Research Methodology

    To identify the levels of effectiveness of acquiring L2 among IKM Jasin students.


          What are the levels of effectiveness of acquiring L2 among IKM Jasin students?

Research Approach :  Qualitative

Research Design :   Survey research design -  as this RO is  to identify the level of effectiveness of acquiring L2, a longitude design survey will be used, which is a panel study. The same sample of individuals will be surveyed and tested several times, during the course of the study in order to get the levels of effectiveness of acquiring L2 among them.

Research Instruments : Achievement test

Data Analysis : The data will be analysed by using descriptive statistics, in which the information collected will be described narratively, in order to present it as richly as possible.

To investigate the causes contribute to the effectiveness of acquiring L2 among IKM Jasin students.

         What are the causes contribute to the effectiveness of acquiring L2 among IKM Jasin students?


Research Approach : Qualitative

Research Design : Survey research design – it is because the RQ only tries to discover the causes contribute to the effectiveness of acquiring L2 among the students, and the main concern here is to get opinions and views of a group of people about a particular issue. When survey research design is applied, information will be collected from a group of people in order to describe some aspects of characteristics of the population (such as abilities, opinions, attitudes, beliefs or knowledge) of which that group is a part (Frankel, J.R., Wallen, N.E. and Hyun, H.H., 2012).

Research Instrument : Questionnaire

Data Analysis : Descriptive statistics will be used as the information collected in many scores will be described with a few indices, which are mean or standard deviation. The findings from the questionnaire will be clarified through a narrative description of some sort.

   To determine the ways to improve the effectiveness of acquiring L2 among IKM Jasin students.


             What are the ways to improve the effectiveness of acquiring L2 among IKM Jasin students?


Research Approach : Qualitative

Research Design : Survey research design – in order to achieve the RO, the main way in which the information will be collected is through asking questions. The answers to these questions by the members of the group (samples) will constitute the data of the study. A cross-sectional survey is appropriate to be used for collecting the data.

Research Instrument : Questionnaire

Data Analysis : Descriptive statistics will be used as the information collected in many scores will be described with a few indices, which are mean or standard deviation. The findings from the questionnaire will be clarified through a narrative description of some sort.
