B. The Presentation of the Instructional Designed Materials

The presentation of the designed materials for Mechanical Engineering Students of Sanata Dharma University answers the second question in the problem formulation. The final version of the designed set of materials is presented after some revisions and improvements based on the comments, criticism, and suggestions from the respondents. The final version of the designed set materials contains eight units. Each unit is allocated for one meeting covering 2 x 50 minutes. The details of the topics in the final version of the designed materials are presented in Table 4.5. Table 4.5. The Order of the Topics in the Designed Materials Unit Topic Unit Title 1 Describing procedure How to Use a Machine How a Machine Works The Four-Stroke Cycle 2 Giving instruction Rubber Plug Method of Tubeless Tire Repair 3 Describing chart Chart of a Compression Process 4 Apology Phoning a Garage 5 Describing Thing Hybrid Car 6 Job application letter and interview Applying for a Job The designed materials generally contain seven activities. They are Let’s Review , Browse Your Idea, New Stuffs, Sharpen Your Skill, Language Focus, Act Up , and Let’s Conclude. The details of each part are as follows. 49

a. Let’s Review

In this first section, students recall their memory on what they have learned last meeting. Teacher helps them by giving questions related to the previous material. As an exception, in unit 1 students review Greeting and Introduction

b. Browse Your Idea

In the second section students brainstorm their idea around the material that is going to be learned. Pictures and charts are used to help them in brainstorming their knowledge.

c. New Stuffs

In this section students are introduced to the new vocabulary and patterns. This is done so that the students can understand the material easier.

d. Sharpen Your Skill

This section contains the exercises that should be done by the students. They are exposed to reading and listening material to help them in understanding the topic.

e. Language Focus

In this section, the grammar used is discussed. Students are also to analyze the grammatical point of the reading or listening passage.

f. Act Up

In this section, students are given the chance to perform themselves. They are to present their writing or speaking. 50

g. Let’s Conclude

In the last section students are to retell about what they have learned. Teacher helps them by giving questions related to the material that they have studied. In addition, the designed materials have some strength as mentioned by the respondents. The designed materials are simply-designed but applicable. They also contain some topics that are relevant to the Mechanical Engineering field. Moreover, they have graded and clear steps of teaching process. Therefore, they are really appropriate materials. The complete designed materials are presented in Appendix G. 51

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

This chapter consists of two parts. The first part is conclusions of the study. The second part is the suggestions for the Mechanical Engineering students, for the English lecturers, and for the future researchers who are interested in conducting similar studies.

A. Conclusions

The purpose of this study was to design English instructional materials for the Mechanical Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. The writer began the study by formulating two problems to be answered. The first problem was how the English instructional materials for the Mechanical Engineering students of Sanata Dharma University were designed. The second question was what the designed English instructional materials for the Mechanical Engineering students of Sanata Dharma University look like. To answer those two questions, the writer employed research and development R D method. In this study, the writer employed only step one to step five. The first step, research and information collecting, was named into Pre- Design Activities. The second step, planning, and the third step, developing preliminary form of product, were named into Design Activities. She combined the rest of the steps into Post- Design Activities. However, in this research the writer modified the fourth step, preliminary field testing. The writer conducted a 51 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
