METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
The third chapter focused in methodology that was used to analyze Gricean Cooperative Principles in the conversation of radio talk show of Pro 2 English
Time. There were four subchapters; 1 research design, 2 source of the data, 3 roles of the researcher, 4 method of data collection and 5 method of data
analysis.
3.1 Research Design
As indicated in Chapter I, the study focused on the dialogues of English program Pro 2 English Time RRI Semarang. In order to answer the statement of the
problem, the writer applied the qualitative method. The qualitative research described people’s situation and feeling, therefore it did not relate to numeral data.
Berg 1989: 2 said that qualitative term did not relate to the numeral data, but it related to the meanings, concepts, definitions, and descriptions of things. So, it
was better for the writer to analyze dialogues containing meanings, concepts, and characteristics with a qualitative research design.

3.2 Source of the Data
The source of data referred to the subject from which all the data of a research were obtained Arikunto, 2002:107. The data may appear in the form of
discourse, sentence, clause, phrase, word or even morpheme Subroto, 1992:7. The data in this research were dialogues uttered by the participants of Pro 2
English Time in one of its edition that was “Ingrid from Holland”. Pro 2 English Time was a talk show program which is conducted every
day at 6 pm until 7 pm on 95.3 FM Pro 2 RRI Semarang. Pro 2 English Time which has tagline “Improving Your Smart Talent” is an English languages
interactive program, in which its participants are supposed to talk in English during on air. The genre of the program is an information-oriented talk show
which means there are topic and information to be discussed. The conversation has different topic every day, and in one day there were about 4 to 5 callers,
joining the program. The participants of this program are radio announcers and listeners with
various ages, occupation, and education background, yet they have a similar thing that is their willingness to speak in English. Although the participants are non
native English speakers, they try to build conversation always in English, as possible as they can do. Sometimes, there were foreigners or native English
speakers who become guest announcers and present information and invite listeners to have conversation with them.
The purposes of the program are to inform factual, actual topic to listeners and interactively discuss it with them by using telephone and short message
service SMS. In every edition of Pro 2 English Time, the announcers provide a topic and several supporting information and they will invite listeners to
participate the program by calling the phone line andor sending SMS. During the conversation and SMS session listeners get an opportunity to have discussion with
announcers, to speak up their mind, and to give their opinion and criticism related to the recent topic in program.
The conversations in the program do not always run well due to some factors. Sometimes technical factors such as phone line and low communication
signal disturbance affected the audio quality which cause participants hardly hear the sound from the radio and telephone, so that they can not build a dynamic
conversation. Besides, there are also non-technical factors that make the conversation not to be dynamic and even come to a dead end. It happens when
participants can not speak up their mind properly because they lack of vocabulary, they hardly catch the point of discussion, and they can not provide some clues to
make a good exchange of information. Here, the writer got an interesting conversation in Pro 2 English Time
edition which titled “Ingrid from Holland” on August 2008. The conversation was among Indonesian speakers of English, a native English speaker from Holland and
listeners who joined the program via telephone line. In this edition, Rosalind the announcer and Ingrid the guest announcer who comes from Holland presented a
topic about Ingrid activities’ in Holland. A topic about Ingrid’s life and Holland
might attract listeners to discuss it. During the interactive phone in session, they asked about Ingrid’s life, her activities’ as a teacher and announcer in Holland, the
activities’ during her trip in Indonesia and many things about Holland. Often, listeners also spoke up their mind, opinion and their wishes of being in Holland
and how Indonesia’s development someday could be like Holland as well. Finally, by the end of the program, Rosalind asked Ingrid to close the program by making
a statement and message for listeners to always keep up their motivation to speak in English, listen to the program, and to love Indonesia cultures.
