c. Data Reduction for Interview Transcript
The recording of the interview was fully transcribed. The transcriptions also help the search for existence of self-awareness, self-direction and self-regulation on
the part of the participants. The reduced data was then used to triangulate findings from the listening journal and the field notes. As it has been explained earlier, the
importance of the interview was to seek confirmation and verification of the content of listening journals, whether or not the Participants understood what they had
written and elaborated in the journals.
2. Data Display
The Data are displayed under their instrument and significance and discussed individually, when matters, in the Data Analysis. Narrative field notes were
displayed with labels to point out the significance. In the discussion however, only sample of significant excerpts from the interview were extracted.
3. Data Summary
In order for readers to easily review the data relevant to the study, a summary would be provided by instrument. This section explains how data was summarized
in this research.
1 Summary of Listening Journal
After being coded, significant entries in the listening journal were put in a table whose columns of categories and rows of meetings collide with the data entries
under the two categories: affective and strategic reflection. See Appendix A.a. This PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

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
