Data Collection Techniques RESEARCH METHOD

In this research, the implementation of this stage was by re-reading the field notes, interview transcripts and the videos from the previous meetings in order to find possible patterns. For example, the researcher found that the students were very interested and became more enthusiastic when some videos were played. Thus, for the next meeting, she used other videos as one of the input materials. 2. Coding the data To code a data is to reduce the large amount of data that may be collected to more manageable categories of concepts, themes or types. For this research, the researcher coded the data of the field notes and interview transcripts. In the field notes and interview transcript, the researcher coded the „field note’ as „FN’, the „interview’ as „Int’, the „students’ as „SSs’, the „English Teacher’ as „ET’, the „collaborator’ as „C’ and the „researcher’ as „R’. When a code stated „FN-918 th August 2015’, it meant that it was the observation number nine and it was done on 18 th August 2015, and „Int-518 th August 2015’ meant that it was the interview number five and the interview was done on 18 th August 2015. 3. Comparing the data Comparison was made to see whether themes or patterns are repeated or developed during the different data collecting techniques. We could also identify relationship or connection between different sources of data. From the scores of the tests, the researcher could compare the results of each test to see the improvements that the students had reached. 4. Building interpretation In this stage, creative thinking was demanded because it is related with articulating underlying concepts and developing theories about everything that emerge during the research. We might need to look back to the data or discussing with partners for several times to complete this stage. From the interviews with the students, the researcher found that there were some of the students who were originally interested in improving their speaking ability. However, the rest of them seemed to be not interested or motivated to improve it. After the actions were implemented, in the middle of it, the researcher found that the interested students would gain better results than their fellow classmates who were not interested. 5. Reporting the outcomes It involved presenting the outcome of the research to others. In reporting the outcome, the major consideration was to make sure that the report represented the major process of
