2. The Nature of Qualitative Data. The data may include recorded
interviews, various types of texts i.e. field notes, journal and diary
entries, documents and images
B. Data and Data Source
The research was conducted in Daarut Taqwa Islamic boarding school in
Klaten for the 5th grade of KMI Kulliyatul Mu’allimien al Islamiyyah or the
second year grade of senior high school from November 2013 through April
2014. The
data of the present study consists of erroneous sentences taken form the narrative
English composition written by Fifth grade of KMI Islamic boarding school
Klaten in Academic Year 2013‐2014. The researcher had collected 338 erroneous
sentences from 70 narrative composition written by those students which
were collected from November 2013 till April 2014.
The data taken from the writing of the students’ composition has been
copied out and kept in a safe file
C. Method of Data Collection
The data are in the form of written production made by the students of
Daarut Taqwa Islamic boarding school. In collecting the data the researcher uses
elicitation method. Elicitation method is used to have students to produce the
writing and to give instruction to write English composition. This method is
51
designed to get a person to actively produce speech or writing.The steps are as
follows: 1.
The researcher gives explanation and motivation to the students about
writing English composition in various genre like descriptive, narrative,
procedure and anecdote. 2.
The researcher gives assignment to the students to write their composition
in any genre they prefer. 3.
The researcher triggers the students to write down their composition 4.
The researcher classifies those narrative composition to be studied 5.
The researcher reads every composition to identify the erroneous sentences
6. The researcher writes down the erroneous sentences from the
students’ narrative composition and uses them as the data
D. Data Validity
To ensure the validity and credibility of the data, the researcher has tried to
use triangulation of data. Wiersma in Sugiyono 2012: 125 says that
“triangulation is qualitative cross‐validation. It asseses the sufficiency of the data
according to the convergence of multiple data source or multiple data collection
procedures” The researcher has collected the data from the students using two
sources; document and event. The document is the collection of students’
writing which contain errors in morphplogy and syntax while the event is the
process of the students in writing their composition. The second is the method of
52
collecting data. The researcher uses two types. First is the content analysis of
students’ writing and the second is observation, that is by observing the
students’ activity in writing their composition in which they have to work on their
own without depending or asking one each other. The data collected is purely
their natural work without any intervention.
