E. Data Analysis Technique

In analyzing the data, the researcher divided the analysis technique into two steps. They were stated as follows.

1. Pre-Design Data Analysis Technique

In this step, the researcher did the research and information collection to collect the information as many as possible to support the research. The researcher did observations, interviews, and review of literatures as the preparation of the research. Based on the result of the observations and the interviews, the researcher composed qualitative data and made the conclusion of the data as the preliminary data. The process was done by extracting the observations’ results and interviews’ results to gain the information about the needs, wants, and expectation of the respondents. The data collection was needed as the sources to conduct others step in doing this research and design the first speaking materials product. The qualitative data was needed to plan the objective, goal, and target learnings of the research. The researcher tried to design the first product materials as the preparation in doing the preliminary field-testing. After the materials are ready, the researcher held the preliminary field-testing. Here, the researcher elaborates the materials to be used in the real teaching and learning activity. While doing the field-testing, the researcher does the class observation and continues the process by interviewing the students and the teacher after the simulation is over. The researcher gained the comments, criticisms, suggestions, and the participants’ opinion by doing this process. 41 Furthermore, in analyzing the questionnaire, the researcher gained quantitative data. The researcher recapitulated the data and calculates each response. The result was obtained by dividing the number of students, then multiplied by 100. Borg and Gall 1983 state that qualitative data were analyzed to yield frequencies and parentages of respondents checking each response category on particular closed-form questions. The data collected was calculated by using percentage as follows. Note: n : the total number of students who chose certain answer. N : the total number of students.
