Good day fellas,
Today I'm going to write down the final part of journal review that I've been reviewed throughout the whole semester. Today's topic is the results of that said journal, but before going to the results I'm going to remind you about the topic of the journal. The journal is about the interference of mother tongue in one's ability to produce speech in English, with that being said the journal is revolved around the observation of several students from 2 schools in rural area, the main point of this journal is to observe the usage of mother tongue and second language (English) of the students in producing speech and they preferred language as well as the reasons behind their choice.
First of all, the observation is done through a direct interview with each students, the results vary from one to another and it should be noted that most of the students find it difficult to produce speech in English directly, thus they use their mother tongue instead before translating it into English. However, some students choose to use English instead of their mother tongue despite some error in their speech, the reasons vary from the importance of English (hence they choose to learn and use it) to personal goals.
One important finding from this observation is that most students rely on the translation method from their mother tongue to comprehend their English speech. It is also denoted that the momos difficult study of English is speaking, specifically producing speech.

Journal Review: Comparison of 2 Journals
Greeting, fellas.
Today in a series of journal review I'd like to write something a bit different from my previous posts. Today's topic will be revolved around 2 journal in similar subject and comparison between them in term of method used. The first journal is The Interference of Mother Tongue/Native Language in One’s English Language Speech Production (Suliman A. 2014) and the second journal is Impact of Mother Tongue on Learning English Language on Secondary School Level Students (2017). As the names imply, both journal use a similar topic, which is the existence of mother language while learning another language, specifically English.
Methodology
While both journals elaborate similar topic, it is obvious that the authors of both journal use different method in their observation. The first journal for instance, use a qualitative method to determine the result of the observation, whereas the second journal use quantitative method, specifically Chi-Square to gather the data.
Furthermore, the first journal used an interview to gather the information needed from sample subject, and the author used some kind of personal approach with the sample, the method used is similar to a conversation rather than a question and answer session. On the other hand, the second journal differentiate the sample based on several aspect, such as marks of English, and then write it down in a metric and Chi-Square, followed by an analysis, thus the result is gathered.
It should be noted that, even though both authors used similar topic for their journal, the number of sample used is different, hence the method and approach used is different as the current method that both authors use is better than the latter and vice versa.
