CHAPTER III RESEARCH METODHOLOGY
This chapter provides the methodology used in this research. As explained in Chapter I, this research inquires into what translation method and strategies used in translating
news articles, especially Middle East world news articles. This chapter covers research design, data source, data collection and data analysis.
3.1 Research Design
The methodology used to conduct this research was descriptive qualitative methodology since the research aims to make categorical data and analyze the
translation phenomena at an informative text. The objective of qualitative research is to understand the individuals, events, and social phenomena, where the researcher
observes, analyzes, and makes conclusion Muhammad, 2011. One of the qualitative characteristics is interpretative which means that the researcher is responsible to make
an interpretation of the data Rossmann and Rallis, 1998 in Creswell, 2003. Wolcott 1994 in Creswell, 2003, p. 182 explains that:
This includes developing a description of an individual or setting, analyzing data for themes or categories, and finally making an interpretation or drawing
conclusions about its meaning personally and theoretically, stating the lessons learned, and offering further questions to be asked.
As the research made categorical data in the form of percentages, descriptive
statistics was used to organize the data and to lead in drawing the conclusion. Descriptive statistics cope with organizing, summarizing, and presenting the data
collected in order to get a sense of what the data reveal Weiss, 2013. Categorical data as one of steps in descriptive statistics is a part of qualitative methodology in
data analysis Frankael and Wallen, 2009; Weiss, 2013. Categorical data “indicate the total number of objects, individuals, or events a researcher finds in a particular
category Frankael and Wallen, 2009, p. 186.” In categorical data, the researcher can

use frequency distribution which lists each categories of the data and the number of occurrences for each categories of the data in the form of a proportion or a percentage
Weiss, 2013. In relation to the research, translation methods and strategies used in
translating selected Middle East articles in BBC world news articles were investigated by making percentages of classifications.
