40 Kemp’s model was also applied in this step. The researcher made some calculation
on budget as well as facilities and available equipment to support the designed product as well as the time management to conduct the study. This is important since
the availability of those support services helped the designer conduct study in schedule.
3. Preliminary testing
In this step, the researcher applied the pre-assessment step from Kemp’s model under the preliminary testing step from RD. In this step, the researcher
conducted pretesting of the designed product. The pretest of the product was carried out by having the experts to evaluate the products.
4. Product revision
In this step, the researcher applied the evaluation step from Kemp’s model under the product revision step from RD. The designer conducted the revision
based on the evaluation from the experts. After that, the researcher prepared to implement the product in a real classroom.
5. Main field testing
In this step, the researcher applied the product that had been revised by the experts. In this step, the designer distributed questionnaire to obtain students opinion
on the designed learning activities that they had experienced. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology which was applied in this study. To get a good order of the explanation, this chapter is divided into six parts, they are:
research method, research participants, research instruments, data gathering technique and data analysis technique.
A. Research Method
There were two major problems as stated in Chapter I. Firstly; the research was conducted in order to find out the ideal design of storytelling learning activities
to enhance English speaking skills for the members of storytelling club in Van Lith Senior High School. Secondly, the research was aimed to find out how the students’
English speaking skill is enhanced through experiencing the storytelling learning activities. To solve these problems, the researchers would conduct the combination
of qualitative and quantitative research Ary et al, 2002: 25. This research used observation, library study, interview checklist, and questionnaire as the research
instruments.
The researcher applied Research and Development RD since the
research was an educational research which aimed to develop and validate educational products. RD has some steps to be followed which are usually called as
RD cycle. It consists of several parts as follows: PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
