Analysis of the Data

speaking productions that were not well-represented in the materials. Such as, after what is it, diagram, after serious of dialogues, there is
no follow up activity. I Ie 6; page 266
Furthermore, the following interview part indicated that although some units might not have good integration of English four skills, the integration can
be improved when the designed materials are implemented in the classroom. However, the second evaluator concluded that overal units have integrated
English four skills. Yeah, yeah, indeed. Absolutely. Because I can see, I think, not all
units have the four skills, but later on, in the class, maybe like through conversation and discussion with the students, you can also
build their confidence to speak, for example and also to listen to your explanation, yeah. Although maybe there is no listening in certain
units, maybe, ya. But in the class, the listening can be from the teacher. J Ie 6; page 267
The third evaluator showed her agreement on the good integration of English skills by giving details on the skills implemented in units. It can be seen
from the following interview part. I think, the integration of listening, speaking, reading, and writing
are quite balanced because the meeting and this meeting will focus on reading, the next reading will focus on listening, and etc. And
then, in some parts, I found that first of all, you provide the listening passage, after that the students have to write something to make the
summary so that’s good for the students. And then in reading part, yeah, thats’s good also. K Ie 4; page 269
Moreover, the forth evaluator stated that the skills are well implemented without giving any other suggestions. It can be seen from the following interview
part. I have no complaint on it. Things are just awesome. The four strands
are well implemented. L Ie 4; page 270 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

As the conclusion of the discussion above, the English skills are already well integrated. Additionally, there should be paid more attention on the speaking
activities as one of the evaluators noticed that there should be more speaking activities in particular units.
d Theme 4: The language level is already appropriate, but need to be
adjusted.
As the level of the students is A1 CEFR, the language in the designed materials should meet their language level. All of the evaluators agreed that the
language is already appropriate, although in some parts, the language need to be adjusted. The following interview part shows the first evaluator’s assessment
toward the language level. Language type is now more simplified and more adjusted, well-
adjusted to students ability. And what is it, probably my suggestions are in the vocabulary building parts section, probably some
definitions of words are much more confusing than the word itself. I Ie 9; page 266
Regarding to the use of vocabulary items that were used to explain some difficult words, the evaluator prefered to use Indonesian terms. Besides, the
second evaluator agreed that the language is already appropriate with the students’ level. It can be seen from the following interview part.
But what I see in your new design, I can see that, yeah, you have already made the language appropriate for the students and also the
students can understand and then also related to the... I think, I gave you a comment on reading, reading or listening? The text.. J Ie 7;

Furthermore, the third evaluator seemed to have the same opinion with the first evaluator. It was about dealing with the vocabulary items that were used to
139
explain some other vocabulary items. From the following interview part, it can be seen that the evaluator suggested the students to check them in the dictionary.
OK. I think the grammar like appropriate for them, but in some texts, maybe the vocabulary will be hard for them. Because in your
design, you use some new vocabularies or new vocabularies that are rarely used by them. But that’s okay, because they can check from
the dictionary, right? K Ie 6; page 269
Moreover, the forth evaluator also showed his agreement that the language used in the designed materials already
met the students’ competence. Regarding to some vocabulary items that were seen as challenging for them, the evaluator
suggested that the researcher should explain more in classroom. It can be seen from the following interview part.
Most of the diction presented will fit with the learners’ competence. They could negotiate the meaning of a difficult concept in class. L

Regardless of getting some suggestions to simplify some vocabulary items, it can be concluded that the language of the designed materials is, overall,
already appropriate. Therefore, the students would later find it relatively easy to comprehend the contents of the materials through the suitable language level
utilized in the designed materials.
e Theme 5: The materials are already appropriate to be implemented, but
need to be revised.
Overall, all of the evaluators agreed that the designed materials are already appropriate to be implemented. However, some parts need to be revised based on
the suggestions they gave in the field notes later on. The following interview PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
140
parts contain the agreement of the first evaluator that the designed materials are already appropriate.
Oh, very very very appropriate. Level five. I Ie 10; page 266 Furthermore, the second evaluator also agreed that the designed materials
hold the appropriateness to be implemented. She mentioned the percentage of the appropriateness. The rest of the percentage left was for the recordings. It can be
seen from the following interview part. Yeah. It is already... It is ready to be implemented to the students. It
is ready to be implemented like 80. 20 is for the listening and the recording. J Ie 10
– Ie 11; page 268 The third evaluator showed her agreement toward the appropriateness of
the designed materials. She, also, acclaimed the detailed components in the designed materials, such as the design, layout, materials, etc. It can be seen from
the following interview part. I think your materials are already ready to implemented to your
students because the design, the layout, materials, and everything inside your design is very well prepared. K Ie 7; page 269
Lastly, the forth evaluator said that the designed materials have already been ready to be implemented. He suggested to pay attention to the comments
provided in his field notes. The following interview part shows his opinion. It’s ready to use and launch. Please consider some comments as my
field notes. I have to appreciate the way you create such a good layout. L Ie 6; page 270
By looking at the discussion above, it can be concluded that the designed materials are already appropriate to be implemented in the classroom.
Considering the comments and suggestions delivered by the evaluators, the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
141
designed materials would be revised, so that the students would use the better version of the designed materials.
