THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY USED IN THE JOURNAL THAT COMPILED By Yogi Saputra Mahmud

Hello everyone!!!

Welcome back to my blog J

This is the second blog in 4^th semester and Last week I had wrote the review about abstract and introduction in the journal, Now the review is about theoretical framework and research methodology. Let’s read it till the end......

1.      Theoretical framework

This journal used the theory “the notion of foreign language anxiety (FLA)”  by Horwitz and cope (1986). Categories of FLA proposed by Horwitz divided into three points and each point have the different definition or meaning. You can read the three catogories of FLA below :

a)      Test anxiety : relates to the students’ nervousness during learning and practice of speaking skill in the classroom.

b)      Fear of negative evaluation : relates to the students’ perception about negative criticism that will be disclosed by their teachers and their peers.

c)      Communication apprehension : relates to the students’ ability in communication skill. The students feel that they do not have communication skill.

2.      Reseach methodology

The researcher begin with an investigation of data analysis from other researchers which has the relevant field. On the other words the researcher used synthesis method (make a new theory that took from two or more the other researchers’ theories after do the research). In this paper the researcher do several research steps, the first step is he develops research question, the second step is he identifies and evaluates the available dataset, and the last step is he presents the identification and evaluation result of the dataset to answer the research question.

That all my review about theoretical framework and research methodology in the journal that I choosen last week. I hope you can get some new knowledge after read my blog and please wait for the next review J.
