1. Interview Guideline
Interview guideline was used in pre-design survey research. The interview functioned as the enrichment instrument. The Chair Person of the Mechanical
Engineering Study Program was interviewed in order to obtain more information about the students’ needs in learning English and also to clarify the purpose of
establishing English subject in the Study Program. The interview guideline is presented in Appendix D.
2. Questionnaires
There were two questionnaires used in the study. The first questionnaire was used in pre-design activities as the instruments to collect data around the
needs and interests of the Mechanical Engineering students in learning English. It PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

was distributed to the third semester and the seventh semester students of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. The
sample of the third semester students were the students in Material class group A. Meanwhile, the sample of the seventh semester students were the students in
Tenaga Surya class group A. The questionnaire in this first part of research was
written in Indonesian. The purpose was to make the students understand the meaning of the questions well so that they could answer the questions

questionnaire was distributed to one lecturer of the English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University, one lecturer of the Mechanical
Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University, and one English Instructor in a private English Course. It aimed to obtain rich evaluations,
criticisms, feedback, and comments on the designed materials. The questionnaire used in the post-design activities is presented in Appendix E.
