F. Data Trustworthiness
Data trustworthiness is an effort to gain data reliability in qualitative research. Moleong 2001 states that the trustworthiness of data of research can be gained
by conforming four criteria; they are credibility, dependability, conformability, and transferability.
In this research, the trustworthiness was gained by using credibility and dependability. Credibility is concerned with the accuracy of the data. The
researcher performed deep and detail observation of the data, and applied theories from experts of translation to confirm the research data. Dependability refers to
the stability and track ability of the changes in data over time and conditions. The researcher examined both the process and the product of the research for
consistency to achieve the degree of dependability. Credibility serves as an inquiry to gain reliability. In achieving credibility, the
researcher carried out deep and detailed observation on the data, so the data can be regarded credible. The researcher read the novel comprehensively and
confirmed selected data carefully; the data were coordinate with the research question.
To get dependability of the data, the researcher used the triangulation technique. It means that he use sources outside the data to verify the data
themselves or to compare them. The researcher tended to use other observers and
