Question Answer Coding Description

Would you tell

me your

education background?

Since elementary school I studied in Semarang until university.

Actually I don‟t really remember

before elementary school, but my

family said that I‟m a little naughty

and just playing round with my friends.

How about your English

language background?

I started study English at elementary school. I took English course outside school time, they‟re quite good because they use native speakers as teachers.

In total, how long have you been learning English until now?

I‟m not sure, maybe it‟s about eight

years?

Approximately, how many hours in a week?

Maybe it‟s about three hours a

week. One and half at school and one and half at course.

How about

now?

(40)

reading textbooks, because they‟re

all in English and in daily life I

don‟t use English to have a

conversation with my friends. How about the

motivation to

become an university, said that if you join this exchange student program, you can develop yourself, you can be a better person with a wider vision, and you can get a lot of friends from all over the world, and I heard that Indonesia in 2015 will have an open market and you can find jobs

in Southeast Asia, so I think it‟s

better if I have an experience to be an exchange student.

Is it more about

other people‟s

encouragement or do you have

your own

motivation?

At first it‟s about other people‟s encouragement because I don‟t

really know about exchange new friends.

Would you tell

don‟t have it. They don‟t provide it.

So I have to take the Chinese language class via English language. My teacher in class speaks Chinese most of the time, so

too good, so I don‟t know some

Actually I think English language is quite good to be a way to learn Chinese language because almost everyone knows English..

2 English translation so it really helps me now, also after I studied Chinese via English, not only my Chinese is getting better but also my English is getting better I think, because I have to use English also.

language is useful because his Chinese

obstacles, the hard things that

Like I‟ve told you, that my English

is not too good I think, so I don‟t

know some vocab. So when my teacher explain the Chinese in

English, I still don‟t know what is

that, so I still have to find in dictionary, but not too many words. So I think English really help me and not so many obstacles I face.

listen to people because they don‟t have the letters. But if we have to write or read the Chinese characters, called hanzi, they don‟t

have the same character with English so it‟s quite hard because I have to remember the lines. But if I

have to listen or speak, it‟s easier

for me.

is fine with learning

speaking or listening skill but found that writing or reading skill is quite hard And if you

make the

difficulty into numbers, from 1 very easy, to 10 very difficult, what would it be?

If only about speaking and listening, I think 7.5. If about writing and reading, it is 4. Overall, I think it would be 6.

language, does this experience gives you the experiencing this I think I can learn new things. It just encourage me to learn new things. But the Chinese

language itself I think it‟s not really

related.

5

 (5) Subject A was uncertain

with his

answer at first.

Would you tell me more detail about encourage you to learn new things?

Yeah, like.. Um, my Chinese book is written both in Chinese and English so I have to understand the English in the book and it encourage me to learn another book written in English.

5

 (5) Subject A giving example on generalized

sense of

(43)

How about in life, about other

aspect or

activity in life?

Yeah, I think so, because I can use English to make conversation with Western friends and also Chinese speaking friends. This experience helps me to become a better person.

5 it successfully?

Yeah, I learned that at first I don‟t really understand the Chinese book with English translation, but time by time I can understand it. As long

as I‟m not giving up. I learned

something from it.

5

 (5) Subject A giving another example on successful in learning Chinese really well. Because now if you want to do business or agreement, many is in Chinese. So if I can read Chinese newspaper it will be helpful to do business. I really want to be able to read and write Chinese very well.

Well I think it‟s necessary, because

you know we are.. Indonesians, Japanese, Koreans in one class, so..

They couldn‟t handle like, teaching

in so many difference language.

2 language, which is English?

Yeah..

How about the obstacles, the difficult things that happened, in learning Chinese

language?

Um.. Sometimes some vocabulary, some words, the Chinese words, the

teacher used in English isn‟t the

normally used. It‟s like.. Special term, special words. So then I have to look up the normal one. But it‟s

vocabulary and English

translation.

 (3) Subject P perceived that the obstacle is

make that much difference if I learn from German. I think it‟s better because when I have to speak English and Chinese, my brain will

(48)

work more. Because when I have Chinese in Germany, when we talk

it in German, probably I won‟t be

remembering the other words. I think you have to be active, you have to speak English and Chinese. So it will be more work. If it is in thought that by using English language he would be able to remember Chinese

language better than using his

language itself is difficult whether

learning it with English

language or his native

language. Oh, so because

English is your second language so your brain is more active?

Yeah, maybe because my English

skill is not much more, but it‟s

because you have to be active.

So it‟s because

of the Chinese language not English

language?

I think it‟s both.

If you make the difficulty into numbers, from 1

they haven‟t study other languages and they are always asking “Why it‟s like this?” It‟s so different with other language, but you know it‟s
