3.1 Research Design

The observation is located in Jl. Universitas, no.24. This research will be done by applying the qualitative method. Bodgan and Taylor 1989:42 define qualitative method as a procedure generates data in the form of descriptive words written or spoken from people and observed behavior. Bodgan and Biklen 1982 propose five characteristics of qualitative research as quoted from Sugiyono 2009 : 21, they are : a. Qualitative research has the natural setting as the direct source of data and researcher is the key instrument. b. Qualitative research is descriptive. The data collected is in the form of words of pictures rather than number. c. Qualitative research are concerns with process rather than simply with outcomes or products. d. Qualitative research tends to analyze their data inductively. e. “Meaning” is essential to the qualitative approach. As quoted from Dr. Mahsun, M.S. that entitled Metode Penelitian Bahasa 2005: 232: “Pada penelitian kualitatif, paradigma metodologis yang digunakan induktif. Kegiatan penyediaan datanya merupakan kegiatan yang berlangsung secara simultan dengan kegiatan analisis data, prosesnya berbentuk siklus bukan linear. Hal ini tentu tidak lepas pula dari hakikat penelititan kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk memahami fenomena sosial termasuk fenomena kebahasaan yang tengah diteliti”. In qualitative research, the method that used is inductive. The 22 activity in supplying the data is an activity that takes place in stimulant with an activity in data analysis; the process is organized in cycles not linear. Of course, it is not release from the basic of qualitative research that the propose is to understand the phenomenon of social belonging to phenomenon of language which is being do. Therefore, in this method by seeing the participants’ culture, what participants see as important in behavior, physical or social environment, or other factors are done for doing this thesis. In addition, in analyzing the data, the descriptive method is relevant to be used in the process of the research. The procedure of descriptive theory is done by describing or explaining the data. As what Nawawi 1995:63 says “metode deskriptif dapat diartikan sebagai prosedur pemecahan masalah yang diselidiki dengan menggambarkan atau melukiskan keadaan subjek atau objek penelitian seseorang lembaga, masyarakat, dan lain-lain pada saat sekarang berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang tampak atau sebagaimana adanya”. The descriptive method can be meant as the procedure to solve the problem which is researched with describes the condition of subject or object of the research person, organization, society, etc in this time base on the concrete actual facts or the way of things exists. This is due to the data collected, analyzed, and presented descriptively. Descriptive method is different from other methods, such as prescriptive or other methods. Descriptive method has several characteristics, namely: 1. Not concerned about right or wrong subject studied. 2. An emphasis on the actual symptoms occur in the time of the study. 3. Usually not directed to test the hypothesis.
