6. Evaluation
Since this research deals with constructing materials, evaluation is an important step. The term ‘evaluation’ does not mean as the evaluation after the
implementation. Since the designed materials have not been implemented yet, the evaluation was conducted by distributing some questionnaires to the lecturer and
English instructors. It was conducted to find out whether the materials were well developed or not. The results of the questionnaires were used as a feedback and
consideration to revise and improve the designed set of materials.
B. The Results of Survey Research
Two types of data were taken from the survey research. The first type was taken from the staffs in order to gain the learners’ needs and to find out the
suitable materials. The second type was taken from one English Language Education Study Program lecturer, three instructors from several English courses,
and one of staffs of Culture and Tourism Department in Sleman.
