E. Data Analysis Techniques
Analyzing the data in qualitative research is essential. According to Moleong 1988: 88, “data analysis is the process of organizing and ordering data
into categories in such a way to find a red line of the data.” In this part, the
process was elaborated. This study contained two part of data analysis techniques, namely the result of the class observation and the data from the interview.
The data from the class observation were the observtion checklist and field notes. The data would be gathered in order to be analyzed deeply in the form of
classification. The analysis was to find out the way the English teacher in
“Speak First” conducted teaching vocabulary. Hence, the analysis was employed to
answer the problem formulation number one. The writer then summarized the data she collected through the observation in order to formulate the research findings
to answer the problem. In this step, the writer interpreted the data on teaching methods in order to obtain findings on what teaching methods the teacher applied.
The findings were presented in the form of table of classification. The process of coding or classifying was based on the indicator of each method and media used
during the teaching-learning process. The form of classification was in Table 3.2.
