25 researcher drew conclusion on theoretical reasons for code-switching cases in
InfoKomputer magazine. 4.
Integrating and Summarizing the data After identifying process had finished, the researcher tried to summarize
and write the findings of the research.
E. Research Procedure
This section describes the procedure of this research which has been done by the researcher in order to complete the research.
1. Selecting the Target Magazine
In this step, the researcher chose the appropriate magazine which contained sufficient data to be analyzed. The researcher chose InfoKomputer
magazine since it has sufficient data of code-switching phenomenon. 2.
Designing the Observation Checklist The observation checklist was important in this research. Thus, it was
needed to design the observation checklist before the data was collected. Observation checklist was needed to accommodate the data of code-switching
cases from the target magazine. It was used to list all of code-switching cases found in the magazine. Finally, the observation checklist was used to classify the
code-switching cases into its types.

Listing the Code-switching Cases on the Observation Checklist In this step, the researcher read the articles on the magazine and listed all
the code-switching cases found in the magazine. Since all the code-switching cases found were italicized, the process of listing was easier.
4. Analyzing the Types of Code-switching
The listed cases of code-switching found were analyzed and categorized based on the theory presented in Chapter Two. The code-switching cases were
categorized based on the designed checklist of types of code-switching. 5.
Identifying the Theoretical Reasons for Code-switching After analyzing the types of code-switching, the researcher identified the
theoretical reasons for code-switching found in the magazine based on the theories presented in the literature review. In this step, researcher’s personal interpretations
were used to identify the theoretical reasons for code-switching in the magazine. 6.
Making Conclusions Based on the Findings In this step, the researcher drew a conclusion based on the findings which
had been obtained. The conclusion was based on the research problems. The researcher’s interpretation played an important role toward the conclusion.
