95 these LKS, each one of them fulfills this criterion well. Based on the finding, the
researcher gives each chapter 1 point due to the perfect achievement. The comparison between the topics‟ letter size and the ordinary explanation
letter size is as seen in the following picture. Each topic in every chapter is given a special treatment. Special treatment here means that each of them is given a frame.
The following picture is taken from LKS Formatif 2. It is the picture of the first chapter of the second LKS. This LKS Formatif 2 is used by XI grade of vocational
high school students.
Figure 4.51 The front size of the topic
Another point is that these three English LKS show a great consistency in way of writing down the topic in the same font type and also same letter size. Each topic is
written with bigger size and in the bold mode.
2. Using short sentence
According to the research finding, all three LKS Formatif failed in fulfilling this point. The result finding shows that all of these three English LKS have not
fulfilled this criterion. The researcher found that these three LKS had a tendency to
96 provide a very long sentence both in the explanation part and also in the instructional
sentences. According to the criterion, one sentence should not consist of more than 10 words. 10 words in one sentence would become the maximum amount of the words
that formed a sentence. The researcher could not find any chapter on each LKS Formatif which fulfilled this criterion. Based on the rule, the researcher gave each
chapter on each LKS 0 point. The following picture is a figure of an instructional sentence which consisted
of more than 10 words in one sentence. An instructional sentence is supposed to be simple and easy to understand. The instructional sentence in the picture consisted of
two instructions in one sentence. The picture is taken from page 5 of the LKS Formatif 1.
Figure 4.52 A very long instructional sentence
The instructional sentence above was an example of a quite long sentence. Another problem was that sentence also contained a grammatical error. The sentence
sounds like this “in pairs, complete the dialogue with your own and practice them with your partner in front of the classroom”. The words your own should be
corrected into on your own.
