pragmatic aspects in term of speech acts especially the perlocutionary acts of Austin’s there dimensions in Mr. Keating’s utterances when he teaches. The
data is in the form of dialogues. Related to the objectives which is to find out what Mr. Keating commonly does in teaching as a good teacher, this research
contains some description and explanation which is in verbal form. Thus, this research mainly uses qualitative method to analyse the data. However, a

B. Object of The Research, Data, and The Source of Data
The object of this research are Mr. Ke ating’s utterances when
teaching, the data were in the form of utterances spoken by Mr. Keating when teaching in the Dead Poets Society.

secondary instrument to note the linguistic aspects which is needed in the research. The form of the data sheet is as follows.

D. Data Collection Technique
In this research, the instrument of the data collection is the researcher for this is a qualitative research. In qualitative research, it is said
that the instrument is the researcher conducting the research. In fact, the researcher is said to be the data collection instrument
because it is the researcher who must decide what is important and what data to be recorded Johnson; 2008 : 212.
In accordance to the statement above that the researcher is the instrument, the researcher did some steps to collect the data. They are as
follows: 1.
watching the Dead Poets Society movie thoroughly 2.
downloading the the Dead Poets Society’s transcript 3.
checking the accuracy of the transcript by watching the movie time after time
4. selecting the data
5. classifying the data
6. transferring the data into table
7. analysing and interpreting the data
E. Data Analysis Technique
In analysing the data, the researcher use both qualitative and quantitative technique. The qualitative technique is mainly used considering the
data which need to be described and interpreted in verbal form. Meanwhile, the
quantitative technique is used to show the percentage of the data to support the data analysis. More clearly, the following are the steps in analyzing the data:
1. selecting the data that will be analyzed after watching the movies
thoroughly; 2.
classifying the data into categories of adjacency pairs proposed by Yule 1996;
3. analyzing the pragmatic aspects of the classified data
4. investigating the most commonly occurred acts reflected from the analysed
data; 5.
drawing conclusion.
F. Trustworthiness
Lincoln and Guba 1985 propose some aspects of the data to check. They are credibility, dependability, conformability, and transferability. In
enhancing the credibility, the researcher did some thorough observation to ensure that the findings and interpretation are credible. To deal with
dependability, the researcher read the data thoroughly. To check the conformability aspect, the
researcher matched the data with experts’ theories to analyze. The researcher used a triangulation technique to achieve the
confirmability by consulting the data to students of linguistics. However, the researcher could not deal with transferability aspect because according to
Lincoln and Guba 1985, this aspect can be done only by the reader whether the interpretation can be used in other situation or not.
