1.6.1 Design of the Research

Since the research does not need to involve any experiment and give any manipulation, the research then is designed as qualitative. The data collected will be analyzed through error analysis 1.6.2 Participant The research is done in a public junior high school in Bandung. The number of the participants involved in the research is 36. The participants chosen are eighth graders based on a consideration that they are still learning English which means that they tend to be interfered by their native language. 1.6.3 The Data Collection Techniques The data needed will be obtained through three techniques, first, having the selected students translate a text from Bahasa Indonesia Indonesia to English in a form of writing, observing their classroom, and second, conducting interview. The text will specifically be designed by the researcher to see the interference experienced by those students from junior high school and of course is adjusted to their translating ability. The data will then be analyzed through Error Analysis undergoing some steps that will be elaborated later. Classroom observation is also Wahyu Budi Riyanda, 2015 Investigating grammatical interference in junior high school students translation Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu conducted to give supplementary data about their learning behavior. Meanwhile, the interview is conducted to figure out the difficulties they encounter when learning English. 1.6.4 Data Analysis The data obtained are analyzed through Error Analysis which undergoes several steps as follows: 1 Making Collection of error sample In this step the necessary sample is collected to see the pattern of the error. 2 Identification of Error This step decides whether the errors are really error or mistakes.
