4. Preliminary Field Testing
In this step, the researcher asked the feedback from the experts related to
the materials designed. The experts were the English teacher of SMK N 2 Depok, Sleman,
Yogyakarta and lecturer from English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. The preliminary field-testing was
conducted by analyzing the preliminary form or the draft of the book results which are distributed to the experts in order to detect the weaknesses in the
designed materials. The researcher also conducted a post-interview with both experts to make the feedback clearer. Table 4.7 showed the background of the
respondents.

researcher paid attention to it. The sample of the questions can be seen on appendix E page 68. In addition, the researchers also obtained the data in a form
40 of written feedback on each page design. Those feedbacks was very useful to
improve the final design of the English speaking materials.
5. Main Product Revision
After gathering the data through the field-testing step, the researcher revised the designed materials based on the evaluation and feedback results from
the experts. The revision was applied in order to produce a good design.
