Abstract
In the first cycle of this phenomenological investigation, where the researcher conducted an extensive coding process (i.e., descriptive coding), all of the previous codes were identified under textural descriptions. This first cycle of coding was completed with codes having been formed following an initial deconstruction phase of the raw data given by all participants. Next, a plethora of emerging themes was identified under structural descriptions. The next step comprised the second cycle of coding: pattern coding. Where the second type of coding in the coding phase was involved, the researcher found all participants' common speech patterns by meta coding. The researcher applied the meta coding technique via IPA-based meta transcriptions. From a linguistic perspective, the researcher employed the type of data analysis that had not previously been exercised in the CALL field and in the realm of phenomenological study design: phonics in data analysis.
