CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Approach of the Study
This study used descriptive research as Surakhmad 1990: 139 states that descriptive research is a kind of research which tries to describe and interpret a
factual phenomenon. The characteristics of descriptive research are explained by Arikunto 1990: 309; it is centered in actual problem solving and the data are
collected, explained and then analyzed. Moreover, there are many kinds of descriptive research such as survey
research, quantitative research, comparative research, and qualitative research. This study is a descriptive-qualitative research which is based on the problem in
the study that its function is to know the status and describe the phenomenon Arikunto, 2003: 35. Meanwhile, if it is seen from the variable, this study was
non-experimental research because in this study there was no a treatment. In addition, Creswell 1994: 147 explains that qualitative research is
interpretative research. As such, the biases, values, and judgment of the researcher become stated explicitly in the researcher report.
3.2 Design of the Study
This study was a case study which investigated the interlanguage IL process happened when the learners produced a recount text. This study focused
on the students’ grammatical errors on their recount texts as the medium to analyze the interlanguage IL process happened in it.
3.3 Place and Time of the Study
The study was done in MAN 2 Banjarnegara in academic year 20142015. The writer aimed to find out the varieties of grammatical errors made by the
students in order to be able to reveal the interlanguage happened behind the errors in that school. The study was done in January 2015.
3.4 Subject of the Study
The Subject of this study was the tenth grades students at MAN 2 Banjarnegara. The writer chose the class who had more various scores on their
semester test with the consideration that the class provided information which leaded the writer to the right conclusion. It was based on the thought that the
chosen Subject should be able to provide the information that is needed Sugiyono, 2010: 300.
According to Best 1981:8 a sample is a small proportion selected for observation and analysis. The selection of the sample was because of some
considerations, first that the writer graduated from the school so that the writer would get the permission easily, and second was that MAN 2 Banjarnegara is one
of Islamic Senior High School which is favorite school and there is a tough competition to enter the school.
