A. Data Description

In this chapter, the writer would like to present description of data, analysis of data, and interpretation of data. The first one is description of data. The data were collected from observation, test, and interview. The writer did classroom observation and gave the test carried out on Wednesday, September 3 rd and Tuesday, September 16 th , 2014. The test were collected from the sample by means of identifying independent clause and dependent clause and writing independent clause and dependent clause in an argumentative essay which amount to 43 students 50 from the population. After did observation and gave the test, the writer did interview. Interview had been done on Tuesday, November 4 th , 2014. In this step, the writer only took some students who did the highest number of errors. Observation had been done at the same time with the test. The writer saw that each class has different characters in teaching and learning processes. When the writer came to class C, she saw some of the students were talking to their friends, some students read novel, and there are also students who did other activities rather than listened to the explanation of their lecturer; but when the writer asked them to do the test, the writer felt surprised because the students wanted to do the test. The students did the test seriously. Next is class B. The students in this class were more silent and more serious. All of them were listening to the explanation of their lecturer. When the writer asked them to do the test, the writer saw that the students did the test seriously. The last is class A. This class was different. The students did the test out of class. They did it at the place they wanted to do at dorm, at library, at mosque and so forth. The writer only gave the time to collect their answer sheets. Therefore, the writer could not describe the character of this class. After the writer observed the classroom, she asked the students to do the test. The test is divided into two parts: part A and part B. On the part A of the test, the students were asked to identify independent clause, dependent clause, and types of dependent clause. Most of them were unable in identifying the types of dependent clause. On the part B of the test, the students were asked to write an argumentative essay. Most of them did errors such as misformation errors, omission errors, addition errors, misordering errors, dangling errors, and used double coordinator conjunction in a sentence. The last one was interview. Interview was done to get more data in- depth. The writer did interview to students who did much errors. Most of them were lack of grammatical understanding and lack of independent clause and dependent clause understanding. Then, the writer will analyze the test and the interview. As stated in technique of data analysis on chapter III, the procedure that the writer used after collecting the data are identifying the errors, describing errors, classifying the errors and calculating the percentage of every type of errors into the tables. All of these will be analyzed in the data analysis.
