This chapter discusses the method of the research. It also discusses a certain analysis used to prove the research from the data gathering. This chapter is
divided into seven parts. They are research method, research setting, research participants, research instrument and data gathering technique, data analysis
technique, and research procedures.
A. Research Method
This research was a qualitative research. According to Ary, Jacobs, Sorenses, and Razavieh 2010, the qualitative research focused on the
understanding of social phenomena in the perspective of human participants in natural settings. Thus, in this research, the perspective of Papuan seminarians
toward their learning culture and the importance of drama performance-based activities toward their English learning became the focal points.
In this qualitative research, the writer used basic interpretive qualitative research as the method. As defined by Merriam 2009, basic interpretive
qualitative study focuses on understanding how participants make meaning of a situation of a situation or phenomenon. Hence, this study focused on obtaining
information about the learning culture of Papuan seminarians at St. Paul House of Spiritual Formation and the importance of drama as the instructional technique in
the program “Jayanti Formative English 2014”.
