a. The Steps and Considerations in Developing Listening Media based on

the Questionnaire In this part, the researcher identified the students’ steps and the factors they considered before developing listening media. Making listening material could not be separated from the instructional design. The instructional design was important in order to make teaching material more settled and well-prepared. Preservice teachers were expected to be able to make learning media without forgetting the essence of teaching. The statements were below. Table 4.1 Steps in Designing Listening Material No Statements SD D U A SA 1 I made a simple lesson plan before making listening media - 31 2 59 8 2 I’ve decided what class is going to be taught - 14 4 69 12 3 I chose the type of the stories before making listening media - - - 71 29 4 I set the indicators of the listening material - 2 - 63 35 5 I set the objectives of the listening material - 12 2 76 10 SD: Strongly Disagree; D: Disagree; U: Undecided; A: Agree; SA: Strongly Agree Table 4.1 presented the steps that the students took in designing listening material. The statement number one investigated whether students made lesson plan. From the data above, we knew that there were four students 8 strongly agreed and 29 students 59 agreed with the research statement. Only one 33 33 student 2 stated that he was undecided. However, there were 15 students 31 disagreed that they made a simple lesson plans before making the listening media. Yet, none of the students 0 strongly disagreed. It showed that most of the students more than 60 agreed that they made lesson plans before making the listening media. The research statement number two was about student’s decision in what class or grade they were going to teach. There were six students 12 strongly agreed and 34 students 69 agreed with the statement. There were two students 4 stated that they were undecided and seven students 14 disagreed with the research statement. Similar to the previous statement, none of the students 0 strongly disagreed with the statement . From the students’ choices, the researcher concluded that most of the students more than 80 decided the class first before making the listening media. The third research statement was about the type of the stories the respondent chose before making listening media. There were 14 students 29 strongly agreed, and 35 students 71 agreed to the research statement. Yet, there were no disagreed, strongly disagreed, and undecided. The researcher could conclude that all students 100 agreed that they chose the type of the stories before making the listening media. The fourth research statement was about the indicators that students made before making listening media. There were 17 students 35 strongly agreed, and 31 students 63 agreed with the statement. Then only one student 2 34 34 disagreed. None of them 0 strongly disagreed with the research statement. The data also showed 0 on the undecided column. From the students’ choices, the researcher concluded that 98 of the total students made indicators before making the listening media. For the last research statement on this topic discussed the objectives that the students made before making the listening media. There were five students 10 strongly agreed and 37 students 76 agreed with the research statement. Meanwhile only one student 2 stated that he was undecided, and six students 12 disagreed with the research statement. Yet, none of them strongly disagreed with the research statement. Since the data showed that 86 of the students agreed to the research statement, hence the researcher concluded that they set the objectives before developing the listening media. The factors that influenced the listening skill also should be considered before developing listening media. This was important since the listening media was going to affect students’ understanding towards the listening material. In the factors that influence listening skill discussed the students’ ability to comprehend their understanding about listening itself. If the students comprehended the factors, it meant that they were able to design listening media. If the students knew what the factors were, they could make some considerations in making their listening media and the results would be good. The statements which contained this topic discussion were the statements number 6 until 10. The following table showed the data obtained. 35 35 Table 4.2 The Factors that Influence Listening Skill No Statements SD D U A SA 6 I considered the personal style of the listener in making listening media - 12 - 82 6 7 I made an opening session to make students focus on the listening media - 10 2 73 15 8 I considered culture of the listener in making listening media 2 29 2 59 8 9 I used correct pronunciation in making listening media - - - 78 22 10 I used picture as a stimulus in making listening media - - - 69 31 SD: Strongly Disagree; D: Disagree; U: Undecided; A: Agree; SA: Strongly Agree In the first research statement on Table 4.2, the researcher investigated students whether they considered the personal style of the listeners. The results of the first research statement showed that three students 6 strongly agreed to the research statement and 40 students 82 agreed to the research statement. Meanwhile six students 12 disagreed to the research statement. However, none of them strongly disagreed with the research statement and there was no undecided. From the data, it indicated that students tended to have positive opinion on considering the listeners ’ personal style. It could be concluded that the students considered the personal style of the listener in designing the listening media. Then, for the second research statement was used to investigate students whether they made an opening session on the listening media or not. The data 36 36 showed that seven students 15 strongly agreed to the research statement and 36 students 73 stated that they agreed. Meanwhile, one student 2 stated that he was undecided and five students 10 disagreed to the statement number seven. It showed that most of the students 88 agreed that they made an opening session on the listening media. Statement number eight dealt with the culture of the listeners. The third research statement showed that four students 8 strongly agreed and 29 students 59 agreed to the research statement. One student 2 was undecided and one student 2 strongly disagreed to the research statement. Meanwhile 14 students 29 disagreed to the research statement. Therefore, the total students who agreed with the statement number eight was 67. Statement number nine dealt with pronunciation of the students. There were 11 students 22 who strongly agreed and 38 students 78 agreed with the statement. It was interesting that there were no students disagreed and strongly disagreed. Therefore, the total students who agreed with the statement number nine was 100. It showed that all students had positive opinion about the importance of pronunciation in making the listening media. The tenth research statement was about the use of pictures as a stimulus in listening. For the last statement of the first topic, it showed that 15 students 31 strongly agreed and 34 students 69 agreed to the tenth research statement. Similar to the previous research statement, there were no undecided, disagreed and also strongly disagreed. Therefore, the total students who agreed with the 37 37 statement number five was 100. It showed that all students used picture as the stimulus in the listening media.
