RESEARCH METHOD

F. Data Analysis Procedure

―Data analysis is the process of systematically searching and arranging the interview transcripts, field notes, and others materials that accumulate to increase

own understanding and enable to present what have discovered to others‖ (Sugiono, 2010, p.88). For analyzing verbal and non verbal communication

problems faced by Thai students living at Ma‘had Al-Jami‘ah of IAIN Palangka Raya, the researcher took, compared, and re-checked all the participants‘ answers and responds which gained from observation and interview.

Then, to select and to classify the data, the analysis of the data was based on the indications that show verbal and non-verbal communication problems among Thai students with local people and their new around. Following to Culture wise book (2015, p.10) noted that in cross-cultural situations, where we have to live in

a different cultural environment, or inter-cultural situations where a number of cultures live together, these cultural differences can lead to all manner of misunderstandings.

According to Zhou (2008, p.64) stated that ―lacking social skills may cause cross- cultural problems.‖ The data is able to be analyzed by knowing the indications of cultural misunderstanding. It could be seen from how they adapt and react as the new comers. So that, the researcher may make conclusions from all the data in order to answer the research questions well.
