B. The Final Version of the Designed Materials

After designing the materials, the researcher distributed a questionnaire to some people as the designed material evaluators. They were the English teacher of Pangudi Luhur Elementary School, an English Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma lecturer, and an English teacher of SMPN 1 Kalasan. The results of the questionnaire were used as the basic information for the researcher to revise the designed materials. The designed material questionnaire consisted of some questions asking about the participants’ comments, criticism, and suggestions about the designed materials. The results of the questionnaire would be explained clearly as follows. The first part was multiple choices which allowed the designed material evaluators to choose their opinions about the designed materials. The evaluators had to choose one of four choices about the agreement statements of the designed materials. In the following table, the researcher presented the result of the questionnaire by using number. The number here represented one certain meaning; one represented strongly agree, two represented agree, three represented disagree, and four represented strongly disagree.
