Research Setting Research Participants
40 From the interview, the researcher expected
the teacher’s view or opinion about the learning and teaching activity in the classroom experienced by the
teacher so far. The restrictive suggestion helped the researcher find out what technique will be appropriate for the students in the classroom.
2. Questionnaire
The second instrument used is questionnaire. Questionnaires are printed forms that ask the same questions of all individuals in the sample and for which
respondents record their answers in verbal form. Gall, Gall, and Borg, 2007, p. 228. This questionnaire provided two kinds of item, closed form multiple
choice and open form essay questions. There were two questionnaires distributed in this research. The first questionnaire was distributed to the students
of the conversation class in the beginning of the research, before designing the materials. It aims to find the problems faced by the students in the classroom.
The second questionnaire was for the validation from the expert users. It included the help of material design experts from different universities, courses
and schools and the English teacher of the conversation class. Those questionnaires were distributed after the designed materials had done. The
purpose was to get the best and the most suitable designed materials for the class. By using those instruments, the researcher could reflect and improve the
implementation of the technique offered, whether it works to the students or not.
