1. Data Analysis Technique of the Pre-design Research
The participants’ needs were gained from the observation and interview. The results of the observation and interview were presented in the form of
description analysis. The results of the participant observations were analyzed descriptively where the researcher drew conclusions from the checklist used.
The data analysis technique from interviewing the English teacher of SMP Negeri 1 Jogonalan Klaten was by using thematic analysis approach.
Thematic analysis approach was used to code the results of the interview. The results of the interview were coded to enable categorisation-themes to emerge.
2. Data Analysis Techniques of the Post-design Research
In this step, the researcher gained the data about the evaluation of the designed materials to obtain opinions on the strengths and weaknesses, and the
suggestions on the designed materials. The evaluations of the designed materials were obtained from a lecturer of the English Education Study Program of Sanata
Dharma University and two English teachers of SMP Negeri 1 Jogonalan Klaten. The data were collected through questionnaire. The researcher employed two
types of questionnaire, namely closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires. Open-ended questionnaires were aimed to obtain the descriptive data about the
participants’ statements. In this questionnaire, the researcher provided four points of agreement to see respondents’ agreement on the statements given. The use of
four points of agreement was based and modified from Likert’s scale. The researcher decided not to use the ‘undecided’ term from Likert’s to avoid
ambiguity and unclear meaning of the ‘undecided’ term itself. Those points of
42 agreement were described in Table 3.1.
Table 3.1 Points of Agreement of the Respondents’ Evaluation Points of Agreement

In concluding the data gathered, the researcher presented in the form of table in which the participants’ opinions, statements, and the mean of the points
included. The result of the analysis was described below.
