2.3 Theoretical Framework
This study focuses on the use of code switching and code mixing in conversation conducted by English literature students of 9
th
semester year 20142015. Furthermore, the objective of my study to analyze and discribe the type and
function of code switching and code mixing in campus. In this research, there are four analyzed main points. 1 English and
indonesian conversation, 2 the concept code switching and code mixing 3 types of code swithing and types of code mixing Muysken: 2000, and 4 the
function of code switching and code mixing. In order to know the use of code switching and code mixing in conversation, it is important to consider the type
and function of English students ‟ code switching and code mixing.

CHAPTER III METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
This chapter explains in more detail about the six points of methods of investigation in this study: method of the study, setting of the study, data and
source of data, the role of the researcher, and procedures of collecting data.
3.1 Research Design
There are two methods that usually used by researchers to investigate. They are qualitative
research and quantitative research. “Quantitative research” uses structured questions where the response options have been predetermined and
usually many respondents are involved. The data is primarily numeric; meanwhile “qualitative research” involves the interpretation of the meanings,
metaphors and symbols of the social world, helping the researcher see how members of a group make sense of a situation. It can also be used to expand
understanding of the range of group members‟ behaviors. It tends to involve a small number of respondents, and the data is text-based.
Based on www.qualitative-descriptive-research-method.html, descriptive research provides a detailed profile of an event, condition or situation using either
quantitative, qualitative or a combination of methods. Data gathering techniques such as field research and case studies are for qualitative descriptive research.
Qualitative methods are ideal for elucidating the steps of processes that have not been well understood and for creating rich descriptions of people„s experiences.
Thus, her study used qualitative descriptive method because the data collected were in form of words, utterance and conversation rather than number.
Furthermore, the qualitative descriptive approach used in her study also has characteristics, they are:
1 It was conducted in the real condition where 9
th
semester students of English literature of Semarang State University in the Academic Year of 20142015
were interacting and having communication during conversation by using English-Indonesian.
2 Since the data collected were in form of words, utterances, and conversations
rather than numbers, thus, the data would be analyzed according to the words, utterances, and conversation performed by students of English literature of
Semarang State University in the Academic Year of 20142015: 9
th
semester students, which contain code mixing and code switching.
