E. Data Analysis Technique
In order to draw conclusion, the obtained data have to be comprehensibly presented and analyzed. The data presentation and analysis will be discussed in
the following parts.
1. Technique to Analyze the Observation Checklist
The checklist result was used to analyze the availability of the support service in the school. If a tick
√ is given to the ‘Present Absent’ column, it indicates that the students have access to the observed equipment or facility. In
contrast, if a cross x is given, students have no access to it. Information about the school facilities and equipments can be used as the consideration in
determining the possible type of media and strategies to be used.
2. Techniques to Analyze the Interview Result
To analyze the interview result, the interview notes were put into transcript. Next, the transcript was classified and organized based on fields: the
available support service, learners’ characteristics, and pre-assessment. Finally, the result is summarized into some paragraphs to ease the interpretation.

and Rodgers, 2002, the data were converted into percentage. The responses taken into account were only the responses chosen by more than 40 percent of the total
respondents, since such responses were assumed represent the major characteristics of the population.
For the essay questions, the responses were classified, organized, and summarized into some sentences. The result of the questionnaires would help the
writer to determine the types of activities and materials which suit the learners’ needs and wants.
