c. The Result of Open-Ended Evaluation

T he researcher also received evaluators‟ feedbacks in form of open-ended questions. The researcher asked about the design looked like, the weaknesses, the strengths, the given topic, and the needs to improve the design. These were the results of evaluators‟ feedbacks on the reading exercises design as seen in the narrative description below. 1 The Evaluators’ Feedback on How the Design looks like Through this research, the researcher found that the design was interesting for teen-age students and good as a whole since English is learnt using technology. It was also useful to improve students‟ interest in learning English. Probably, the design could prevent stu dents‟ boredom in learning English. The feedback were positive in this part. Thus, the design was quite good based on the result of evaluation. However, the researcher needed to improve and revise the design color of weblog so that the students will be more addicted in doing the exercises. 2 The Evaluators’ Feedback on the Weaknesses of the Design This research found that the design should be more eye-catching, because the design were to plain and less colorful for the layout. Additionally, some pictures in exercises could not work well. Again, there were some grammatical 51 mistakes in the instructional page. The design did not provide stu dents‟ comments although there were comments button in the weblog, but it did not work properly and it needed instruction about the purpose of the comments section. Furthermore, the design lack of variety exercises. The researcher found the weaknesses in the design, thus, the researcher had data to revise and improve the next design as final presentation. The reading exercises design were revised by changing the color in each exercises, assuring the Internet connection so that the program work well, revising grammatical mistakes in the instructional page, reading texts and exercises in each unit, creating students‟ reflection towards the given reading activities in each unit, and adding more varied exercises in each unit. 3 The Evaluators’ Feedback on the Strengths of the Design Based on this research, the researcher found that the design was a very easy self-accessed learning for the seventh grade students and had clear instructions. In addition, the design was easy to access, no login required, and it can be repeated. Besides that, students ‟ interests maybe heightened since learning English is done through the use of technology. The design also had strenghts toward the evaluator‟s feedbacks. The researcher improved the strengths so that next design would be much better than the previous design. 4 The Evaluators’ Feedback on the Given Topic Based on the evaluation result, the researcher found that the design did not have enough strengths to catch s tudents‟ attention. And then, the given topics
