A Delivery on the Course of

Research on ELT I

A story about something unique, special, or

interestingstories can be about individuals, organizations, processes, programs,

neighborhoods, institutions, and

even events.(Yin, Robert K. (2003). Case Study Research: Design and Methods. Thousand Oakds: Sage Publications)

A case study research method

is an empirical inquiry that

investigates a contemporary

phenomenon within its real-

life context; when the

boundaries between

phenomenon and context are

not clearly evident; and in

which multiple sources of

evidence are used (Yin, 1984, p. 23)

Critics of the case study

method believe that the

study of a small number

of cases can offer no

grounds for establishing

reliability or generality of

findings.

It gives the story behind

the result by capturing

what happened to bring

it about, and can be a

good opportunity to

highlight a projects success, or to

bring attention to a

particular challenge or

difficulty in a project.

Cases might be selected because they

are highly effective, not effective,

representative, typical, or of special

interest.

Case studies are appropriate when

there is a unique or interesting story

to be told.

Case studies are often used to

provide context to other data (such

as outcome data), offering a more

complete picture of what happened

in the program and why.

Advantages

1. Provide much more detailed information than

what is available through other methods, such as

surveys.

2. Allow one to present data collected from multiple

methods (i.e., surveys, interviews, document

review, and observation) to provide the complete

story.

Disadvantages

1

Can be lengthy

Because they provide detailed information

about the case in narrative form, it may be

difficult to hold a readers interest if too lengthy.

Disadvantages

2

Concern that case studies lack rigor

Case studies have been viewed in the

evaluation and research fields as less

rigorous than surveys or other methods.

Disadvantages

3

Not generalizable

A common complaint about case studies is

that it is difficult to generalize from one

case to another.

6 Steps of Conducting a

Case Study

Research

1. Determine and define the

research questions

2. Select the cases and determine

data gathering and analysis

techniques

3. Prepare to collect the data

4. Collect data in the field

5. Evaluate and analyze the data

6. Prepare the report

referring to research problem.

2.Time of the study is the specified time

schedule when the study is going to be

performed.

SETTING AND TIME OF THE STUDY

1.Research Design is written as

descriptive and qualitative in type

since the data collected are in the form

of words, sentences, documents review

or files that have qualification out of

merely statistic data or figures.

2.Research strategy chosen for this

design is written as case study.

RESEARCH DESIGN

The subject of the study

should be determined

specifically.

SUBJECT OF THE STUDY

Data source can be human

(informants), events or activities, place

or location, objects, taped pictures or

recordings, and documents or files.

Data taken from informants are called

primary data (key informant) and

generally are then transcribed into

written form (transcription) as

secondary data.

DATA AND DATA SOURCE

Sampling technique applied in this

kind of research is purposive

sampling.

It relies on the judgement of the

researcher when it comes to selecting

the units (e.g., people,

cases/organisations, events, pieces of

data) that are to be studied. Usually,

the sample being investigated is quite

small.

OF THE STUDY

1. The setting of the study is located in

Pusat Terapi dan Tumbuh Kembang

Anak Permata Bunda Surakarta.2. Some reasons why choosing 1:

a. Suitability to research problem

b. Experts in the field in question

c. Administration, accomodation,

and familiarity reasons

3. The time schedule to data collection

From August to September 2015

RESEARCH DESIGN

1.Research Design is written as

descriptive and qualitative in

type since the data collected are

in the form of words, sentences,

documents review or files about

Ts language and communication skills.

2.Research strategy chosen for

this design is written as case

study.

SUBJECT OF THE STUDY

1. Subject of the study is T (initial), an

8 year old boy sitting in the fourth

level of elementary school.

2. Some reasons why choosing T:

a. He is verbal autistic

b. He is cooperative and well-

mannered

c. He is able to respond to questions

and commands.

DATA AND DATA SOURCE

Data source

T as a single key informant

Data taken from T are called primary

data and are then transcribed into

written form (transcription) as

secondary data, in the form of words

and sentences.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

Sampling technique applied in this

study is purposive sampling.

It relies on the judgement of the

researcher when it comes to selecting

the subject based on some reasons as

stated in part of subject of the study.

DATA COLLECTION

1. In-depth Interviewing

Interviewing the parents and some experts in

the location of the study

2. Direct Observation

Observing T directly (how he uses Bahasa

Indonesia by referring to the words and

sentences he produces) by recording and field

note-taking

3. Documentation (content analysis)

Some documents on GARS to find out the

languge capability and life history

DATA VALIDATION

Data validation will

be done through data

and data source

triangulation. The

researcher will check

the data by

consulting to the

experts in autism and

speech therapist.

DATA ANALYSIS

1.Data collection and classification

Data collection will be performed

during an observation in a therapy

class through taping and field note-

taking.

Then, the data obtained will be

transcribed and classified

according to points of analysis.

2. Data Reduction

Data collected and classified will

experience reduction due to some

consideration such as less important

to not important based on the

analysis.
