A. Conclusions

This study was conducted to answer a research problem: How is the set of English speaking materials using the role play technique for the tenth grade accounting students of SMK Negeri 1 Yogyakarta designed? In order to answer the research problem, the writer adopted Borg and Gall’s RD cycle and an instructional design model proposed by Kemp 1977. The writer only focused on designing and developing the materials instead of implementing the materials. In designing and developing the materials, there were six steps which were applied by the writer. In the step which was research information and collecting, the writer tried to collect much information related to the students’ need. The writer collected the data by conducting an interview and class observations and distributing questionnaires. The writer interviewed the teacher who taught English in the tenth grade accounting class. Furthermore, the writer distributed 32 questionnaires to the students who joined the class. An interview, questionnaires, and class observations became the instruments for the writer to find out the information about the students’ needs from 65 both the teachers and the students’ perception. After gaining much information, the writer set the planning by identifying the goals, selecting topics, and listing general purposes. Then, the writer specified learning objectives. Afterwards, developing the preliminary form of product was the next step. The writer tried to select teachinglearning activities and develop the materials based on the goals, topics, and the learning objectives which were formulated in the planning step. The next step was preliminary field test. In this step, the writer tried to gain some comments and suggestion about the designed materials to some lecturers of English Language Education Study Program in Sanata Dharma University and the teacher who taught the tenth grade accounting class. They were asked to fill out the questionnaire which was distributed by the writer. Their comments and suggestions were used as guideline to revise the designed materials to be better. The answers of the closed- ended questions in the questionnaires showed that the designed materials were good and acceptable. Finally, the main product revision consisted of four units. They were I’m Sorry, I Understand and Care, Would You Do Something For Me?, and Can I Help You? Each unit consisted of Warming-up Time, Dialogs Practice, Language in Use, and Role Play Time.
