So that research with descriptive methods has the aim of explaining the various meanings of natural or engineered phenomena, by prioritizing characteristics, quality, and interrelationships between activities (Utami et al., 2021). In data collection, documentation techniques were used by collecting journals with the keyword's authentic material, and English as a second language.
