Based on epic Ramayana, this drama obviously involves a lot of actors. In this study, only 9 casts as the subjects of the study which are observed based on
the frequency of the dialogs. They are the cast of Shinta, Rahwana, Rama Wijaya, Laksmana, Sugriwa, Subali, Anoman, Jomblo and Playboy.
3.3 Procedure of Collecting Data
The data was collected while the drama performers were doing the rehearsals. In every rehearsal, the errors they produce in connected speech were recorded in the
script. It was done continuously in every rehearsal. As the final step of collecting data, the errors in connected speech were analyzed from its video.
To obtain the required data, the writer observed the major characters of the observed drama in pronouncing the drama script. Arikunto 1993:128 said that
‘in terms of a research, observation can be done by giving questionnaires or by recording activities on cassette.’ Therefore, in this study, due to the difference
between actors, video recording using Cyberlink You Cam is used. In addition as the final step, the video tape of the drama which was held in Taman Budaya
Raden Saleh on July 18, 2009 was analyzed. Conducting a research always requires some steps that have to be done in a
clear chronological order. In order to do so, the following steps in collecting the data are taken. They are:
1. analyzing three chosen rehearsal notes of pronunciation of each cast,
2. analyzing the video tape of drama Ramayana, Upon the Corona which was
held in Taman Budaya Raden Saleh on July 18, 2009,
38
3. concluding the types of errors done by each cast in connected speech,
4. calculating the dominant errors of each cast in connected speech, and
5. describing the reasons why they make such errors based on the error analysis.
3.4 Procedure of Analysing Data
Analyzing the data was done by noting the errors of connected speech started from the rehearsals until the performance day. In every note, the errors were
analyzed from their types and the reasons why the actors make their errors. After analyzing all the total errors, the dominant error which the drama performers
made was found. The writer uses error analysis method in analyzing the data. The writer
analyzes the data by using steps as follows; 1.
segmenting the data, 2.
identifying errors, 3.
classifying and explaining errors, 4.
finding the dominant errors, and 5.
describing the reasons why those errors are made. To analyze the data obtained in this research, percentage descriptive
method is used in identifying the errors in pronouncing connected speech of the major characters. To calculate the percentage of errors made by them, the
following formula is used. ;
39
where: X = the percentage of errors,
Er = various kinds of errors, W = words, and
Σ = the total number. In order to find out the dominant errors made by the major characters, a
statistical computation based on Gulo 1983, is used. ;
where: Pi = the proportion of frequency of occurrence,
fi = absolute frequency of particular type of errors, and n
= the total number of observed errors.
