Discussion on the Results of the Survey

Based on the participants’ suggestions, the writer made some revisions and improvements in order to get better materials. Most of the suggestion were accepted and used for the improvement. However, there were also few suggestions that were not used. All of the acceptance and refusal were made using some consideration. The results of the revisions were: 1. Revising the lesson plans, rearranging the time allotment, and stating more detailed indicators for each unit. 2. Varying the numbers of group members into three, four, or five students at the maximum. The more members in a group, the less effective the process run. 3. Giving enough pictures in each pages of the unit. Too many pictures in a page would distract students’ focus on the speaking practice. 4. Providing some words related to the situations in the role-play. However, the writer would not provide expressions in the role-play since the expressions had already been provided in the Think of It part and it was the time for the students to practice what they had learnt. 5. Checking the words to be used in the materials. However, some of the difficult words would not be omitted. By keeping those words, the students could enrich their vocabulary mastery. 6. Revising the syllabus
