Figure 4.4 Information Boards
33 Figure 4.3 shows the picture of the second board that contains all of the
information about E text type, F purpose, G generic structure, and H examples of the text. The first information board E consists of the text types
needed for junior high school learning material. They arenarrative, recount, descriptive, report, and procedure text. All of those texts were taken from Silabus
Mata Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris Kurikulum 2013 untuk Tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama.
The second information board F consists of the purposes of the text. The purpose of narrative text is to amuseentertain the readers and to tell a story.
Recount text retells something that happened in the past and to tell a series of past event. Descriptive text is used to describe a particular person, place or thing in
detail. The purpose of report texts is to presents information about something, as it is. Procedure texts help readers do or make something.
Third information board G discusses the general classification. The contents of the narrative column are orientation, complication, resolution, and
reorientation optional. For recount text there are orientation, events, and reorientation. The next is descriptive text which contains identification and
description. The report text general classification column consists of general classification and description. The last column is about the general classification
of procedure text. It consists of goalaim, materialsequipments, and stepsmethod.
34 The fourth information board H consists of examples
of the text. “Snow White” for narrative text, “My Adolescence” text for recount text, “Monas
National Monument” for descriptive text, “The Pelican Report” for report text, and “How to Make Sandwich” text for procedure text. For the detail please check
the appendix E page 66 The reason why the Text Types Board consists of four columns is based
on the basic information that junior high school students need. At least, for learning a text in English learners need to know four important things which are
the type of the text, the purpose, the generic structure and the example.
Figure 4.5 The Picture of the Text Types Board
35 Figure 4.4 shows the final form of Text Types Board after all of the parts
are combined. The Text Types Board size is 30 cm x 18 cm with the color combination like figure 4.1 pages 29 to use this tool student should shift the
information board to find the same color. For example, when the students need information about procedure text of which the colu
mn’s color is yellow, they just need to match the color by shifting the purpose, generic structure, and example of
the text column on the information board.
b. The Problems that Learners Encounter in Using Instructional Media
In the process of the testing of the prototype the researcher found some problems experienced by learners. There were five problems such as basic
material for the learning media, learning media size, content especially the examples, learning media neatness, and multiply the learning media.
The problems came up when the researcher asked the learners to give a feedback about the learning media. One of the suggestions was to change the
basic material with the stronger ones. The learners understand that this learning media is important so they suggested choosing the durable basic material.
Learning media size became the next problem that students focused on. The prototype that the researcher brought to the school was too small. The
learners suggested making it bigger so all of the learners in the classroom could see it.
They also asked the researcher to give other examples. The learners were very excited when they knew about Text Types Board. Thus, they want this
learning media could be revised into better one. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

c. Problem Solving of the Media Utilization Problems
From the result of step number one and two, the researcher revised the designed material based on the feedback, comments, and suggestions given by the
learners. This part helped the researcher understand about how the final Text Types Board would look like. Paying attention into the theory from Wilson and
Horch 2002 about developmental characteristics of young adolescents such as physical, intellectual, social, and emotional. In addition, the researcher also
considered the suggestions from all of the learners like basic material for the learning media, learning media size, content especially the examples, learning
media neatness, and amount the learning media.
6. Conducting the Formative Evaluation
The next step is conducting the formative evaluation. The researcher distributed the questionnaires to three participants; two of them are the lecturers of
the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University and the other is an English teacher. The evaluation was conducted to obtain the
feedback on the learning media. The result of the evaluation was used as the input for improving the designed learning media. The description of the evaluators is
presented on the next page. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

In order to obtain the participants’ feedback on the designed learning media, there were two kinds of questionnaires which were distributed to the
participants. The first questionnaire was close-ended questionnaires and the second was open-ended questionnaires.
a. The Result of the Close-Ended Questionnaires
This part consisted of several statements with some points of agreement that represented the participants’ opinions on the designed learning media. 1
Indicated that the degree of agreement was very poor, 2 indicated poor, 3 undecided, 4 good, and 5 the degree of agreement was very good. The results
of the close-ended questionnaires are presented on the next page. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

to help the students learn text types in English. However, there were some aspects that needed to be revised to make it better.
b. The Result of the Open-Ended Questionnaires
In this part the respondents were free to give suggestions, comments, and opinions on the learning media. The questions in open-ended questionnaire are

as follows. 1.
The idea was good. 2.
The board was interesting with the colorful form. 3.
The board was meaningful. 4.
