There were various opinions toward the designed materials. Overall the respondents stated the material is well elaborated, interesting, and appropriate for
fifth grade students. However one respondent did not sure if the material is suitable for language laboratory.
The writer gained some suggestions from the questionnaire. The respondents’ suggestions were important to improve the designed material by
making the final revision on the designed material. Respondents’ suggestions were mainly focused on the material. One respondent suggested considering the
use of audiovisual in language laboratory. The writer realized some activities do not involve the audiovisual. However, from the needs analysis result, the teacher
prefers to use the simple audio equipment in the language laboratory which is a microphone and speakers. The writer then provided some activities which require
teacher to use microphone, i.e. reading text. The next suggestion was shared by two respondents. They recommended
teaching one tense only for fifth graders. By teaching one tense, students are easier to focus on the pattern they are learning in order to avoid misunderstand the
grammar pattern. From this suggestion, the writer changed some grammar patterns into present tense and other simple patterns which are considered suitable
for fifth graders. Third suggestion was recommended by one respondent. The respondent
claimed to relate the material with standard competence for Elementary School even if it is used in language laboratory. Here, the writer made some
modifications by varying some activities which are based on the elementary PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

school English curriculum. However, from the interview with the language laboratory teacher, the writer was allowed to design the material by not merely
focused on the English curriculum for elementary school as long as the material is suitable for fifth graders.
Last suggestion was to minimize the pastel and firm colors because it might hurt eyes. The writer revised the layout of the material by reducing some
pastel and firm colors. However, the writer remained the colors which are suitable for making clarity on the activities.
