To obtain qualitative information, material was taken from observations in the form of field notes, documentation, and interviews, as well as student and teacher interviews. The method of analyzing the data would be in descriptive analysis. The steps in the data analysis process are data reduction, data display, conclusion, and verification. Apart from the TPR test results, after attending the class, the average student is 80–70.
