Streeck 1983 showed that self-initiated self-repair is the most common one, and that most of the repairs occur in the same sentence as the mistakes were
produced. An important strategy speakers use in spoken interaction is repair, that is the way speakers correct things that have been said in a
conversation. Repair organization addresses problem in speaking, hearing, or understanding in conversation.
2.3 Theoretical Framework
As have been discussed above, I aimed to conduct a qualitative research on the conversation transcript of English non-native speakers; specifically, to describe
the structure of conversation found in the transcript. A number of literatures had also been cited to support this study with theoretical theories; thus, the aspects of
conversation that are used in this study are openings and closings turn taking, adjency pairs and repairs. All of these theories functioned as the basic guidance.In
accordance of these theories, I made a diagram to show the analystical construct of this study.
Figure 2.1Analytical Construct of the Present Study
Then, the datain this study were analyzed using the framework proposed by Paltridge, as follows:
1. Reading the result of the written data carefully. 2. Identifying the structure of conversation using the categories of
discourse structure of conversation.
3. Explaining the material that has been focused only on some aspects of conversation, those are opening and closing, adjacency pair,
topic management and turn taking. 4. Intserpreting the data.
5. Drawing conclusion. In short, the flowchart of the study based on the theories above is as presented in
Figure 2.2.

CHAPTER III METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
In order to create a good quality study, every study must follows academic methods. The methods will lead the us to achieve the goals of the study. This
chapter deals with the research methods that discuss research design, object of the study, types of the data, role of the researcher, method of collecting data, and
method of analysing data.
3.1 Research Design
There are two kinds of research approaches, there are qualitative and quantitative research. In this research, I used qualitative approach. Qualitative research
presents the data research in the form of qualitative research which merely focuses on the analysis of textual data.
There are a lot of methods in qualitative research, one of them is descriptive analysis method. According to Koentjoroningrat as cited in
Mukhoyyimah 1986, a descriptive analysis is an analysis which aims in describing existing conditions through the activity of collecting the data. Hereby,
the analysis of this type is done with words to describe conclusions. This research obtains the descriptive data weather spoken or written. A library research is also
used in conducting the research, in order to find out some theories through numbers of books, journals, articles, and other sources that have correlation to the
topic.
