2.1 Research Design
The qualitative research design is used in this study.
This research design focuses on providing a clear description,
exploring the meaning of human experiences, and creating the
possibility of change through increased awareness and
purposeful action (Taylor & Francis, 2013). Furthermore, it
encourages close interaction between researchers and
participants, allowing researchers to gain deeper insights into
the collected data. It also gives participants access to their
thoughts, feelings, and desires. This research design is thought
to be the best fit for this study, which seeks to investigate and
determine the challenging experiences of major English
students in language studies in the new normal. This allowed
the researchers to collect enough data to answer the questions
and complete the study's objectives. Furthermore, a case study
method was used in this study, including data analysis and
collection. This study, in particular, adheres to Sharan B.
Merriam's case study methodology. According to Merriam, a
case study is used to gain a comprehensive understanding of
the situation and its implications for everyone involved (1998).
Thus, using Sharan Merriam's case study technique and data
triangulation, the researchers collected data from various
sources, allowing them to investigate and improve their
understanding of the experiences of major English students in
language studies through interviews. The researchers used this
method to convey information that would help readers
understand students' circumstances participating in this new
way of learning.
2.2 Research Environment
The research was conducted in one of the private
higher educational institutions in Pagadian City, Philippines.
2.3 Research Participants
The participants were 10 Second-year BSED majors
in English students who are officially enrolled in Synchronous
and Asynchronous class of S. Y. 2021-2022 and are enrolled
with language studies courses such as ENG 232 Structure of
English, ENG 249 Principles and Theories of Language
Acquisition and Learning, ENG 254 Teaching and
Assessment of Macro skill, ENG 255 Teaching and
Assessment of Grammar and ENG 250 Language programs
and policies in multi lingual.
