The collected data will be processed as follow. For close-ended questions, after using statistical analysis, the researcher will compare the calculated figures then come out the findings but for open-ended questions, the answers which are phrases will be analyzed in terms of their type of English (formal or informal) and then also be examined statistically as well to supplement the conclusions.
