CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOLOGY This chapter, the researcher presents the research method, it

covers research design, research settings, research data collection methods, and data analysis
methods.
3.1 Research Design
Concerning the research question, the research used a qualitative research method. According to
Ary, et al. (2012: 426) research design is a reseachers plan of how to proceed and understanding of
some group or some phenomenon in its natural setting. There are several research designs. Those
who are historical research, experiments, ex post factors, descriptive research, this research, the
researcher used descriptive data from this research. According to Ary et al. (2012: 12), qualitative
researcher as to understand a phenomenon by focusing on the total picture rather than breaking it
down into variables. The researchers want to investigate what pronunciation obstacle to speaking is
and how to use numerical analysis of data. using case study design in qualitative research method
3.2 Research Settings The researchers have set the focus on students of pronunciation in speaking
skills. This research used the Eight Grade 21 22 Students of V1l class at MTs As SULTHANIYAH to the
2016-2017 consisting of 19 students Pronunciation is important to communication especially to learn
and use correctly. The pronunciation is one of the most effective pronunciation tools in the
classroom. 3.3 Research Instrument 3.3.1 Observation Field Note in this classroom observation, the
subject of observation is obstacle pronunciation in speaking by students that makes students
pronunciation obstacle to speak in English class. The researcher will use field note. According to
Creswell (2009) in these field notes, researcher records, unstructured semi structured ways (using
some prior questions that the inquirer wants to know), activity at the research site. The researcher
uses non-participant observation 3.3.1 Interview This study is about the analysis of the pronunciation
obstacle in speaking English classroom. The researcher to collect data uses the interview with the
student and also use interview structure. 3.3.2 Documentation Prior (2003: 87) in Cohen (2007: 201)
stated that documentations are useful in rendering more visible the under study phenomenon 23 3.4
Data and Source of Data 3.4.1 Definition of Data The data does not use statistics that requires
numerical data. Therefore, the data are collected and recorded in description, not symbols or
numbe. Data representing students language learning and teaching process. Example would be the
description of what language performance students can show to represent their language
competence 3.4.2 Type of Data The data includes the results of observation (the primary data
teaching and learning process), the students speaking and field notes. The researcher observes the
teaching process to the students of speaking about English speaking skills about the secondary
teaching: pronunciation obstacle in English. 3.4.3 Source of Data The source of data in this study is
done through an observation at eight grade of MTs As-Sulthaniyah. The researcher used observes the
solution to pronunciation obstacle to overcome the obstacle.
24 3.5 Data Collection Method In this study, the researcher used some research instruments to
collect documentation. They are data reduction, data display, and conclusion data (Latief, 2016, 96-
97) 3.5.1 Observation Observation is either a living activity (such as), consisting of receiving
knowledge outside the world though the sense, or the recording of data using scientific instruments.
The term may also refer to data collected during this activity. Khotari (2010: 49). The reason for the
researcher chose this kind of instrument because even though observation, the researcher not only
gained personal impression, but also felt the atmosphere of social situation under study 3.4.2
Interview An interview between two or more people (the interviewer) and the interviewee) where
the questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain information from the interview fact information,
r of a survey (sugiyono: 2008). The purpose of the interview is more clear, where the subject
interviews ask their opinions and find their problems based ideas on the topic
25 3.4.3 Documentation Prior (2003: 87) in Cohen (2007: 201) stated that documentations are useful
in rendering more visible the under study phenomenon. Documentation use by researcher to know
the activity when observing the eighth grade students at MTs As-Sulthaniyah 3.6 Data Analysis
Method A researcher or study there must be data to conduct research or study done because it
involved concrete data and abstract concept. And it must be done interactively and continually. In
data analysis technique, the data used was analyzed from the field and documentation. They are
data reduction, data display, and data conclusions (Latief, 2016,: 96-97), 3.5.1 Data Reduction Data
reduction means summarize. It is the process of sorting focusing, and transforming Latief (2016: 11).
In this data reduction, it is a summarizing process that is important, that is, focusing on the issues
and patterns that are important 3.5.2 Data Display access information, delivering and conveying a
command about teacher and students, after data reduction, next step is to display data to make it
easier to understand what is happening. In qualitative research can be done with
26 table, graph, and etch. Looking for data display help us understand what is happening and to do
things (Miles and Huberman, 2010: 249), 3.5.3 Conclusion Conclusion in qualitative research may be
able to answer the problem formulation from the beginning, but maybe not, because of the
problems and formulations of qualitative research still temporary and will be developed after
research. Then, the results of the analysis were tested for reliability and validity through
triangulation. It was intended to get the right data, validity and reliability of the data. Also a final
conclusion of the data that had been analyzed.
