alternative answer. It was used to obtain more information from the participants because they were permitted to answer the questions freely. In
this study, the writer used both of types of questionnaire. 3.
Interviews In this study, the interview was conducted only after the writer gets
data from the questionnaires. The interview was mainly conducted to the lecturer of Sanata Dharma University.
According to Nasution 2003, there are two types of interviews, namely structured and unstructured interview. The first type of interview
is chosen because in the structured interview, the questions have been formulated before. The formulation can be used as the basis of the
interviewee while conducting an interview. By using structured interview, it is expected that the interview can be more organized. As a result, the
writer can get sufficient input to design the instructional materials. Basically, in the interview, the writer intends to ask about the lecturer’s
experience as English lectures of Accounting Program.

3.5 Data Analyzing Technique
Since the research use two types of questionnaires, namely restricted or closed-form and restricted or open-form, two types of data are gathered.
47
For restricted or closed-form, the assessment of the participants’ opinion on the
designed materials used five points of agreement:
1 = if you strongly disagree with the statement 2 = if you disagree with the statement
3 = if you agree with the statement. 4 = if you strongly agree with the statement
Then the data of restricted or closed-form were calculated using measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency consist of:
- mean: an average of all the scores in a distribution
- median: the midpoint in a distribution - mode:
the most frequent score in a distribution The table of measures of central tendency is as follows:
Table 5. Measures of Central Tendency
Central Tendency No

Abbreviations: N = number of participants
Md = mode
The formula to get central tendency mode is: ∑ X
X = —— N
48
Notes: X
= the mean average point X =
scores ∑X
= the sum of the score N
= the total number of the subject From the degree of agreement in the questionnaire, the writer determined
the average score or mean from the participants. The mean was used to show whether the materials designed were good enough, it was acceptable or not. The
degree of agreement were outlined as follows: 0 – 1
= It was not appropriate 1 – 2
= It was good, but it was needed revision 2.1 – 4
= Designed materials were appropriate and acceptable
