summary serves as quick reference to improvements in the depth of listening journal of each participant.
2 Summary of Comprehension Test Score
The researcher scores the comprehension test by percentage of item correctly answered. These scores are presented in table whose columns of participants and
rows of meetings collide with the corresponding scores See Appendix A.b.
3 Summary of Interview Transcript and Field Notes
Interview transcripts were not summarized individually and neither were the field notes. The summary of the interview, as it mainly functions in data
triangulation, was displayed directly in the discussion in Data Analysis to support arguments. Therefore, attached herein are full transcriptions of the interview.
Field notes summary take the same form of full notes for the purpose of not losing the context of the events that happened. Therefore, as were the interviews,
there are no particular summary for this instrument See Appendix E. However, coded field notes should be sufficient to help readers find the significance in the
notes.
G. Research Procedure
The procedure of the research should have been visible at this point. However, to make it concise and yet comprehensible, the procedure is as follows. The first step
would be to have the participant. They would be positioned as high-, -intermediate-, and low- proficiency learners. This was not to seek generalization but to see how the

treatment differs from one case to another and instead seek inquiry for the accounted differences. Participants joined listening comprehension activity. The activity was
field noted. The activity produced also participants’ comprehension test result from time to time. The activity also allowed participants to fill in the listening journal.
This journal was coded from time to time during the period of the activity. As the next step, periodically, the numerical data the comprehension test
result; See Appendix A.b were compared to the listening journal to see whether or not there was significance. After the activity, from time to time during the program
and in the final session of the program, participants were interviewed. The open- ended interview was, then, transcribed. The transcription functions as data
triangulation to clarify the findings from the comprehension test result and the listening journal, and significance inquired from the comparison between the two.
For following interview, questions were generated from previous interview functioning as guide. Figure 3.1 reviews the research procedure.
