40 Questionnaires were distributed to English lecturers. Those questionnaires were
used to gain as much feedback as possible to revise the material design.
5. Main Product Revision
According to Borg and Gall 1983, revision of product is done as suggested by the preliminary field-test results p. 775. After getting the feedback
and suggestions from the lectures, the writer revised the material design. The material design was revised based on what the lectures recommended to produce a
good final product. The R D cycle was used as the foundation in designing the materials.
The writer’s stages were also under the principles of the R D Cycle. Each stage of the R D cycle and the writer’s model support and relate each other. In the
research and information collecting stage, the writer carried out needs analysis. The process of listing standard competences, basic competences, determining
topics and determining indicators were done in the planning stage. The stage of development of preliminary forms of product covered the process of selecting the
teaching and learning activities and material development. Preliminary field testing included evaluation process. The last stage of R D cycle namely main
product revision covered the revision stage of the writer’s model. In order to give concrete explanation, the writer provided the relationship between the writer’s
model and the R D cycle which was shown in figure 3.1 on the next page 41. The figure showed that the writer’s model covering the R D cycle.
