39 information about the coordinator’s opinion about the chance of material
development for Level 1 of English Mastery Program see Appendix D.
2. Questionnaire
Conducting a descriptive research, it means that the research has an opportunity to deal with the questionnaire. Labovits 197, p. 72 states, “A
questionnaire is an instrument comprised by a series of questions that are filled by the respondents.” The questionnaires are employed to obtain the opinions from the
participants on the materials designed. There are two types of questionnaire according to Brown and Rogers 2002, p. 120 namely: “open-response items”
and “selected-response item”. Through open-response items, the participants should give response using their own words in form of writing. While, through
selected-response items, the participants should give responses by selecting some answers provided or alternative answers see Appendix B.
3. Multiple Intelligences Inventory
In getting the data before designing the material, the writer applied MI inventory which is adopted from Amstrong 1994. This inventory was aimed to
find out the dominant intelligences that the students have. This inventor is consists of fifty-six statements that should be done by the students see Appendix C. Each
of the statement represents characteristics which are the clues that are used for deciding the students’ dominant intelligences.

E. Data Gathering and Research Procedures
Conducting the research, the writer used some technique in order to gather the data from the respondents. Besides, there are some procedures which sould be
done in order to conducting this research. Below are data gathering and research procedures used by the writer.
1. Data Gathering Technique
The data gathering technique in Research and Information Collecting was by conducting an interview and distributing questionnaire and MI inventory which
is adopted from Amstrong’s 1994. The interview was conducted by interviewing the coordinator of English Mastery Program. For the other instruments, which are
the questionnaire and MI inventory, were distributed to students Level 1 of English Mastery Program. The MI inventory was aimed to find and measure the
dominant intelligences of the students. The students were given some statements which describe various behaviors in the list see Appendix C. The descriptions of
the intelligences are represented through the statements of behavior in each number in the table below.
