to activate students’ prior knowledge of the learning material. The second part is

Before presenting the final version, the designed material was evaluated by distributing questionnaire to two English teachers of SMA Santa Maria
Yogyakarta and two ELSEP lecturers of Sanata Dharma University. The results of
the questionnaire were analyzed using central tendency. The result shown the means ranged between 4-5. It indicated that the designed material were well-
designed and acceptable. The outcomes signified that the designed materials were ready to be applied in language major grade XI of SMA Santa Maria Yogyakarta.
However, there were some revisions conducted to make the designed materials better. The revisions were done based on the feedback and suggestions from field
testing respondents.
B. Suggestions
In this part, the writer would like to give the material users and the future researchers some suggestions related to the study in this field.
In order to use the material effectively, the users are suggested to read the teachers’ manual, task instruction and the sample of the lesson plan. In
implementing MI theory in the classroom, the teachers should be aware of students’ characters, needs and interests. The teachers are advised to recognize
students’ intelligences initially. Also, the teachers should recognize the way the
students learn differently. At first, it is difficult to raise students’ motivation but it is teachers’ job to encourage students to learn by providing various activities
based on their intelligences to learn English best as it develops students in intelligences as well.
At the end of each meeting, the students are given time to reflect their experiences during learning activities. As the feedback, the users are invited to
give comment and suggestions optimally to encourage students’ motivation. It is not suggested to give judgments which discourage students. Instead, the teachers
are recommended to give a lot of encouragement. Due to the time limitation, the designed materials have not been
implemented yet. For the future researchers, studies and the implementation of the designed material to better improvement in quality and effectiveness are
welcomed. The material can always be revised and improved to be more
applicable and appropriate.
