CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
A. Type of Research
This type of research is categorized as Research and Development RD since it focuses on developing English learning materials for eleventh grade
students of Pharmacy Study Programme. Gall, Gall, and Borg 2003: 569 stated that the results of the RD research are used to design new products and
procedures or develop the product that had already been made which later will be field-tested, evaluated, and refined until they are suitable for the standards or
ready to be published.
B. Research Setting
The research was done in SMK SMF “INDONESIA” Yogyakarta which
is located in Jalan Veteran, Gg. Jambu, Kebrokan, Pandeyan, Umbulharjo, Yogyakarta. It only has one study programme, Pharmacy Study Programme.
There are five classes for the third grade, and seven classes for each eleventh and tenth grade. The research was done in this school on August 2016.
C. Subjects of the Research
The subjects of this research are 36 students of grade XI-E of Pharmacy Study Programme at SMK
SMF “INDONESIA” Yogyakarta, the English teacher of eleventh graders, and a materials development expert from English
Education Study Programme of State University of Yogyakarta.
D. Research Procedure
The procedure used in this research simplifies the steps of course design proposed by Jolly and Bolitho Tomlinson, 1998: 98. The model used is
presented below:

The researcher adapted the model of materials development process above and modifies it into the steps below:
Figure 3: Research Procedures
1. Conducting needs analysis
A needs analysis was conducted to get important information in developing the learning materials, which are the students learning goals and
needs. It was conducted through giving questionnaires to the students of Pharmacy Study Program. The result of the questionnaire was analyzed and
was used to develop the course grid. 2.
Designing the course grid The information gathered from the needs analysis was used by the
researcher to design the course grid. The course grid was used as a reference and a guide to develop the English learning materials. The contents of the
course grid are: goals, indicators, input, language focus, activity, tasks, and vocabulary.
3. Developing the materials First draft of the materials
After designing the course grid, the researcher developed the first draft of the English learning materials. The materials consist of three units and they
were developed based on the course grid that the researcher designed in the previous step.
4. Expert judgement
The three units developed by the researcher were assessed by the expert to know whether or not the materials had met the requirements or standards in
many aspects, such as content, language, and design. The expert evaluated and gave opinions or suggestions on the first draft of the materials developed
by the researcher.
5. Writing the final draft of materials
After getting the feedback and evaluation from the materials development expert, the researcher revised the materials and made it into the final draft.
The final draft of the learning materials is ready to be used by the students.
