D. Instruments and Data Gathering Technique

There were three instruments which were used by the researcher to obtain the data needed to design the materials for the English extracurricular. The instruments used in this research would be explained clearly in this part.

1. Questionnaires

There were two questionnaires used in this research. The explanation about those questionnaires would be divided into two parts. a. Students’ Questionnaire Needs Survey The first questionnaire was made for the fifth grade students. The questionnaire was made in Bahasa Indonesia so that the students could answer the questionnaire easily. The questionnaire was an opened and closed-ended questionnaire. For the first part, all of the questions were made to know the students’ opinions about the English extracurricular activities. The four questions given to them in the first part were more or less about their feeling 27 toward the English extracurricular or whether the English extracurricular really helped them to master the English materials given to them. The second part was designed to know what kind of activities that the students like the most. The students were given opportunity to list their favorite activities or materials as the main way to deliver the knowledge. The students were also being asked whether they like to have various activities per week or not. b. Design Material Evaluation Questionnaire The second questionnaire used in this research was the questionnaire distributed to the experts who had been asked for help to evaluate the design. The questionnaire was made to know whether the designed materials were still needed to be revised or not. The questionnaire belonged to opened and closes-ended questions. The questionnaire gave the participants the opportunities to state their opinions about the designed materials the participants were asked to give their opinions about the weaknesses, strength, and the general comments about the designed materials.

2. Class Observation
