The Teacher’s Reason for the Learning Technique of Translation
50
The researcher distributed the questionnaire right after the teacher finished conducting the learning activities. In this study, the researcher managed to
distribute and collect the questionnaire in 10 meetings from 14 fourteen meetings of English reading class he observed. The researcher was not able to
distribute the questionnaire to the first, third, seventh, and ninth meetings of English reading class he observed. The researcher’s failure in distributing and
collecting the questionnaire was because of limited time he had. In those meetings, the teacher finished learning activities when the periods nearly ended so
that students did not have enough time to answer the question in the questionnaire. This subchapter is divided into three parts based on students’ general
responses to the learning activities. The researcher classified students’ responses into three groups of response; they are positive response, negative response and
undecided response. The undecided response refers to response which is a combination response between positive and negative response. In one meeting, all
kinds of responses always occur with the different number of students who give the responses. The data on students’ responses are presented in Tables 4.1 and
Table 4.2.
