other language the learner knows. Through comprehension activities the learner can internalize
some vocabulary and some grammatical structures, which will help the learner to understand
more in stage two, when she or she knows enough to actually converse in a simple way. The
result of getting through stage one is that the learner has acquired enough of the basic building
blocks of the language to begin to function in real communication situations in a halting way. In
stage one there is very little real speaking ability, apart from some words and sentences that can
be built on the comprehension exercises. In real communication situations the learner has to
depend on memorized survival phrases to meet the most immediate needs.
Instrumentation
Two questionnaires (Three point Likert type scale) for students and teachers were
developed respectively. Each questionnaire was consisting of ten statements. The questionnaires
were tryout and piloted before finalization. After tryout and piloting questionnaires were
reviewed by three experts and five doctoral research fellows. The reliability coefficients of point
biserial correlation α for teachers’ and students’ questionnaire were 0.91 and 0.89 respectively.
