observation were to know the research-setting situation, to see the real process of teaching and learning situation, and to select the potential research participants.
The results of the observation were all noted down carefully. As the classroom observation enlightened me to the real situation in the class, the interview
guideline were arranged after the classroom observation was done. The interview guideline was arranged based on the selected constructs to answer the research
question. It functioned as guidance for me in discovering the participants’ lived experience in joining the web-based vocabulary class.
The interview questions were then arranged as guidance in conducting the in-depth interview. However, they were not strictly applied and orderly asked.
Some questions were added or modified to make the interview done smoothly and to dig out more information. The result of the in-depth interview became the main
data resources in this study to understand and interpret the students’ lived experience in vocabulary web-based learning class.
E. DATA ANALYSIS
After conducting the classroom observation, the participants were then selected. The main data of this study was taken from the in-depth interview. The
data from the in-depth interview was then transcribed into the written form. Next, exploring and coding the data were done. Coding aimed at seeking and building
themes. The themes were then categorized into pre-figured themes. The example of the coding is Aut.Lea-ELT-DA11. Au means autonomous.
Lea means learning. ELT means ELTGallery. DA 11 refers to Dipta’s answer in
line 11. Therefore, in that case, the theme belongs to autonomous learning with PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

ELTGallery and the evidence is in Dipta’s answer line 11.
From the categorized themes, I described and interpreted the data which illustrated the
students’ lived experience in web-based vocabulary learning. At last, the interpretation was presented.
F. TRUSTWORTHINESS OF THE STUDY
A research is valuable when the findings are trustworthy. To gain the trustworthiness of this study, I conducted triangulation. Cohen, Manion and
Morrison 2000: 112 define triangulation as “the use of two or more methods of data collection in the study o
f some aspect of human behavior”. In this study, the triangulation data were obtained from the classroom
observation, in-depth interview, and member checks. In member checks, the participants checked my interpretation. The participants could add any comments
or statements during the member check to improve the validity. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
