28 question asked about their comments on the teacher’ guide and the last question asked about their suggestions to make the materials get better. There were some important points of the feedback and suggestions from the evaluators. First, the designed materials were nice and well-organized. The illustrations were quite helpful for the students to understand it. The materials were also easy to apply in the classroom.

Second point was about the teacher guide. The comments on the teacher guide were found to be satisfying. The teacher’s guide was well-made and it helped the teacher to understand and elaborated the materials for the students. The teacher’s guide was also quite clear enough and easy to follow because it provided teachers on what they should do in the class. The last point was about the suggestion to improve the designed materials. Inserting vocabulary used in agriculture area in the conversation or dialog activity was needed to enrich student s’ vocabulary that was related to their area. One evaluator suggested changing topic 2 about introduction to be in topic 1 because students should know each other first by introducing one another then they can learn how to greet people that they have recognized. The matching activity in unit 4 would be better if giving them English meaning rather than Indonesian meaning. It was to avoid students speak in their native language.
