preliminary field testing 5 final product revision. The reason for only taking five steps is due to the time limitation of this study.
1. Research and Information Collecting
This step included library study, interview, observation, and questionnaire. The interview was conducted on March 26
th
, 2015. The observation which was in form of MI Inventory Amstrong, 1994 and the questionnaire was conducted on
March 26, 2015. According to Borg and Gall 1983, “In this step, the researcher collected the data which are the learners’ needs, lack, interest and learning style”
p. 776. The importance of this step was to gather more information and data from the respondent of the survey, so that the design of the material will really fix
the learners’ needs. In this step, the data was collected by distributing the questionnaire and
MI inventory by Amstrong 1994, and also an interview. The data are mainly about the importance of speaking skill, students’ opinion, and students’ MI.
Moreover, the information and opinion from other English tutors for English Mastery Program are needed to help the writer in developing the material.
2. Planning
This step included defining skills, stating the general purpose, goals and listing topics, specifying the learning objectives, determining course sequence
following the purpose of English Mastery Program. The writer used the data obtained from the previous step to determine the appropriate materials based on
35 the students’ intelligences. In this step, the research also employed the Kemp’s
instructional design model.
3. Development of Preliminary Form of Product
This step included all of the preparations of the instructional materials, handouts, and the activities which were developed based on MI. In conducting
this research, this step should be done very carefully to meet the learners’ needs as well as to follow the principles of MI. Therefore, the English speaking
instructional material designed can facilitate the students and can help the students to improve their speaking skill. In this step, the writer employed the Kemp’s
instructional design step namely selecting teaching learning activities and instructional resources.
4. Preliminary Field Testing
In this step, the writer tried to get as much as evaluation, comments, criticism of the designed materials. The proposed materials were evaluated by a
lecturer of Atmajaya University who becomes the trainer of English tutors for English Mastery Program, and also some tutors of English Mastery. The feedback
was gathered using questionnaire with 10 close-ended questions and five open- ended questions, the feedback given was used as the guideline to revise and
improve the materials in the next step.
5. Final Product Revision
After collecting the feedback of the evaluation, suggestion from the evaluation step, the writer revised the designed materials based on the suggestions
given. From the feedback obtained, the writer improved and developed the
36 designed materials into a more appropriate and applicable module for Level 1 of
English Mastery Program of Titian Foundation, Bayat, Klaten. The following figure presents the collaboration of the RD model and Kemp’s model as used by
