Text Processing RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
55 interest is in Education. She was born in Bangka Belitung. Her formal education
was also in Bangka. She moved to Yogyakarta right after she finished her education in senior high school. When she moved to Yogyakarta, she chose to continue or to
pursue her higher educational degree in the undergraduate program of English Language Education Study Program ELESP in Sanata Dharma University. She
mentioned the main reason why she chose to study in the ELESP Sanata Dharma University was because she believed that the ELESP is the best study program
compared to another ELESP from another university. Besides, entering the ELESP was also her passion. She further emphasized that she was not interested in neither
the linguistics stream nor the literature stream. Regarding her experience in doing projects, during the interview, she
mentioned that she had ever done quite a lot of projects when she became the undergraduate students. One of the projects she mentioned was the Service Program
Design SPD project done when she was in the last semester of becoming the undergraduate student. She mentioned that in the SPD project, she and her friends
had to create an English course program for specific purpose for the Mechanical students of Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta. She further mentioned that she
and her friends had to make the philosophy of the course, the name of the course, and the proposal of the program.
Additionally, she told me that during the English course program, she also found some difficulties or conflicts with her friends. One of the conflicts was how
to understand one’s argument. However, at that time, she could maintain her emotional feeling by acting as neutral as possible so that there would be no further
conflicts in her group. Not only finding out the difficulties or conflicts, but she also
56 told me that she became more disciplined
as well as she could accept others’ opinion during her SPD project. Moreover, she felt that by having difficulties or conflicts
in her group, she could be less reactive when dealing with problems or conflicts in the future.
After she graduated from the undergraduate program, she then decided to pursue her higher educational degree to The Graduate Program in English Language
Studies in Sanata Dharma University as well. The reasons why she chose to study in English Language Studies ELS were first because she knew that in ELS she
could learn not only education, but also literature and linguistics. The second reason was because she wants to become a lecturer after she has graduated from the
graduate program. Regarding her experience when she studied in The Graduate Program of
ELS, she mentioned that she had a lot of experiences in conducting research. Not only conducting research, but she also mentioned that she had to write a lot of
academic papers from every course that she had taken. Moreover, she also mentioned that she had to write response papers from certain subjects such as in
Literature subject and Cultural Studies subject. With all the tasks that she had mentioned, she admitted that she became
tougher in doing all of the assignments and projects from the lecturers. Moreover, she also told me that by having a lot of assignments she could be wiser in dealing
with projects. Lastly, she also mentioned that she could handle the pressures when she was doing her assignments.
In the first interview, I asked about her experiences in doing the projects. When I asked her about her experiences in doing the projects, she mentioned that
57 she had done some projects during her study time in ELS. One of the projects was
the Project and Material Design PMD project in the second semester, early 2016. In the second in-depth interview, I then asked her deeply about how she created the
projects from the beginning until the end of the program. At the first time, she further mentioned that she had to design an English
Course program as well as to design the materials. “At that time we had to make an English course as well as the materials for
the program. However, it was for real. We did come to the hotel. We interviewed the HRD as well as the receptionist at that time. Finally, we
decided to create the materials for the receptionist.” A4-D43-RWT. During the process of designing the project, she mentioned she and her other two
friends did not realize that the project was aimed for real. In fact, she had to conduct an observation to the hotel, make a call to the hotel, deliver a cover letter, and
interview the hotel staff. “At that time, my friend and I thought that the project was not for real.
However, we are supposed to conduct an observation to the hotel and we called them, sent them a letter and interviewed the receptionist as well as the
HRD.” A4-D45-RWT. Dewi, in her second interview then told me about how she firstly started
making the project. At the first time, she and her other two friends were discussing about the type of the English program they were about to create such as English for
Specific Purpose ESP or English for Academic Purpose EAP. “At the first time, we were requested to create the program. After that, three
of us discussed the project that we were about to make whether it was ESP or EAP.” A7-D2-RWT.
After deciding the project, she and her friends did not know which instances they would choose since they had no connections at all at that time. However, with
a help from their friends, Dewi, then was suggested by one of her friends to go to
