ABSTRACT
Yulianto, Hanung. (2016). Pecha Kucha in Learning CLS 2: A Phenomenological
Study.Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Department of
Language and Arts, Faculty of Teachers and Training and Education, Sanata
Dharma University
A presentation is one of the techniques that is used in a learning activity.
Students of Critical Listening and Speaking 2 actively contributed in the
presentation in the class. There was a new way of presentation with twenty slides
which was called Pecha Kucha. It allowed presenters to speak in twenty seconds
in each slide. The use of students presentation like Pecha Kucha in the CLS 2
class gives meanings to the students. It supports students experiences toward
their self-development.
The researcher investigated students experiences in the implementation of
Pecha Kucha in the CLS 2 class. The research was intended to identify meanings
of Pecha Kucha based on students experiences. The research was aimed to
explain students experiences by answering a research question. It was what Pecha
Kucha means to students in the CLS 2 class.
The researcher conducted in-depth interview to three participants about
their lived-experiences regarding Pecha Kuchas implementation in the CLS 2
class using a phenomenological research method. The results of the interview
were processed and analyzed by Moustakas phenomenological steps.
As the result, the research showed participants stories and interpretations
regarding the implementation of Pecha Kucha technique in the CLS 2 class. There
were five general themes which appeared from the data elaborated. They were
creativity, self-development, effective learning, adaptation and opportunity. The
creativity was built from materials which were organized by students. Pecha
Kucha helped students self-developments. They were self-efficacy, improvisation
skills, self-confidence, and self-evaluation. The effective learning happened in
Pecha Kucha since students actively participated. Students were trained to use a
new way of presentation. Furthermore, Pecha Kucha provided many opportunities
for students to learn.

Presentasi merupakan salah satu teknik yang digunakan dalam kegiatan
pembelajaran. Ada teknik presentasi baru dengan dua puluh tampilan yang
disebut Pecha Kucha yang mana para pembicara harus berbicara selama dua
puluh detik per tampilannya. Para siswa berkontribusi secara aktif dalam
presentati di kelas. Penggunaan presentasi seperti Pecha Kucha di kelas CLS 2
memberikan beberapa makna kepada para siswa.Pecha Kucha juga mendukung
pengalaman para siswa guna pengembangan diri.
Peneliti menginvestigasi pengalaman tiga partisipan terhadap penerapan
Pecha Kucha di kelas CLS 2. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengidentifikasi
apa macam-macam perkembangan diri yang dialami para murid terutama dalam
penggunaan teknik Pecha Kucha. Penelitian ini ditujukan untukmenjelaskan
pengalaman-pengalaman para murid dengan menjawab rumusan masalah
yakniApa arti Pecha Kucha untuk para murid di kelas CLS 2?
Peneliti menggunakan wawancara mendalam kepada ketiga partisipan
tentang pengalaman hidup mereka terkait dengan penerapan Pecha Kucha di
kelas CLS 2 menggunakan metode penelitian fenomenologi. Hasil dari
wawancara akan diproses dan dianalisa dengan menggunakan langkah-langkah
fenomenologi dari Moustakas.
Sebagai hasilnya, peneliti memaparkan cerita dari partisipan dan
tafsirannya berhubungan dengan penerapan teknik Pecha Kucha di kelas CLS 2.
Ada lima tema umum yang didapat dari elaborasi data yaitu kreativitas,
pengembangan diri, pembelajaran efektif, adaptasi, dan kesempatan. Kreativitas
dibangun dari penyusunan materi dari para siswa. Pecha Kucha membantu
perkembangan diri siswa diantaranya keyakinan diri, kemampuan improvisasi,
kepercayaan diri, dan evaluasi diri. Pembelajaran efektif terjadi di Pecha Kucha
selama para siswa ikut serta secara aktif. Para siswa juga dilatih untuk
menggunakan cara baru berpresentasi. Selanjutnya, Pecha Kucha memberikan
banyak kesempatan untuk para siswa untuk belajar.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides an introduction of the study. It consists of a research
background, a research problem, problem limitations, research objectives,
research benefits, and definition of terms. They provide some information related
to the research topic.
A. Research Background
There are some activities that are applied in a speaking class. There are
also some effective techniques to teach the speaking class. They are presentation,
small discussions, debates, songs and games. One of the challenging activities to
train students speaking skill is having presentation individually. However, an
individual presentation is an opportunity for a person to get some practices in
speaking in front of a group.The English Language Education Study Program of
Sanata Dharma University provides students with Critical Listening and Speaking
2 (CLS 2) in the fourth semester. It is a course with an integrated learning which
focuses on a development of the listening and speaking skill. In CLS 2, there was
a teaching technique called Pecha Kucha which was similar to havea presentation
individually with twenty slides. According to Dytham (2015), it is
a presentation style in which twenty slides are shown for twenty seconds each (six
minutes and forty seconds in total).
The development of the speaking skill in theEnglish Language Education
Study Program or ELESP especially for students needs to be improved through
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation
2
creative ways. One of those creative ways is having Pecha Kucha as the new
presentation technique to develop their speaking skill. The researcher tries to
investigate the implementation of Pecha Kucha because it is important that
developments of students speaking skills need to be improved by having Pecha
Kucha. It also provides some benefits which students can get after practicing
Pecha Kucha. Implementing Pecha Kucha will also help some elements of a
learning process like teachers and learners. Teachers need an alternative way to
teach the speaking class in which it can create a fun and active class. Besides,
students are provided by a technique in which they have to prepare well and be
creative in designing materials.
Pecha Kucha is categorized as a new learning technique specifically in a
scope of speaking. It was firstly implemented in the ELESP especially in the CLS
2 class for students in batch 2013. It trained students to speak a lot in a limited
time because they had many slides in that technique. That was why students had
to think creatively and prepare well to have Pecha Kucha. After finishing the
preparation, students practiced it in front of the class; it showed how well students
managed their speech slide by slide. Moreover, students faced many difficulties in
delivering the speech because they had to focus on some slides. It proved whether
the students were ready or not for their prepared material. Moreover, the essence
of the presentation itself must be delivered successfully. Therefore, the audience
can achieve the presentation easily. Lowe and Phill (1994) state that the clearest
way to think about is that reports are read and presentations are listened to. A
person who reads a report can skip backwards and forwards, reread to check

understanding, or absorb the information in comfortable chunks. If the listeners
are listening to a presentation, it means they are driven by the presenter.
Students need an interesting way of teaching especially for the speaking
class. In the CLS 2 class, most of the techniques that were used in class were not
too interesting for students. Pecha Kucha came up with a new atmosphere which
could help students for not being bored easily. It was more practical to be
implemented in a speaking class as done in the CLS 2. The students were not
burdened too much in preparing materials for the Pecha Kucha. They just needed
to prepare some pictures with a few texts in their slides. It was more interesting
and practical for students especially for those who learned to master speaking
skills.
Having presentation in front of the class individually like Pecha Kucha
gives more chances for students to speak and explore more about what is
becoming their intention. They individually develop materials which are going to
present in the Pecha Kucha. Then, students learn how to deal with kinds of speech
preparation before having the presentation. Students have experiences regarding
the use of Pecha Kucha as the learning technique more specifically at the
experience of having speech in which the material is already prepared.
B. Research Problem
In this globalization era, the ability of speaking is a necessity. It became
the fundamental reason to communicate with others orally using English.
Unfortunately, students have some problems when they want to have a good
speaking skill. They have to take additional courses especially English
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

conversation in their extracurricular which sometimes plays small roles to build
their speaking skill. That problem makes students look for some ways which can
help them to improve their speaking skill. Presentation becomes an alternative
technique for students to train their speaking skill. Presentation does not only
force them to speak a lot but also they have to think critically and prepare what
they are going to say. Pecha Kucha gave experiences to the students like what
Pecha Kucha did in CLS 2. Therefore, the focus of this research was
What does using Pecha Kucha mean to students in CLS 2 class?
C. Problem Limitation
The research focused on the students who became participants and the
class where Pecha Kucha was conducted. The students who contributed to this
research were taken from ELESP students in the CLS 2 class. The researcher only
tookthe three participants who representeda high achiever, a mid achiever and a
low achiever. It aimed to avoid same representation or opinion from certain levels
of students. Furthermore, the researcher focused on students speaking class. In
the CLS 2, there were two classes which were conducted. They were the listening
and speaking class.
This research is focusing on students experiences using Pecha Kucha as a
learning technique applied in the CLS 2 class. Students experiences became the
focus of the research. There were also some activities applied in the class but the
concern of this research only focused on the use of Pecha Kucha. The researcher
limited the discussion based on the students experiences rather than researchers
views.

D. Research Objectives
The research was aimed to explain and interpret students experience of
learning Pecha Kucha in the CLS 2 class. As in a phenomenological study which
emphasizes on someones lived experience, the objective of the study was to find
out what were the students experiences regarding the implementation of Pecha
Kucha. The research showed how students deal with Pecha Kucha in the class.
The researcher also looked for some explanations from the respondents on how
they underwent their experiences.
E. Research Benefits
There are some benefits which can be achieved from the research. It is
directed to ELESP students, lecturers and future researchers. They deal with some
problems with speaking developments through certain ways and aspects. This
study could be a self-reflection to students abilities in the presentation especially
in the context of using Pecha Kucha. This study shows that Pecha Kucha trained
students to have a good preparation in which presentations content should be
well-organized.
The second direction of this research is for an ELESP lecturer who is in
charge of a speaking class. The study proves that Pecha Kucha could be one of the
alternative ways to be used in the English teaching as a learning technique
especially for the lecturer who teaches the speaking class. This study also gives
information about something different in a language teaching. The students were
curious with the new technique applied in the speaking class. Then, the students
felt enthusiastic to join the activity. Indirectly, the teachers who always tried to
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
6
find something new would attract the students to participate in their teaching
because nowadays students would like to have something new.
The researcher hoped that this study could inspire other researchers to
investigate other new presentation technique like Pecha Kucha. Moreover, it
would give more benefits for next researchers as a source and additional
information about Pecha Kucha.
F. Definition of Terms
1. Critical Listening and Speaking 2
According to Buku Panduan Akademik edisi keenam (2011), this course is
offered in the fourth semester. The prerequisite course is Critical listening and
Speaking 1. On completing the course, the students will be able to employ
strategic skills, to comprehend advanced, extended discourse such as news
reports, narratives, expository passages, paraphrase, take notes and summarize
advanced extended discourse such as news reports, narratives, and expository
passages. Afterwards, the students will be able to give oral critical response and
reflection based on the given topics in the form of short individual or group
presentation. Here, the listening and speaking class are learnt separately so that
there will be two meetings in a week.The CLS 2 is categorized as an integrated
activity which consists of listening and speaking skill. For further explanation
about the integrated listening and speaking skill, the researcher elaborated more in
the theoritical description. In this study, the focus was on the speaking class which
conducted Pecha Kucha as a learning technique.

2. Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha or Pechakucha is the Japanese words for conversation or
chit-chat. It was aimed to seek a way to encourage presenters to use Power
Point in a more organized manner. According to Dytham (2015), it is
a presentation style in which twenty slides are shown for twenty seconds each (six
minutes and forty seconds in total). Few words are used with relevant pictures and
graphics being ordered in the PowerPoint. Pecha Kucha is designed to force
speakers to prepare shorter, more creative and more polished Power Point
presentation. Because Pecha Kucha slides progress automatically, the presenter
cannot stop to advance a slide manually or go back to a previous slide. This forces
the presenter to practice his presentation, a step that many speakers tend to skip
when they know they are simply reading slides aloud to the audience. More
importantly, designing Pecha Kucha presentation motivates speakers to think
about their subjects in very different ways. Generally, Pecha Kucha can be
implemented for a presentation in a seminar and other similar occasions. In this
study, the implementation of Pecha Kucha was only limited especially to be
practiced in the language learning for students in the CLS 2 class. The Pecha
Kucha presentation method is very effective as a cure for death by PowerPoint,
which refers to a common disease at conferences and in language classrooms
brought about by boredom and fatigue when too many and too complex
PowerPoint slides are used (Tomsett & Shaw, 2014). Therefore, the Pecha Kucha
style also could be implemented as a way of presentation in the language teaching.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the researcher discussed two parts. The first part was
talking about a theoretical description; it emphasized on the theories that
supported the discussion of the topic. The second part was talking about the
theoretical framework which constructed the theories how students experienced
the implementation of Pecha Kucha.
A. Theoretical Description
In the theoretical description, the researcher provided seven parts in the
connection of the related literature. The researcher reviewed theories of language
learners, speaking skills, integrated listening and speaking skill, presentation,
material, and Pecha Kucha. Then, it came up with the theoretical framework
which relates all reviewed theories and a concept of the research.
1. Type and Aspect of Presentation
There are some considerations in developing a presentation. According to
Matthews (1994), in his book Speaking Solution: Interaction, Presentation,
Listening and Pronunciation Skills, in starting to develop a presentation,
presenters need to consider their speaking situation in terms of the following:
selecting a subject, narrowing the subject to a topic, analyzing the audience and
meeting special guidelines. They can also determine how well a person does the
presentation.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
9
Each aspect of presentation should be regarded by a presenter in order to
make the presentation well-organized to be delivered. There are some factors that
are influencing students performance in having presentation. The first factor is
the condition when the presentations are made such as physical setting and layout,
the approach taken to questions and comments, ground rules and etiquette. The
second is the strategy applied by the students to communicate their material
effectively to the audiences. The third is the impact of listening and presenting
experiences. The last is the role pre-presentation guidance and post-presentation
feedback.
The presentation itself is an activity in which someone shows, describes or
explains something to a group of people. There are various kinds of individual
presentation. One of the newest techniques of presentation is that Pecha Kucha.
According to Dytham (2015), Pecha Kucha is a simple presentation format where
a presenter shows twenty images, each for twenty seconds. The images forward
automatically and the presenter talks along the images. To finish the presentation,
it will spend six minutes forty seconds in total twenty pictures. The presentation is
created using Power Point or any other presentation software.
a. Materials
A material plays an important role for teaching especially in teaching
speaking. In Pecha Kucha, a teacher gives task to students to make their own
materials individually. The students have to prepare twenty images or pictures in
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
10
an automatic slide then they have to speak regarding each picture. Sometimes, it
needs written and oral materials to be prepared before conducting Pecha Kucha.
The materials of Pecha Kucha given by a teacher are developed by
students individually. This can be categorized as a Task-Based Approach which
means the teacher gives task towards the students. Task-based learning (TBL) is
an approach for foreign language (L2) learning and teaching. It is also a teaching
methodology in which classroom tasks constitute the main focus of instructions
(Richards, Schmidt, Platt, 2003).
b. Pecha Kucha
Students presentations enable students to learn from their peers and
provide an opportunity to organize materials for a public presentation. Many
students choose to use PowerPoint for their presentations, but then read straight
from the slides or put too much information on each slide. The focus of the
present study is to examine students interest and retention of presented material
using Pecha Kucha, a new presentation style designed to minimize some of the
old behavior of traditional PowerPoint presentations.
1) A brief history of Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha is a presentation style in which twenty slides are shown for
twenty seconds each (six minutes and forty seconds in total). The presentation
format was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham
architecture. Sometimes, there were some meetings to have such kind of
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentationhttp://klein-dytham.com/http://klein-dytham.com/
11
presentation or Pecha Kucha format in certain countries which called Pecha
Kucha Night. It was attended by some people who came from different countries.
The first Pecha Kucha Night was held in Tokyo in their gallery, lounge,
bar and club in February 2003. The Klein Dytham architecture still organizes and
supports the global Pecha Kucha Night network and organizes Pecha Kucha Night
Tokyo (Dytham, 2015). It means that the development of Pecha Kucha around the
world is still growing.
2) Pecha Kucha and the traditional presentation
Now, Pecha Kucha Night is conducted in over 700 cities around the world.
People can share about everything which they have planned in a Pecha Kucha
format. It is different from an ordinary presentation which is only focused on a
long speech. It will take time and some audiences may feel bored. Moreover,
people can show and share their works in a relaxed way. It is not only in an
educational institution in which Pecha Kucha used but also in the office and a
public seminar.
Few studies have examined Pecha Kucha as a Power Point presentation
style. Beyer (2011) rates student class presentations that were either Pecha Kucha
or traditional text-based PowerPoint (text and images on slides) and also had
students rate their peers presentations. Both Pecha Kucha and the traditional
presentation emphasized on the giving attention to other presentations.
Beyer finds that Pecha Kucha presentations had higher instructor ratings of
eye contact, visuals and overall presentation quality compared to student
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
12
PowerPoint presentations. Although Beyer (2011) demonstrates that Pecha Kucha
improves aspects of students presentation quality as compared to traditional
PowerPoint, the study design had limited an experimental control.
3) Benefits of Pecha Kucha
The timing and style of Pecha Kucha improves student presentations. The
automatization and fast pace of the slides forces the presenter to be organized in
order to capture each slides message. The selection of imagery used can support
key points and the presenters verbal message is not competing with the slide
text(Eves & Davis, 2008). Previous research has identified ineffective PowerPoint
presentation issues, such as the presenters message that is not mapping onto the
slide text, the presenter that is reading from slide, or issues about font text size on
the slides (Eves & Davis, 2008).
Pecha Kucha becomes superior to traditional Power Point presentations in
terms of learning. Mayer, Moreno, Boire, Vagge (1999), show that individuals
who were presented large clips of alternating auditory and visual information
perform worse than those who have concurrent clips or small alternating auditory
and visual clips. Pecha Kucha is the presentation that reduces cognitive loads.
Students face some problems when they have to speak with many words and
points stated in their slides.
Learning to do Pecha Kucha also gives students better visual design
literacy. After all, Pecha Kucha was developed by architects Mark Dytham and
Astrid Klein as a creative presentation style (Klein Dytham, 2015).After preparing

a Pecha Kucha presentation, students have better visual design skills as a result of
preparing each image to map their intended message with visually no text on the
slides. According to Tomsett & Shaw (2014), Pecha Kucha presentations as used
in the classroom are also a form of creative revision where each student helps
other class members by giving a personal perspective, with researched evidence
on a selected topic.
4) Pecha Kucha as an effective presentation
Learning will be most effective when the learning experiences are
satisfying and the learners feel they are accomplishing some desired or
worthwhile goals (Risk, 1958). Klentzin, Paladino, Johnson and Devine (2009)
state that Pecha Kucha is effective as traditional Power Point presentations for
students retention of lecture information. Klentzin and colleagues findings
suggest that Pecha Kucha can more succinctly present information at the same
quality level as a longer Power Point format with no immediate differences in
student learning of the material. Pecha Kucha is a technique which helps students
to grab meanings through a short speech in each slide.
The audience does not have texts on the Pecha Kucha slide to reinforce the
point made by the presenter. Having a limited text is more appealing to an
audience. As previous research has found, students can be distracted from what
the speaker is saying (Savoy, Proctor, Salvendy, 2012). Additionally, students
using Pecha Kucha may also have an advantage of a generation effect versus
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
14
reading from a slide that has been shown to improve recognition (Slamecka &
Graf, 1978).
Pecha Kucha offers a shorter time frame for student presentations and has
advantages to the presentations. Therefore, the presentation is more practiced and
engaging for the audience (Beyer, 2011). With automated slides, students Pecha
Kucha presentations are always completed in the set time limit. It means that the
time consuming can be managed in every Pecha Kucha.
Images are the key to an effective Pecha Kucha. Trying to find images that
are illustrations or metaphors of key points and/or use words-as-image makes
delivery of the presentation much easier. It is not trying to race through a list of
points. It also makes the presentation more engaging. This is why Pecha Kucha is
so successful. It is not the timing but the fact that it leads presenters to use the best
practice in creating presentations that are visually strong and appealing (Genzuk,
2012).
2. Language learners
The point of learning includes learning how to diagnose ones own need
for learning and how to be a self-learner. This type of learning, Pecha Kucha,
enables students to continue learning with a greater effectiveness and is a
particularly important skill with the recent explosion of knowledge and
technology (Wirth and Perkins, 2008). Pecha Kucha, as a new way of
presentation, can be adapted in language learning in terms of using it as a learning
technique especially in a speaking practice.

15
a. Definition and role of learners
Since the participants were English learners in Sanata Dharma University,
they had roles as learners in class. A learner is someone who learns from teachers.
In class, there are two kinds of learning. They are teacher-centered and learner-
centered. Savin, Baden, and Major (2004),state that learners take the initiative to
diagnose their learning needs, formulate learning goals, identify resources for
learning, select learning strategies, and evaluate learning outcomes. Learners
need encouragement and they need to know when they are making mistakes that
cause other people misunderstand them.
Teachers serve as the center of knowledge. They are directing the learning
process and controlling student's access to information. The focus is almost
exclusively on what is learnt. Students learning becomes the main preoccupation
of the teacher. This does not include his/her performance as a teacher or a raw
number of facts to be transmitted to the students. The teacher gives example on
how Pecha Kucha is conducted by showing some videos. Teacher also directs
students to do Pecha Kucha appropriately.
According to Newby, Stepich, Lehman, and Russel (2000), there are
changes on the roles of learners in a learner-centered environment. The learners
become active in looking for some information and learning experiences. They
determine what is needed and try to find some ways to get the information. Then,
learners are also contributing in a source of information. They also try to explore
and discover a problem solving for their learning. The last is a consideration of
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
16
learners which see teacher as a source of information and knowledge. Pecha
Kucha trains students to be independent in developing their own material.
Technology has allowed individuals to obtain, assemble, analyze and
communicate information in more detail and at a much faster pace than ever
before possible (Kastuhandani, 2011). As a globalization effect, students are more
sophisticated in using computer to assist them in a learning process. It also plays
a role to help students learning effectively in a classroom. The mosteffective uses
of computer in a classroom are for accessing information and interpreting,
organizing and representing personal knowledge (Jonassen, 2000). Therefore,
students as users of computer can make the use of computer and adopt some
information on it.
b. Language learning
Students who learn their second language mean they learn literally aspects
of its language. Literacy is defined as the ability to use language and images in
rich and varied forms to read, write, listen, view, represent and think critically
about ideas. It involves the capacity to access, manage, and evaluate information;
to think imaginatively and analytically, and to communicate thoughts and ideas
effectively.
There have been calls for new kinds of learning from many different parts
of society (Fink, 2003). Learning language is different from other types of
learning. It is the process by which the language capability develops in a human.
Language learning is not communicative. It is the result of direct instruction in the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
17
rules of language. In the language learning, students have conscious knowledge of
the new language and can talk about that knowledge (Haynes, 2005).
3. Speaking skills
According to Clark and Clark (1997), speaking is fundamentally an
instrumental act. Widdowson (1984) says that speaking is the active or productive
skill. Based on these two definitions, it can be concluded that speaking is an
interaction between two people or more. Speaking is commonly defined as the
activity of delivering speech which is conducted because there is a particular
message intended to be transmitted. Harmer (1991) states that there are some
purposes of someone doing communication: people want to speak, people have
some communicative purpose the selects from his language store, people want to
listen to something and they are interested in the communicative purpose of what
is being said. According to Chaney and Burk (1998), speaking is the process of
building verbal and non-verbal symbols. In order to succeed in conveying the
message, speakers must learn some principles and strategies of public speaking.
Grice and Skinner (2006) mention that there are two principles of public
speaking that can be applied everywhere. In the first place, the more effective
preparation is, the better the speech will be. Therefore, what to do before
delivering speech is crucial. In the second place, public speaking is a mixture of
content, organization and delivery. They are independent to each other and that
means the success of delivering speech relies on the abilities to synchronize those
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
18
three elements. The way of students deliver their speech in front of public depends
on some important parts.
One of the successful ways to make speaking practice delivered well is
speaking confidently. Gaining self-confidence and courage and the ability to think
calmly and clearly while talking to a group is not one-tenth as difficult as most
people imagine (Carnegie, 1991). Some people said that talking in front of public
was difficult therefore some solutions came up to help them talking confidently.
Speaking confidence is not only regarded from verbal abilities but also the
physical abilities.
Harris (1974) mentions there are five components of language that
influence speaking ability. Pronunciation is very important in speaking. It can
influence meaning of word if it is said inappropriately. Hornby (1995) says that
pronunciation is the way in which a language is spoken, the way in which a word
is pronounced, the way a person speaks the words of language.
Mastering grammar knowledge will help one in speaking English, because
people will know how to arrange word in sentence, what tense will be used, how
to use appropriate utterance. Grammar also determines what times people used in
expressing an event. It could be past, present, and future. Each tense has different
patterns which allow English learners master the sixteen tenses.
Mastering vocabulary is the first step to speak English. If people do not
master vocabulary, the intention will not be delivered. Vocabulary is the basic
need to learn other languages because people have to know the meanings of words
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
19
to be translated in other languages. Correct meanings of words will also determine
other peoples understanding.
In speaking, people must speak fluently. Therefore, listeners are able to
response what other people are saying. The fluency of a person in speaking also
shows a clear explanation or speech that is given. The fluency of speaking also
affects correct pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. People who tend to speak
fluently pay attention carefully to those three parts of English components.
Comprehension is needed because it will cause misunderstanding between
speaker and listener. If people do not know what they are saying, communication
cannot run well. This supports how people understand each other about what they
are saying.
According to Richard and Hodgson (1975), improvisation is the meaning
of training people to think. The thing is required during improvisation is thinking
within a situation, or thinking about a situation after it has been experienced.
Improvisation also needs creativity to face an unexpected situation when people
get lost in speaking. Improvisation is a set of exercises, principles and a mindset
that is thought spontaneously and creatively (Mitchell, 2010).
4. Integrated listening and speaking skills
According to Bueno, Madrid, McLaren(2006), listening is important for
speaking because it establishes the good basis for successful communicative
exchanges. Mostly, students start to hear and then they continue with speaking.
Integrated activities also provide opportunities for much needed pupil behavioral-
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
20
interaction described by Lynch and Cicchetti (1997). Here, students are given
chance to identify their behavior done in a listening and speaking class.
In the same way, a good writer is a good reader and a good speaker is also
a good listener. This rule is generally applicable to second language (L2) learners
and it has to do with the correlation between productive (writing and speaking)
and receptive (reading and listening) skills (Bueno et al. 2006). Students who
listen carefully and grab meanings from someones speech will also determine
their speaking ability.
In order to be able to demonstrate comprehensible meaning, students need
to get relevant and meaningful input either from listening or reading. Therefore,
they do not only acquire full understanding of the messages being spoken but also
the model to communicate them in the appropriate speaking context (Floriasti,
2014). The students need to get input or information by listening to other sources
then deliver it by uttering to others. Rivers (1996) in Osada (2004) says that
speaking does not constitute communication unless what is being said is
comprehended by another person.
Therefore, ideally, students get input from listening skill how to speak
accurately and fluently. It can be stated that students need more practical
activities. They should provide students with more listening practice and input
from listening materials and audio-visual media. They contain good models of
accuracy, fluency, pronunciation, rhythm, intonation, grammar and standard rate
of delivery. As Dunckel (1991) says that although it has become generally
accepted practice to provide beginning-level learners with a considerable amount
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
21
of comprehensible input. Students need to have a good listening model in order to
get a better input. The focus of integrated listening and speaking skills here is on
the relation between input and output.
B. Theoretical Framework
The integration of teaching listening and speaking gives students a chance
to become active English learners. The implementation of presentation in
speaking class bridges students to develop their English speaking skills. Through
presentation, they also have strong motivation to come up with their creativity. In
speaking class, Pecha Kucha helps students to provide a material which is created
creatively. It is done by having enough preparation before conducting the
presentation. During Pecha Kucha, students are trained to think widely and
creatively in order to limit their speech in certain times.
There are some challenges in conducting Pecha Kucha as a learning
technique implemented among the students. They try to problematize how Pecha
Kucha can run well in the class. The challenges are from the student and their
teacher who adapt Pecha Kucha to be a learning technique. The lack of
preparation is a problem which is usually faced by students. Pecha Kucha helps
students to be creative in having speech when they forget with their material.
The implementation of Pecha Kucha gives chances to students to develop
their self-confidence in a speaking class. The students face some challenges
during the material development until conducting the Pecha Kucha. They arrange
their material individually. This allows students to be more confident in
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
22
developing their material. As a presenter, the student develops their own material
based on their language style which still focuses on the topic provided. Doing
presentation using Pecha Kucha in front of the class bridges students to
communicate with others confidently. It is aimed to gain students self-confidence
when they are speaking in public.
An interaction happens among students in speaking class. It creates a good
atmosphere in a learning process. Pecha Kucha helps to build an effective learning
since it is practiced well. It has some goals which are already planned before
conducting Pecha Kucha. The goals are good achievements from students in
planning their material, the ability to deliver their material, the ability to have
improvisation during Pecha Kucha and the ability to evaluate them after Pecha
Kucha. An effective learning happens when students and teachers have same
plans and goals.
Pecha Kucha also allows students to be inspired by other students
material. It means students can adapt the way other students are presenting their
material in front of the class. They can also identify the ways which are used to
speak in a limited time. This helps students to get inspired by others who are
conducting Pecha Kucha with certain topics. The students choose the best way
they can do therefore they have a better presentation in the next.
The new way of presentation that is introduced in CLS 2 class gives
opportunities to the students to express themselves. Conducting Pecha Kucha
individually trains students to be more independent in developing materials. This
also can help students to elaborate what becomes their intention to be delivered in
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
23
Pecha Kucha. The success of delivering material will be determined by each
student in the class individually.
The researcher intentionally provided construct of the research. In order to
geta clear explanation, the researcher constructed ideas of how students gave
meanings toward the implementation of Pecha Kucha. Based on students
experiences, students built their own beliefs regarding the implementation of
Pecha Kucha in CLS 2 class. The students also experienced some activities
applied in CLS 2 which facilitated them to have a presentation and public
speaking. Then, the researcher discussed students beliefs about Pecha Kucha
which brought them to the implementation of it. Using Pecha Kucha in CLS 2
allowed students to give meanings toward the applications, advantages and
disadvantages. They also could identify their problems or mistakes they face
during Pecha Kucha. Finally, based on students views, those experiences also
gave improvements and discouragements for themselves. The construct of the
research was drawn systematically as follow.

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the explanation of methodology which is used for
combining some theories in the theoretical description and theoretical framework.
There are some points which are included in the methodology. Those are research
method, research setting, research participants, instrument and data gathering, data
analysis techniques and research procedure. All of those are presented
systematically in order to get clear understanding and explanation.
Sherman and Webb (1988) say that a qualitative research implies direct
concern with an experience as it is lived or felt or undergone. It is done for
the purpose of understanding social phenomena (Wiersma, 1995). It has the aim to
understand experience as nearly as possible as its participants feel or live it. Most
researchers say that qualitative descriptions should transport the reader to the
scene, convey the pervasive qualities or characteristics of the phenomenon and
evoke the feeling and nature of the educational experience (Sherman & Webb,
1988). More specifically, the researcher used a phenomenological research
method in which the focus is on the lived experience of the
participants/interviewees.
A. Research Method
The researcher applied a phenomenologocal research method which
focused on somenones lived experience. It tried to understand the three
participants story from the implementation of Pecha Kucha in the CLS 2.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
26
According to Moustakas (1994), a phenomenology is a qualitative research which
the goals are to understand the meanings of human experiences or to explore
concepts from new and fresh perspectives. As said by Husserl (as cited in
Moustakas, 1994), it aims at being a descriptive theory of the essence of pure
transcendental experiences from the phenomenological standpoints, and like every
descriptive discipline, neither idealizing nor working at the structure of things, it
has its own justification.
Moustakas (1994) argues that research should focus on the wholeness of
experience and search for essence of experience. Phenomenology is also
categorized as one of valid research. Phenomenologists, in contrast to positivists,
believe that the researcher cannot be detached from his/her own presuppositions
and that the researcher should not pretend otherwise (Hammersley, 2000). In this
regard, Mouton and Marais (1990) state that individual researchers hold explicit
beliefs. According to Groenewald (2004), the intention of this research, at the
outset (preliminary focus), was to gather data regarding the perspectives of
research participants about the phenomenon of the growing of talent and the
contribution of co-operative education in this process. Besides, phenomenological
research focuses on certain respondents which are less than ten people. According
to Wiersma (2000), the logic of purposeful sampling is based on a sample of
information-rich cases that are studied in depth.
Moustakas (1994) says the methodology guidance on phenomenology is
often conceptual and philosophical. The procedures for doing phenomenological
analysis are also described metaphorically. For instance, the existing literatures
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
27
suggest the researchers to take on three conceptual tasks. They are epoche,
phenomenological reduction and imaginative variation. Fulfilling the
characteristics of phenomenological steps adopted from Moustakas, the researcher
provides the explanation of each phenomenological step. In order to get the
themes or the essence of phenomenology, the steps are described operationally
based on how participants interpret and give meaning to the implementation of
Pecha Kucha. These are the phenomenological steps which ease to get the themes
of the research.
First, epoche is the process to temporarily stop the researchers personal
biases, beliefs, preconceptions and assumption about the phenomenon in order to
get straight to the pure and unencumbered vision of what it essentially is
(Chamberlain, 1974, cited in Sanders, 1982), or simply put, to go back to the
things themselves (Crotty, 1998). In this study, the researcher threw away some
assumptions in which students had good or bad experiences in Pecha Kucha. It
meant that the researcher set the belief temporarily and let the research go
naturally on the reality in the field.
After that, phenomenological reduction is the process to peel the
phenomenon from its surface appearances to reveal the core. Moustakas (1994)
says that it involves a process of going beyond, behind, or underneath the
conventional patterns of thoughts and actions in order to expose the meaning
structure. Simply, this deals with how the researcher categorizes the interview
result in a column. Other parts of the interview result which has no relation are
omitted or reduced which is called as horizonalization
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
28
Then, imaginative variation is a procedure used to reveal possible
meanings through utilizing imagination, varying the frames of reference,
employing polarities and reversals and approaching the phenomenon from
divergent perspectives, different positions and role of functions. The aim is to
discover the underlying and precipitating factors accounting the experiences
(Moustakas, 1994). Imaginative variation complements phenomenological
reduction. It explores the textual and structural meanings from the
phenomenological reduction. This allows the data which already categorized to be
grouped in each theme or topic.
The last step in phenomenology is that synthesizing meanings and essence.
It means the integration between the textual and structural description into a
discussion in order to get emergent themes. They are important in the
phenomenological research which become the result of the whole steps applied.
The emergent themes are the results of the three participants story to be
intepreted by the researcher. It is provided in the chapter four for further
explanation of the results. This diagram below will show how the data are
processed in the phenomenological study.

29
Figure 3.1 Phenomenological steps(adapted from Moustakas (1994))
The diagram above explains how the phenomenological steps work in
order to get emergent themes. The first step is epoche in which researcher cannot
have implicit themes to be stated as the results of research. The researcher
disclosed his perceptions and beliefs related the implementation of Pecha Kucha.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
30
Epoche is the starting point for the researcher to begin his concern about Pecha
Kucha which became the focus of the research. The researcher could not say if
Pecha Kucha would give some benefits towards students without directly
interviewing them. Temporarily, the researcher came with a fresh eye and mind in
this step.
In phenomenological reduction, the researcher reduced certain statements
which were not in relation with the needs of the research. The research provided a
bracket or a horizonalization to identify unit data gathered from the participants.
Horizoalization gave a clear location of participants statement by numbering of
each. That would ease the researcher to identify one by one statement from
participants to get emergent themes. That was called textual description which
emphasized the broader emergent themes before the researcher underwent to the
next step.
The next step was imaginative variation in which the researcher used his
imagination to determine the broader themes into specified themes. It was aimed
to reflect emergent themes which appeared from the participants. That produceda
structural description which was organized more structurally to specify emergent
themes.
The final step in phenomenological steps adopted from Moustakas (1994)
was synthesizing the textual and structural description. The research defined the
emergent themes from the three participants. Then, the researcher finally
determined some emergent themes which became the focus of the discussion in
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
31
chapter four. The themes were purely based on participants view in experiencing
Pecha Kucha in the CLS 2.
B. Research Setting
The researcher conducted the study in English Language Education Study
Program since the participants were also as the members on it. Holliday (2002)
mentions there are five criteria in establishing research setting: boundedness,
variety of relevant data, richness, small-sized and accessibility. Those five criteria
are explained as follows.
The research boundaries cover time, place, and cultural boundaries. The
participants took the CLS 2 class when they were in the fourth semester
2014/2015 academic year. At that time, they got Pecha Kucha presentation which
was used as a final test of the speaking class. That became the consideration in
choosing the class. Then, the next was the place boundary. The research was
conducted in ELESP in which the research could often meet the participants. The
CLS 2 class was conducted at the multimedia laboratory so that the students could
use a projector or a viewer to show their slides. The interview itself was
conducted outside the class when the participants feel free to participate.
In gathering the data, researcher used list of questions to be asked. The
data was gathered by having in depth-interview. Since the participants shared
experiences in the context of their story about their behaviors, attitudes, activities
which gave meanings toward the implementation of Pecha Kucha, it was
categorized as the data. The richness of the data was gained by the researcher
since the participants placed meaningfully the experiences gotten in Pecha Kucha.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
32
The focus of the data gathering was just on the implementation of Pecha Kucha as
a final test not in a progress test or other tests.
Patton and Cochran (2002) mention that in-depth information from a small
number of people can be very valuable. The researcher determined three
participants from the CLS 2 class to participate in the study. They shared their
meaningful experience from their Pecha Kucha done in the fourth semester. The
last criterion was accessibility. The researcher conducted the study outside the
class where the three participants would not feel bothered. The researcher asked
for permission to have an interview with them by providing them some questions.
There was no consent or letter of permission since the secret of the interview
transcript was only kept for the sake of the research.
C. Research Participants
As this was phenomenological research, the respondents or the participants
of the study were focused on the three students in PBI USD batch 2013 especially
those who joined CLS 2 class D. There were three students who represented a
high achiever, a mid achiever and a low achiever who had the same chance to be
interviewed. The purpose to choose those participants was to avoid certain
opinions that was appeared from just certain levels of participants. In order to
determine the level of participants, the high, mid and low achiever, the researcher
asked for suggestion from the lecturer who at that time was in charge in the CLS 2
class to choose. Moreover, the researcher also determined those levels of
participants from their score gotten in final test of CLS 2.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
33
The consideration of choosing the participants was suggested by
Moustakas (1994) in which there were less than ten participants to be interviewed
in a phenomenological study. The categories of the participants were the high,
mid, and low achiever. It was also categorized based on their score in having
Pecha Kucha in the final test of CLS 2 and the process of conducting Pecha
Kucha. The first was participant 1. He felt into category a low achiever because he
got a score 73 for his final test. The students average score in the class was 76 for
the final test only. Besides, participant 1 also had short preparation in designing
material for Pecha Kucha. Unexpectedly, he forgot his material when he presented
in front of the class.
The second was that participant 2. He was categorized as a medium
achiever in which he got 77 for the score. He reached the score by having short
preparation but he did the presentation well. He ever forgot his material during the
presentation but he could anticipate it by improvisation. As seen in the interview
result, the background of his study also affected the consideration of choosing him
as a mid-achiever.
The last was participant 3. She was categorized as a high achiever because
she got 80 in the final test using Pecha Kucha. Her speaking ability also could be
understood easily by others. She loved to speak so much. She had enough
preparation in designing the material. Moreover, she also made key notes in small
pieces of paper in order to remind her to the points of material. She was diligent in
preparing everything before conducting this Pecha Kucha.

D. Instrument and Data Gathering Technique
The most common way of data collection in a phenomenological study is
through in-depth interview to gather participants detailed description of their
experience. According to Patton and Cochran (2002), interviews resemble
everyday conversations, although they are focused (to a greater or lesser extent)
on the researchers needs for data. The phenomenology deals with someones
lived-experience. The suitable technique to gather the data is in-depth interview.
The aim of interview itself is to understand the world from the subjects point of
view, to unfold meaning of peoples experiences (Kvale, 1996).
The interview was held by asking some questions (see attachment) to the
participants and it was recorded it by audio tools which would be transcribed into
verbatim. The types of the questions were open-ended questions which allowed
researcher got more details from participants experiences. The interview used an
Indonesian language in order to get clear explanation and to avoid biases.
E. Data Analysis Technique
The data which were achieved from the participants would be preceded by
phenomenological steps introduced by Moustakas (1994). The researcher
reformed the recording of the interview into manuscripts or usually called
verbatim. Then, the researcher gave marks in the form of numbering or usually
called horizonalization. In order to make it more specific regarding the needs of
the research, there were textual and structural subjects which were categorized
into some similar themes.
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
35
The methods of preparation were reviewing the professional and research
methods, formulating the research question, illustrating the topic and research
question and selecting the participants. In the phenomenological research, the
question should have both social meaning and personal significance. Ethical
principles of human science research should be taken into account. Participants
should be fully informed and respected in their privacy.
Organization and analysis of data began with regarding every statement
relevant to the topic as having equal value. The meaning of units were listed and
clustered into common themes. These were used to develop a textual description
of experience. From this, an integration of textures and structures into the
meanings and essence the phenomenon were constructed. For instance,
participants 3 stated that Pecha Kucha forced them to have a good and long
preparation before having the presentation (Participant 3.13). The topic in that
script was about a material planning and a long preparation. In the textual
description, the researcher defined the statements as a students preparation in
having Pecha Kucha. In the structural description, the researcher put participants
statements as a preparation should be good and takes enough time. The essence or
theme from those textual and structural descriptions could be specified into self-
preparation.
F. Research Procedure
This part was about how the researcher managed the research in sequence.
Firstly, the researcher chose three participants or students from the CLS 2 class
batch 2013 who were already chosen by purposive sampling. The researcher
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJIPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
36
eliminated students in order to represent a high, mid and low achiever. Secondly,
the researcher designed the blueprint for the interview guidelines. It was the
fundamental instrument before directly asking to the participants. Then, the
researcher had an interview to each participant in different chances. After
perceiving the data, the researcher adapted what Moustakas (1994) suggested in
phenomenology steps to proceed the data.
The researcher had to disclose assumptions and beliefs which meant the
researcher should be neutral to avoid the biases. This was called epoche. Next was
phenomenological reduction which allowed the researcher to have
horizonalization. It must be identified per unit of meaning by transcribing
verbatim from each participant. After that, the researcher categorized the units of
meaning into certain themes or topics which were called textual and structural
descriptions (imaginative variation). The description of the textual and structural
units was combined to form a textual structural of essence of the experience.
Those processes were repeated toward each participant until the textual-structural
descriptions represented the essence of the experience of the whole groups.

CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, the writer presented and analyzed the data acquired by
employing in-depth interviews toward the three participants. The findings from
the interview were discussed to answer the research question: What does using
Pecha Kucha mean towards students experiences in using Pecha Kucha in CLS 2
class? Therefore, there would be a discussion regarding students lived-
experiences in using Pecha Kucha in CLS 2 class.
A. Text description
In this part, the researcher shows the participants story background in the
relation of learning English and Pecha Kucha. The summary of students story
based on participants lived experience which is conducted in-depth interview. It
connected the participants background affecting the meaningfulness toward the

1. Story of Participant 1
He began learning English in his elementary school. At that time, he only
learned English in general so that it was not focused in the English elements. He
did not like to learn English when he was in elementary school. He just studied
English like what people did but he believed that he could master English easily.

He explained why he chose ELESP when he continued his study to a
university. He realized that English would be an important tool for people to
absorb much information in the world. He also believed that every person in the
future would need English. He, personally, chose ELESP of Sanata Dharma
University to be the place where he could learn more about English. He also
identified every study program which had a good accreditation so that he could
get a good predicate when he had graduated. In his opinion, ELESP of Sanata
Dharma was the best English program in Yogyakarta in which it had been
rewarded as the best program also in ASEAN.
He was one of students in the Critical Listening and Speaking 2 class. He
joined the CLS 2 class in the last fourth semester. He was in the fifth semester
when he was interviewed. He got a speaking class in the previous semester. It was
a CLS 1 class. He got Pecha Kucha in the CLS 2 where he could present twenty
slides in a chance. It was used for taking a score in the final test. Firstly, he did
not know about Pecha Kucha. When he heard Pecha Kucha in the first time he
only thought that it was a boring way to have a presentation in the class. Then, he
experienced Pecha Kucha with their friends in the class. He realized that Pecha
Kucha was totally different from other ways of presentation. It was such a new
innovation and challenge in managing an interesting presentation. He also
expected that some ideas which were used in Pecha Kucha should be more
interesting and creative so that it could create a good atmosphere in the class.

2. Story of Participant 2
He wasa nineteen-year-old boy which has a process to pass his study. He
started learning English since he was around three years old. At that time, he
hoped that he could learn more about English but unfortunately he only learned
some vocabularies. It showed that his expectations were limited by a learning
system which only taught students about vocabulary. When he was in a junior
high school, he would like to join an English course in order to improve his skills
in English. Before continuing his study in Santa Dharma University, he graduated
from SMA 1 Depok Sleman. In his opinion, it was one of favorite schools in
Yogyakarta. This also became a reason why he chose the school. He took a social
course in SMA 1 Depok Sleman.
He also told his reason why he chose the English study program rather
than other programs. The only reason was just he loved learning language rather
than learning math. He got difficulties when he had to deal with many numbers
and formula so he chose language to be learned which was simpler. After that, he
decided to continue his study at Sanata Dharma University in the ELESP
program. In his opinion, he knew that it was the best English study program in
Yogyakarta University. That was why he joined the ELESP of Sanata Dharma.
When he was interviewed, he was in the fifth semester which meant he got
semester fourin the previous. In the semesterfour, he got the CLS 2 class which
emphasized on the integration of listening and speaking skills. He said that
learning CLS 2 was about training his listening and speaking skills in more

critical ways. Besides,one of lecturers introduced Pecha Kucha to the students in
the CLS 2 class. It was used to take a score in a final test. Therefore, students had
to make a presentation or Pecha Kucha to be presented in the class one by one.
Before knowing Pecha Kucha, he just got blind about what Pecha Kucha was. He
even had not gotten such way of presentation before he joined the CLS 2 class.
However, after experiencing Pecha Kucha directly, he realized that Pecha Kucha
was easier rather than other ways of presentation he ever knew. He said it was
more effective to be implemented in the class in which the students had to manage
their time for twenty slides. They had different speech to deliver and students
must speak twenty seconds in each slide. That was why he said it was more
effective in managing the speech and preparing the material. He hoped that he
could do such way of presentation which was not boring. In the last, Pecha Kucha
was the new way of presentation which must be tried to implement in the class.
3. Story of Participant 3
She was nineteen years old when she was interviewed. She started to learn
English in an elementary school. She thought that learning English in the
elementary school was so excited. She got a killer teacher at that time. In order
to develop her English skills, she also joined an English course when she was in a
junior high school. She graduated from SMA PL Van Lith Muntilan. She chose in
a social course when she was in senior high school. She also said about her
motivation why she chose the English study program; she loved English since she
was child then it brought her to be right now.

She was confused in terms of choosing study programs that she was going
to choose. Firstly, she was going to choose an English Literature or ELESP. Her
parents asked her to choose the ELESP of Sanata Dharma with a consideration
that it was also the best study program in Yogyakarta especially the English study
program. She also said that the quality of one study program would determine
more students to choose. It happened in Sanata Dharma especially in ELESP.
She was one of the students in the CLS 2 class in 2014. She was in the
fifth semester when she was interviewed. She never knew about the learning
technique called Pecha Kucha before joining the CLS 2 class. That was the first
time she got the learning technique. She mentioned about her concern before
having Pecha Kucha in the class. She said that before learning Pecha Kucha
sometimes she felt bored with many ways of presentation which she had before
Pecha Kucha. She hoped that after joining or having Pecha Kucha she would get
something new to to learn and of course it would be more interesting. Then, after
experiencing Pecha Kucha, she felt in love with the way of Pecha Kucha was
presented. It was more attracted therefore the students would pay attention to
every presentation. It was so challenging also in which students would have many
things to do before Pecha Kucha was begun. Finally, she expected that Pecha
Kucha could give a new atmosphere in the learning process in the class.

phenomenological steps adopted from Moustakas (1994) which appeared from the

data gathered. There were five themes which were mostly showed by those three
participants from conducting in-depth-interviews. They were creativity, self-
development, effective learning, adaptation, and opportunity.
1. Creativity
The implementation of Pecha Kucha in the CLS 2 class enabled students to
dig out their creativities. The intention of showing students creativities was seen
from topics that were provided by a teacher. Pecha Kucha had given a lot of
advantages for the students especially in building the creativities. It helped
students how to make a good presentation with interesting topics. Therefore, their
audience would not get bored easily to pay attention to the presentation. It was
based on participant 3s view which was proved when she became the audience
for their friends presentation. Pecha Kucha gave a new color in the learning
process to CLS 2 students; it was showed from participant 1s statement which
