Descriptive statistics is used as a mean to present and describe the data of the second questionnaire. A Likert scale is used in the questionnaire because it is generally appropriate for obtaining respondents’ views, judgements, or opinions about any aspects of language learning Brown and Dodgers, 2002 : 120. The assessment on the second questionnaire uses the ordinal scale in the form of five points of agreement: SD if the respondents strongly disagree with the statement, D if the respondents disagree with the statement, U if the respondents uncertain or doubt with the statement, A if the respondents agree with the statement, SA if the respondents strongly agree with the statement. The researcher analyzed the data using a central tendency. The descriptive statistics is used to find a central tendency the mean and the variability measure standard deviation of the students’, Hotel advisor, and graduated English students of the State University of Yogyakarta responses to the questionnaire. The mean is the sum of all the values in a distribution divided by the number of values Brown and Dodgers, 2002: 128. The standard deviation shows how spread out a group of score is. A small standard deviation indicates that scores were closed together and a large standard deviation indicates that the scores were more spread out Gay, 1987: 349. G. Research Procedure 1 Conducting the needs analysis Conducting the needs analysis was the first step done by the researcher. It is aimed at obtaining the information about the students’ needs and interests. The information is about students’ profiles, materials that they used to have, and their opinions about the materials. The data obtained was then used as the basis of the next stage of the research. 2 Writing the course grid After conducting the needs analysis, the researcher wrote the course grid based on the results of the needs. This step is used as the guideline in developing the speaking materials. 3 Developing the material The course grid is used as the guideline to develop the speaking materials. The researcher consulted with his supervisor in order to get much feedback. The researcher developed the speaking materials that consisted of four units; those are 1 Good Morning, 2 Let me Introduce, 3 Oh….my Schedule, 4 Go Straight. The materials are developed into several tasks. 4 Conducting the first implementation
