planning, the contents and the teaching and learning activities were selected. Then, those activities were developed as the preliminary form of the product.
Since these designed materials focused on teaching integrated reading and writing, Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition CIRC was used. The
writer made the preliminary form of a set of integrated English instructional materials based on the CIRC theory.
4. Preliminary Field Testing
After developing the designed materials, the next step was conducting preliminary field testing. The purpose is to obtain an initial qualitative evaluation
of the designed materials as explained by Borg and Gall 1983: 782. In this step, the writer employed Kemp’s evaluation step. However, in this
study, the writer did not test the designed materials in the field for the students of SMA Negeri 4
Yogyakarta. The writer only did Kemp’s evaluation which then was called evaluation survey.
To conduct the evaluation survey, the writer distributed questionnaires to two English teachers of SMA Negeri 4 Yogyakarta and an English lecturer of
English Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. They were asked to give their opinions whether they approved of the designed materials or not.
They could give comments and suggestions also.
5. Main Product Revision
The next step after conducting the evaluation was the main product revision. The purpose was to determine whether the designed materials meet their
objectives Borg and Gall, 1983: 783. The writer revised the preliminary form of the product based on the respondents’ feedback and input, and data from the
questionnaires. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
