20 supported by the findings of each measurement. Moreover, Darmawan 2014 states
that self-regulated learning theory is relevant to e-learning theory, so e-learning theory also supports the researcher to answer the second question.

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the researcher discusses how the research was conducted. This research consists of six parts namely research method, research setting,
research participants, instrument and data gathering technique, data analysis technique, and research procedure.
A. Research Method
This research was a mixed-method research. According to Leech and Onwuegbuzie 2009, it involves three big points in a research. Those are collecting,
analyzing, and interpreting both qualitative and quantitative data in the same study. Then, Denscombe 2008 states that a mixed-method research allows the researcher
to increase the accuracy of the data and enable the researcher to elaborate the analysis of the data. Moreover, it also provides the researcher with more complete
description about the phenomenon under the study and aid sampling as cited in Cohen, Manion, and Morrison, 2011
Then, this research was in the form of a case study. According to Merriam 2002, a
case study “is an intensive description and analysis of a phenomenon or social unit such as an individual, group, institution, o
r community.” By focusing on a single phenomenon or case, this research tries to describe it in depth. Furthermore,
Nisbet and Watt 1982 state that a case study is frequently conducted to get or describe a more general principle as cited in Cohen, Manion, Morrison, 2000.

This case study was done by distributing questionnaire sheets to the students of Interpreting class B and interviewing some of the students. The researcher used
a questionnaire to depict the phenomenon in general. Then, the researcher interviewed the lecturer of Interpreting class B and some students to get deeper
understanding about the results. Moreover, the researcher would use respondents’
self-reflection sheets to enrich the data. Through self-reflection, the researcher wanted to see their feelings and understanding about their own experiences.
B. Research Setting
This research was done in Sanata Dharma University. It was done in three steps. First, the researcher distributed the questionnaire in Interpreting class B on 2
December 2015 in Multimedia Laboratory 2. Second, the researcher interviewed the lecturer of Interpreting class B. The interview was done on 10 December 2015.
Then, the researcher interviewed the students. The interview was done in three days. Three students were interviewed on 13 December 2015, one students was
interviewed on 14 December 2015, and two students were interviewed on 15 December 2015. Moreover, the researcher also asked the students to make
reflections of their experiences in using ExeLSA. It was done at the end of the semester. Third, the researcher used some documents which were related to this
research. One document was a syllabus of Interpreting course, the other one was an evaluation document which was obtained from Lembaga Penjaminan Mutu of
Sanata Dharma University on 20 March 2016.
