6, B6, C6 and lecturer 2 taught 1 class: F6. In which, the total of participants whom participated in filling the questionnaire were 100 participants. In the modified FLCAS given to the participants, it consisted of two kinds of statement which were positive and negative. The positive statement scale ranged from 1-4 with answer “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree”. While, the negative statement would be ranging from 4-1 with answer “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree”. There were 9 positive statements in the questionnaire which are number 4, 41 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 19, and 20. While, the negative statements were 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 16, 18, 21, and 22. The Likert’s scoring scale table to measure students’ anxiety level using FLCAS is shown below: Table 4.1 Likert’s Scoring Table Horwitz et al.:1986 Statement Scoring Strongly Disagree Disagree Agree Strongly Agree Negative 1 2 3 4 Positive 4 3 2 1 After encoding the data manually based on the table above, the researcher made the percentage on how many participants chose the Likert’s level of agreement on a statement. The table below is the percentage result from FLCAS of student’s perception to investigate the speaking anxiety of each statement. Table 4.2 The Result of FLCAS No Statements Percentage SD D A SA 1.
