CHAPTER FOUR: DATA ANALYSIS, PRESENTATION, AND INTERPRETATION

4.1 Introduction

This chapter presents a comprehensive presentation of the data analysis and interpretations of

the data collected and analyzed. The findings presented in this analysis output were based on

the researcher's data by use of two research instruments: questionnaires and interviews. The

study examined the attitudes of the respondents towards other languages that are not their

native languages. The response rate received was encouraging and provided adequate data for

the analysis and reporting. In most previous studies on different topics, the researchers have

reported the response rate of 60% to be good and more than 70% to be excellent. In the light

of these assertions, the response rate for the current study was significant. The study

presented the findings by use of frequency distribution on tables and bar graphs as shown in

the below.

The findings on table one shows that there were more respondents who stated that English as

their native language. This was at a high of 82.4%. Those who had Tamil as their native

language were the lowest at a low of 5.9%. Finally, the respondents composed of other small

languages were recorded as ‘others’. These were made of 11.8% of the total respondents; this

portion of the respondents was made of whose native language was Russian, Filipino, Hindu,

Telugu or Bulgarian. Concerning the age of the respondents, the findings show that there

were more respondents above 30years, at 56.5%. Those who were 18-30years old were at a

high of 43.5%, the findings shows that the age of the sample population was normally

distributed between the youth and the old people.

On the question of any other language spoken by the respondents, English was mostly

understood by most people, with most respondents having the ability to read, write and

communicate comfortably in English at a high of 21.2%. However, the largest portion of the

respondents, which is 40% of the people who took part in the study, stated that they could not

speak any other language. There was a portion of the respondents with the ability to speak in

Spanish (7.1%); those who could speak in Tamil were at 5.9%, which was a tie with those

who could converse in Hindu. The smallest portion of the respondents was made of the

people who could speak in German at 1.2%. These findings show that most people among the

respondents could not really speak in any other language apart from their native languages.

This shows the lack of interest and dislike for other languages. The study also shows that if

one has interest and a positive attitude towards any language, then they are able to learn and

understand the language very fast. The findings also show that there were more male

respondents at 63.5%, compared to the female respondents at 36.5%. Those who agreed to

have studied or taken a course on linguistic with an intention of learning another language

were at 29.4%. These respondents were lower than those who stated that they did not take

any linguistic classes in order to learn another language, this was at 70.6%.

On the question of the language likes and dislikes, the findings show that most respondents

said they like French, this was at 22.4%. This was a tie with those who liked English and

other languages which were also at 22.4%. The smallest portion of the respondents as those

who stated that they like how the Dutch language sounds; this was at 2.4%. The findings also

show that even though most people did not feel like the other languages were their native

languages, they still found them good. They still felt like their sounds were beautiful and

interesting. This is because these languages are new and beautiful to them; these languages

may be more interesting because they are unfamiliar. However, the respondents did not like

or did not feel like all the languages were appealing to them.

SHE SOUNDS SO FASCINATING

AND ENERGETIC. 1 1.2 1.2 78.8

She talked to loud for this type of up

beat language. Didn't like the flow of

the language.

1 1.2 1.2 80.0

sounded like noise. 1 1.2 1.2 81.2

sounded rushed and monotone 1 1.2 1.2 82.4

sounds crazy 1 1.2 1.2 83.5

Sounds energetic 1 1.2 1.2 84.7

sounds good 1 1.2 1.2 85.9

Sounds have more phlegm noises 1 1.2 1.2 87.1

speaks gutturally 1 1.2 1.2 88.2

Spoken harshly and with speed 1 1.2 1.2 89.4

The sound is a little high pitched but

nothing that would be irritable yet. 1 1.2 1.2 90.6

this didn't really affect me 1 1.2 1.2 91.8

This language has harsh consonants

and is somewhat pushy(?). The

speaker was very fast. It sounded

like she was trying to explain

something.

1 1.2 1.2 92.9

This one also sounded fast 1 1.2 1.2 94.1

This usage deemphasizes the throat

and uses the [zj] more prominently. 1 1.2 1.2 95.3

Tone is not soft 1 1.2 1.2 96.5

Trill sounds are a bit hard for my

ears 1 1.2 1.2 97.6

interesting and not unpleasant 1 1.2 1.2 5.9

Any i wasn't familiar with 1 1.2 1.2 7.1

ANy of them would be a challenge,

but the first sounded like it had softer

tones and consonants, making it

easier to pronounce

Arabic 1 1.2 1.2 9.4

clip 3. because it sounded the most

pleasant. 1 1.2 1.2 15.3

Clip 5 because I liked that one the

most out of them all. It sounded the

most European and the easiest to

learn.

1 1.2 1.2 16.5

Either the first one, or the second-to-

the-last. They had a smoother,

softer sound to them.

I do not think I would like to speak

one of them. I did not care for any of

them

1 1.2 1.2 32.9

I don't think I would like to learn any

of the languages from the previous

I don't know. I don't know what

language any of these are. 1 1.2 1.2 35.3

i like very much easier 1 1.2 1.2 38.8

I liked the third one best, because it

flowed nicely. 1 1.2 1.2 40.0

I suspect one or more is Arabic or an

Arabic-derived language and Arabic

is also a useful language to know.

1 1.2 1.2 41.2

I think I heard French? I would want

to learn that so I could travel. 1 1.2 1.2 42.4

I think I would choose the first one

because it sounded like Spanish so it

felt most familiar to me.

1 1.2 1.2 43.5

I would learn the third one because it

was beautiful and calming. 1 1.2 1.2 44.7

Indian. It is a growing, prominent

language in the world 1 1.2 1.2 45.9

It would be one of the last 2, they

seem to flow easier. 1 1.2 1.2 47.1

Number three as sounds quite calm

and friendly. 1 1.2 1.2 60.0

Probably #2 1 1.2 1.2 61.2

Probably the 3rd, because it was

slower paced so I feel like it would

be easier to learn.

the one with the upbeat voice

because it was more pleasant to

listen to.

1 1.2 1.2 81.2

more like other languages I like 1 1.2 1.2 82.4

The second one 1 1.2 1.2 83.5

The second one sounds like it's just

a beautiful language 1 1.2 1.2 84.7

The second one the Arab sounding

one because it was most calm and

has a good flow to the language and

tone. Even if it sounded angry or

mad, the language would not sound

all that bad.

1 1.2 1.2 85.9

The second to last 1 1.2 1.2 87.1

The third feels like the best match for

my personality and social goals 1 1.2 1.2 88.2
