Sampling Procedure

This study will employ a purposive sampling method. Frost (2023) defined

purposive sampling as a non-probability method for obtaining a sample where

researchers use their expertise to choose specific participants that will help the study

meet its goals. These subjects have characteristics that the researchers need to

evaluate their research question. In other words, the researchers pick the participants

“on purpose.”

Frost (2023) added that purposive sampling is used when learning a lot from a

small sample is necessary and one is knowledgeable enough about the subject to

identify which topics are crucial to the study. This strategy can assist in concentrating on

a specifically defined subpopulation, key players in a process, typical cases, or unique

cases. A group of techniques known as "purposeful sampling" employ various strategies

to respond to the research topic.

In this study purposive sampling will be used by the researchers in identifying

respondents who necessarily help putting things in this research in place. The samples

will be identified based on their performance in the class employing the basics of

English communication as evident on their academic endeavors and more so on their

academic achievement. Furthermore, the sampling technique will help the researchers

conveniently gather the necessary information considering the saturation stage or

phase as the springboard.

Research Instrument

A structured interview will be used in this research study. In a structured

interview, the interviewer proceeds to ask the interviewee certain questions in a

predetermined sequence. The interviewer compiles the candidate's responses.

Interviewers can get similar types of information provided in a consistent context from

interviewees by asking the same questions in the same order (Indeed, 2023).

Velasquez and Freier (2023) said that when conducting a structured interview, all

respondents are subjected to the same set of predefined questions. Structured

interviews are characterized by a predetermined list of questions that interviewers ask

all candidates. Giving an overarching structure to the interview provides a consistent

experience for all candidates. Structured interviews also help interviewers avoid asking

redundant questions.

In this research a clear series of steps will be prepared for a structured interview.

The researchers first studied the profile of the respondents for an easy crafting of the

questions for the interview. Afterwards, the researchers will identify certain areas of the

research variable that will be necessary in gathering reliable and valid data. Then,

questions will be framed and crafted. These questions will be subjected for validation for

its effectivity. A Senior High School teacher who at the same time a practical research

teacher will be consulted as a validator of the instrument. Upon validation, a system of

evaluating the questions based on the standard criteria needed in this study that will

include the content and answers will easily be generalized. Then, the validator will be

scrutinizing its usability whether will be effectively used or will be leading to erroneous

result. However, establishing validity and reliability in qualitative research can be less
precise, though participant/member checks, peer evaluation (another researcher checks

the researcher’s inferences based on the instrument (Denzin & Lincoln, 2005).

After the instrument is validated, the researchers will discuss the instrument that

will be used in cases necessary adjustments will be done. After clearing things from the

instrument, the researchers will be setting date for the conduct of the interview.
