b. The Results of the Open-Response Questionnaire
In this section, the respondents were able to answer the questions of the questionnaire freely. There were three questions in this section. Those three questions
were about the weaknesses, the suggestions, and also the opinions on the designed materials. Therefore, the writer found four important points to consider related to the
designed materials. They were: 1
The instructions in the designed materials should be simpler and clearer enough so that the students were able to understand them.
2 There was no numbering in every section of each unit.
3 Some texts were too difficult for the tenth grade students to understand,
especially the texts in the two last units. 4
It would be better if the task in the vocabulary section was matching the English words to the Indonesian words instead of matching the English words to its
synonyms. 5
The designed materials should have offered more comprehension strategies in order to help the students understand the texts which seemed difficult for most of
the tenth grade students.
