speaking and communciation strategies in speaking. The construct limitation was done because the manifestation was observed from speaking practices and it is
difficult to directly observe aptitude, nature, and motivation in learning speaking through speaking practices.
The third analysis was taken from the result of the interview conducted to one student. The conversation was recorded and then transcribed see Appendix 6,
p.137. The transcription which supported the analysis of the questionnaire and the observation was written as supporting data.
G. Trustworthiness
Trustworthiness is an important process which should be done to obtain accuracy of data which will be described and interpreted. Creswell 2012 proposes
three forms commonly used to maintain trustworthiness: triangulation, member checking, and auditing. In this research, I used triangulation to make the findings
of this research trustworthy. Triangulation is the process of corroborating evidence from different individuals e.g., a principal and a student, types of data e.g.,
observational field notes and interviews, or methods of data collection e.g., documents and interviews in descriptions and themes in qualitative research
Creswell, 2012, p.259. To triangulate the findings of this research, three different techniques of
gaining the data were provided. The quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed and interpreted to find out the beliefs that the
participants hold in learning speaking. In addition to the quantitative data,
51
qualitative data obtained from the interview were also analyzed to compare them. Similar technique was also done to the second main data obtained from the
observation. Qualitative data obtained from the interview were also cross-checked with the data obtained from the observation. All of the data taken from
questionnaire, observation, and interview were analyzed, compared, and cross- checked to make the interpretation trustworthy.

CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, I presented the research findings to answer the two research questions: What are the beliefs of Non-English Department students in learning
speaking and How is the manifestation of Non-English Department students in learning speaking. Then, the findings were discussed and interpreted using related
theories to find out the beliefs that the university students hold in learning speaking as well the responses the students made during speaking activities.
A. Findings
This section is divided into two parts. The first part, the quantitative analysis will mainly focus on presenting the findings obtained from the questionnaire
analysis used to answer the first research question. The second part, the qualitative analysis will elaborate the results of the observation used to answer the second
research question. Then, the results of the interview are used to clarify and to support the findings of the questionnaire and observation.
1. Quantitative Data Analysis
The quantitative data presented in Table 4.1 were obtained from the analysis of the questionnaire which is used to answer the first research question: What are
the beliefs of the students of Non-English Department in learning speaking. This questionnaire contains five areas of beliefs in learning speaking, those are beliefs
about aptitude in learning speaking, difficulties in learning speaking, nature of
