needs to move to the next cycle concerning re-planning, re-acting, and re- observing. Therefore, the unfinished problems yet could be solved.
G. The Technique of Collecting the Data
In collecting data, Classroom Action Research CAR uses qualitative data experience-based and quantitative data number-based. The qualitative
data consists of observation within the physical activity in the classroom and interview to be presented for the teacher. On the other side, the quantitative
data uses pre-test and post-test.

The completely explanation is as follows:
1. Observation
Firstly, the writer used the unstructured or opened observation to know the occurrences within learning process. It may be about the
teacher’s performance during Classroom Action Research CAR, class situation as grammar activity, and
students’ response concerning the use of CTL method. In general, all of the needed aspects that should be noticed
are to make sure whether the teaching learning processes were in line with the lesson plan or not.
2. Interview
Before implementing Classroom Action Research, the writer asked the teacher to know students’ difficulties in learning degrees of
comparison of adjectives, and the method or kinds of strategies usually used by the teacher in teaching grammar. The interview carried out after
accomplishing Classroom Action Research CAR to know the teacher ’s
response toward the idea of CTL Method.
3. Test
The test used in this study was pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was done before implementing CTL method. It was
to measure students’ understanding in learning degrees of comparison of adjectives at first.

Meanwhile, the post-test was implemented after using CTL Method. In this study, the test was done in form of multiple choices. The test was held on
every second action of each cycle. In addition, for the need of the research, the writer had done the validity of the pre-test and post-test before and
after CAR by using test validity.
4. Questionnaire
The questionnaire used after and before CAR. It was to know students’ response as a subject of study concerning the action.
Furthermore, the writer used yes no design in making a questionnaire. The followings are the blueprint of questionnaire before and after CAR.
