networking website Facebook has been finished. Creswell 1998 suggested that researchers presented the summary in an organizational scheme such as a table,
figure, or diagram. This observation was conducted in order to classify and to reaveal the types of code switching occurred in a social networking website
Facebook. The second method was conducted in order to reveal the reasons of doing
code switching in Facebook. It was employed some in-depth interviewing to participants. The records of the participants or interviewees then write out into
texts, it aims to make easier the researcher in analyzing the data. Therefore, several reasons for employing code switching within Facebook might be
concluded by these in-depth interviewings.
F. Research Procedures
This section described the stages of this study which were organized and done to obtain deep comprehension of the phenomenon being studied. There
were seven steps conducted to accomplish the research as follows: 1.
Selecting the target page Since the targets were the primary friends of the researcher, then exploration
of those Facebook users pages would become the first thing to do. The limitation on the researcher target was also important in this research.
2. Designing the observation form
Since the observation was one of the main key to carry out within the research, then it was important to compose the observation form ahead of
time. Observation form was needed to accommodate the data of code switching cases from the target pages. They were used to list all the code
switching cases found in Facebook users’ pages so that every code switching case could be clearly seen within its context of the occurrence.
3. Listing the code switching cases on the observation form
After the observation form had been composed, the identification of code switching within participants’ pages could be conducted. Since the code
switching cases within their pages were not italicized, the researcher had to separate the language that participants used to be considered as a code
switching case and italicized the data found. Afterwards, every code switching case, which was found in participants pages, were listed on the
observation forms. 4.
Analyzing the types of the list of code switching Subsequently, the code switching cases which already listed in observation
forms were directly analyzed to reveal the types of code switching according to the categories employed in this study.
5. Identifying the reasons for code switching
In this step, the researcher conducted in-depth interviewing to 20 twenty Facebook users randomly. Afterwards, the process of translating and
transcribing the records into the written texts were conducted. The following action was listed all the written data into an observation form. This aimed to
identify possible reasons regarding to the underlying theme. More than everything else, the researcher personal interpretations of the language
phenomenon were also played significantly.
6. Making conclusion based on the findings
The results of the steps done previously were concluded in this step. They were the answers to the research questions presented in the problem
formulation. 7.
Reporting In this step, the researcher reported the findings and conclusions based on
the research.
The research procedure could be figure out as follows:

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
Through this chapter the researcher attempts to analyze the obtained data by certain organized methodology, namely research method, research participants,
research instruments, data gathering technique, data analysis technique, and research procedure.
A. Research Method
As has been mentioned in Introduction, this research attempted to analyze some research problems, which were types of code switching and reasons for
using code switching within social networking website Facebook. Thus, in view of the fact that doing code switching within Facebook is categorized as one of
phenomenon which exist in community; hence, the qualitative research was the most relevant method to be employed in this research. Leedy and Ormrod 2005:
133 argued that qualitative research focuses on understanding social phenomena in their natural setting. Therefore, qualitative research was considered as the most
appropriate method for this research. In addition, Patton 1985 as quoted by Merriam 2002 justified that qualitative research could be considered as an effort
to understand the nature of their particular settings. Code switching occurred within a social networking website Facebook was considered as one of a social
phenomenon since many Facebook users did code switching in their pages consciously, though they might not know the term of code switching itself. In
conclusion, through this research the researcher was going to analyze and
