Keywords:
English Majors, Research, Data AnalysisAbstract
The present study is conducted to understand the issues regarding the data analysis process of Pakistani English major students. The study is conducted to address all the problems and is intended to propose a possible solution for the data analysis processing in the field of research. The study is quantitative, and data is collected through self-administered close-ended questions. 50 participants are selected as the sample through which data is collected. Data is analyzed in MS Excel 2016 while frequencies, the percentages and the mean values are calculated to describe the issues of the participants. The results show that students face different problems in data analysis, including model adoptions, generalization, discussion, technological usage, new trends, and new model awareness, as well as formatting issues. The study recommends that the use of internet sources, classroom practices, and workshops can lead towards more competency of the participants regarding the data analysis processing in the field of English language research.
