CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY

In order to solve the problems formulated in chapter one, the process for conducting this study will be clarified. Six main points are included in chapter three namely: A. Research Method, B. Research Respondent, C. Research Setting, D. Research Instrument, E. Data Gathering, F. Procedures, and G. Data Analysis.

A. Research Method

This research attempted to solve two major problems. Firstly it was conducted to find out the accountability of English speaking instructional materials for tourist guides at Agrowisata Turi. Secondly, it was aimed to present the designed materials for tourists guides at Agrowisata Turi. In order to achieve the two major goals mentioned above, this research used the strategy of educational research and development, sometimes called research based development. Borg and Gall 1983:772 stated that educational research and development R D is a process used to develop and validate educational products. This process consists of ten steps but the writer only used five steps. These steps of this process are usually referred to as the R D cycle, as follows: 1. Research and information collecting-Includes review of literature, classroom observations, and preparation of report of state of the art. 2. Planning-Includes defining skills, stating objectives determining course sequence, and small scale feasibility testing.
