F. Research Procedure
The research activities were divided into three major parts. They were pre- design activities, design activities, and post-design activities. Those three parts
were in accordance with the five steps in R D cycle.
1. Pre-Design Activities
First of all, the writer constructed the first questionnaire and a guideline for the interview. Then, the writer conducted the pre-design activities that were
designed to collect the data about the students’ needs and interest in learning English, by distributing the questionnaire to the third semester students and the
seventh semester students of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. These activities were in accordance with the first step
in R D cycle research and information collecting. Besides, the writer also interviewed the Chair Person of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program to
enrich the data around the students needs. The information from both questionnaire and interview was analyzed and then was used to develop the
English Instructional Materials that suit to the needs and interests of the students.
2. Design Activities
Based on the data found from the questionnaire and the interview, the writer designed English Instructional Materials for the students of the Mechanical
Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. This activity was in accordance with the second and the third step of R D cycle, planning and
developing preliminary form of product. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

3. Post-Design Activities
After the writer finished designing the English Instructional Materials, the writer conducted the post-design activities to evaluate the English Instructional
Materials. The post-design activities were conducted by distributing the second questionnaire to one lecturer of the English Language Education Study Program
of Sanata Dharma University, one lecturer of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University, and one English Instructor in a private
English Course in order to seek for evaluations, criticisms, feedback, and comments on the designed materials. Then, the writer revised and improved the
English Instructional Materials. The data from the second questionnaire were analyzed and used to improve the designed materials. Finally, the writer presented
the final version of the English Instructional Materials for the Mechanical Engineering students of Sanata Dharma University.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter consists of two parts. The first part is the steps of designing English instructional materials for Mechanical Engineering Students of Sanata
Dharma University. This part answers the first question in the problem formulation. The second part is the presentation of the designed instructional
materials for Mechanical Engineering Students of Sanata Dharma University. It answers the second question in the problem formulation.
A. The Steps of Designing Instructional Materials for Mechanical
Engineering Students of Sanata Dharma University
Based on the data found from the questionnaire and the interview in the post-design activities, the writer designed English Instructional Materials for the
students of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. This activity was in accordance with the second step of R D cycle,
design. In designing the instructional materials for Mechanical Engineering Students of Sanata Dharma University, the writer applied three instructional
design steps. The steps were analyze, design, and evaluate. Each of the steps will
be discussed as follows.
1. Analyze
In this step, the writer analyzed the learner characteristics, needs, lacks, and wants by conducting pre-design activities. The pre-design activities were
