of preliminary field testing. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
1. The Participants of Research and Information Collecting
28 students of VIII G and a young English club teacher took place as the participants because the researcher wanted to collect the students’ characteristics,
the difficulties in speaking in English, and the factors that will affect the students’ learning process. In this case, the researcher conducted a small observation by

the participants of preliminary field testing were explained in chapter IV.
D. Research Instruments
In doing the research, the researcher used two instruments to gather the data. They are interview and questionnaire.
1. Interview
Interview is a data-collection method in which an interviewer asks questions of an interviewee Johnson and Christensen, 2012. By having an interview, the

towards the designed materials. The researcher used close and open-ended questionnaire.
The questionnaires are divided into two parts. The first part consist of 10 statements and the researcher used the Likert scale for each statement. There were
five points of agreement, strongly disagree, disagree, disagree nor agree, agree, and strongly agree. Example of the statements are: 1. The

interview and questionnaire to get the feedback and suggestions of the designed materials from the experts. The questionnaire was given out because the researcher
would like to identify the students’ needs, the characteristics of the class, and the
factors that will affect the students’ learning process. Furthermore, the researcher also conducted an interview to two English club teachers for the grade eight
students to get more information that will help the researcher in designing the materials.
After gathering the data from the questionnaire and interview, the researcher continued to design the speaking materials by using jazz chants. Then, the
researcher distributed another questionnaire to one English teacher of SMP Pangudi Luhur 1 Yogyakarta and to four lecturers of English Education Study Program of
Sanata Dharma University to evaluate the designed materials see appendix A, B, and C.

experts. This type of data gathered by using questionnaire and calculated by using a formula as follows.
� = ��
� Where:
X
= the average
��
= The sum of the score N
= the number of subject PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
In analyzing the respondent s’ opinion towards the designed materials, the
researcher used Likert scale. According to Best 1977, Likert scale technique assigns a scale value to each of the five responses. Therefore, the researcher
provided five points to show the respondents ’ agreement and disagreement. The
points are shown in Table 3.2.

Meaning
1 Strongly Disagree
2 Disagree
3 Neither Agree or Disagree
4 Agree
5 Strongly Agree
The researcher used descriptive statistics to calculate the data of this questionnaire. By using this way, the researcher were able to find the mean of each

following table:

3.00 – 3.99
Need a small revision 4.00
– 5.00 Need a very small revision
By getting the average point, then the researcher revised the designed based on the
data. The researcher also got the comments and feedback for the improvement of the design.
