| Summary: | The purpose of this research is to discover the characteristics of effective English
Language teaching software amongst first and second year Electrical Engineering degree
undergraduates in KUiTTHO. "The English Language Teacher Software" was written for
this purpose and distributed among 25 samples consisting of first and second year
undergraduates in KUiTTHO. The results were obtained and analyzed using 3
techniques, namely the Questionnaire Distribution Technique, The Oral Interview
Technique and the Personal Observation Technique. The usage of three different
techniques of analysis fulfills the requirement for the triangulation technique, a
statistically valid technique or qualitative sampling and observation. This research is a
Descriptive Univariate research. Therefore the questionnaires created utilized the Likert
scale, which is also a discrete scale for valid statistical analysis. Using the Questionnaire
Distribution Technique, 57 questions were prepared. The data collected from the
Questionnaire distribution method were analyzed using the central tendency criterion and
the results were compared with other research techniques used in this project, namely the
Personal Observation Analysis Method and the Oral Interview Method. Through the
process of triangulation, the data common to all three techniques were analyzed and
noted down. These data pinpoint the weaknesses and strengths of the "English Language
Teacher Software" and highlighted the important key elements that could be used for
further research in the next version of the software. |
