in an EFL young learners’ classroom; 2 what are the students’ responses to the use of teacher
’s set induction and closure in an EFL young learners’ classroom? This chapter also covers the subject of the research, the data collections,
the techniques for analyzing the data, and the limitations of the study.
3.1 Research Design
A qualitative method was employed in this study. This study used qualitative approach since it tried to describe rather than to count. It was aimed to describe and
interpret how the teacher ’s act in performing set induction and closure in an EFL
young learners’ classroom and the students’ responses to the use of teacher’s set

3.2 Subject of the Study
The participants of this study were the fifth grade students in a public elementary school in Cimahi. The selection of the school as the study setting was based on the
reason that the school was relatively accessible, both administratively and in term of distance. The class consisted of 42 students, 20 girls and 22 boys. Their ages are
approximately 10-11 years old. In addition, the teacher is not only having a part as researcher but also as a new teacher who performed set induction and closure in
English in the classroom. Furthermore, the example of the lesson plans used in the observation class can be seen in Appendix A.
