CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODS
In the previous chapter, it has been elaborated the theories related to this
research. This chapter describes the methodological steps carried out in this research. The description includes research design, research setting, research
subjects, research procedure, data collection techniques, instruments and data analysis techniques.
A. Research Design
This research was classified into Research and Development RD that adapted the framework of developing English learning materials by Gall, Gall and
Borg 2003. According to Gall, Gall and Borg 2003, Research and Development is industry-based study. The results of RD are used to develop or
design new products and procedures.
B. Research Setting
The research was conducted from May 2013 to June 2014. It was carried out in the Independent Language Learning Center ILLC of the Center of Language
Development
P2B
located in LPPMP building, first floor, Yogyakarta State University, Karangmalang, Yogyakarta.
C. Research Subjects
The subjects of the research were the students of International Study Program of Mathematics Education who joined the English Speaking Club. The number of
the research subjects was 21 students.
D. Research Procedure
The research procedure employed in this research was adapted from Gall, Gall and Borg 2003. Those steps can be described as follows:
1. Collecting data and information
In collecting the data and information, researcher conducted preliminary observation, literature review and needs analysis. The data and
information were collected with the intention to find out the students learning needs and target needs. After the data were gathered, they were
used as the basis in developing the materials. Therefore, the material
developed would meet the students’ needs.
2. Writing course grids syllabus
The next step after obtaining the data was writing the course grid. The course grid
was written based on the students’ learning needs and target needs. And then it was used as the guideline to develop the materials. The
course grid contained some aspects such as title of the unit, topic, indicators, language focus, procedure and input.
3. Developing the first draft of the materials
The first draft of the material was developed by referring to the course grid and using the appropriate inputs. The material was developed into three
units in which each unit was made up from a number of tasks. In this step, comments and suggestion from experts were needed to produce good
materials. 4.
Evaluating the first draft of the materials expert judgment After finishing writing the first draft of the materials, the researcher asked
experts to evaluate the draft whether the developed material was appropriate for the students or not by distributing evaluation
questionnaires to two experts. The suggestions and feedback from the experts were used to revise the materials.
5. Revising the first draft and writing the final draft of the materials
The first draft that had been evaluated by the experts was revised by referring to the comments and suggestions given by the experts. The
revision of the first draft then was written as the final draft.
6. Making conclusions and recommendation
After writing the final draft, the researcher wrote the conclusion and recommendation regarding to the materials.
E. Data Collection Techniques and Instruments
