Table 3.1. The Blueprint of the Need Analysis Questionnaire Concept Construct mapping Indicators Question items Reading Competence The students’ present competence of reading 1. How is the competence of the students? 1. I am good at reading The need of English The needs of reading for mechanical engineering students 2. The importance of reading competence for students in their study and future 1. To get a good score in Mechanical Engineering subject, I need to be able to read English article or text. 2. Kinds of jobs which I am going to apply requires me to be able to read kinds of text in English 3. Most books which I require to improve my mechanical skills are in English, so that, I have to read well in English Learning process Learning process of reading competence The benefit of reading practice 1. I will not be able to read English if I do not practice 2. By doing a lot of practice in reading, I will be able to read mechanical books easier. 3. Predicting and previewing will make me capable to read standard operational procedure SOP and mechanical references. 4. guessing the meaning of unknown words make me more quickly in reading mechanical references. 5. my knowledge in mechanical skills will enlarge when I capable to draw a conclusion from English references quickly 6. learning mechanical texts is easier if I can find idea of mechanical texts quickly, 7. Interpreting text will help me to be able to study mechanical references. The use of Technology The benefit of CALL in learning reading The way the use of technology to teach and learn English reading in class. 1. I have used technology electronic dictionary, short film in YouTube, googling, in learning English. 2. When I practice reading by using computer application, the features which I expected are able to provide interactive exercises so that I can evaluate my reading skills. 3. Practicing reading with computer application which has various features will encourage to study reading. 4. Reading practice using computer Table 3.1. The Blueprint of the Need Analysis Questionnaire continued. application will make me control the learning speed. 5. By applying easy - used computer application in reading exercises make me capable to operate the application. In the research, the researcher made interviews to the students as participants. In the pre- research, the researcher made interviews in order to recognize what problems the students faced especially in reading. The interviews were given at the end of every cycle as the reflection. Its aim was to recognize how far the action influences the students reading competence. The meaning of interview is the way of the researcher collecting data from the participant point of view about the problems in reading and also the learning process by using CALL. The researcher and the participants, mechanical engineering students together discussed about problems and solution in improving reading competence. The researcher tries to discover the most appropriate technique or strategy in this class action research. The interview was also conducted to reflect what the students have done with CALL in every cycle. The interview was about the learning process by using CALL. The result of the interview with students was very important for the process of the action research. The result of the interview was used to improve the learning process and to improve the achievement of reading competence in every cycle. The qualitative data Table 3.1. The Blueprint of the Need Analysis Questionnaire continued. of the action research were used to collect the data through the participants’ comments who were involved in the process of doing action research. The interview was about students’ background knowledge, the needs of reading skills, the problems of reading, and the way of solving the problems, the use of technology. Table. 3.2. The Blueprint of Students Reflection Interview Concept Construct Data gathering instruments Reading competence Students’ reading competence in conveying meaning from the text Students have low reading competence. The needs of reading The importance of reading competence reading competence is important for students in their study and future Learning process in classroom The problems of reading in conveying meaning Some problem which faced by students in conveying meaning of reading text. The way of solving the problems The reading skills which need to consider in comprehending the reading text The use of CALL in reading The benefit of CALL in learning reading There several benefit of CALL which used to improve students’ reading skills. The interview was also conducted after the cycle, the students were asked to give feedbacks of what they had done using the cycle. The result of interview was important because the results of the interview were used to reflect the cycle and they were used to decide the next plan of the cycle.
