C. Research Subjects
The population of this research were 136 tenth graders of automotive engineering study programme. However, because of the limitation of the time,
there were only 80 students and an English teacher participated in data collection in this research.
D. Data Collection Techniques and Instrument
There are two kinds of data in this research: data related to student s’ needs
and data related to materials’ evaluation after the materials developed. The instruments used to collect data related to students
’ needs were questionnaires and interview guidelines. The instrument used to collect data related to materials’
evaluation was a questionnaire. The first questionnaire,
which was used to collect the data for students’ needs, focused on the target needs and learning needs of English materials the
students wanted. The detailed questions can be seen in Table 3.1.

Some documents such as the curriculum and syllabus were used as the reference in creating the course grid before the materials developed.
The second questionnaire, which was used to collect the data related to materials’ evaluation, focused on the quality of the English materials that have
been developed from the aspects of content, language, presentation, and layout design. The details of the second questionnaire can be seen in Table 3.3.
