CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter consists of two parts. The first part is conclusions of the study. The second part is the suggestions for the Mechanical Engineering
students, for the English lecturers, and for the future researchers who are interested in conducting similar studies.
A. Conclusions
The purpose of this study was to design English instructional materials for the Mechanical Engineering Study Program of Sanata Dharma University. The
writer began the study by formulating two problems to be answered. The first problem was how the English instructional materials for the Mechanical
Engineering students of Sanata Dharma University were designed. The second question was what the designed English instructional materials for the Mechanical
Engineering students of Sanata Dharma University look like. To answer those two questions, the writer employed research and
development R D method. In this study, the writer employed only step one to step five. The first step, research and information collecting, was named into Pre-
Design Activities. The second step, planning, and the third step, developing preliminary form of product, were named into Design Activities. She combined
the rest of the steps into Post- Design Activities. However, in this research the writer modified the fourth step, preliminary field testing. The writer conducted a

survey to gather evaluation, criticism and feedback on the designed materials before going to step five, main product revision.
In order to answer the first question, the writer adapted Kemp’s model to develop the writer’s instructional design. The writer’s model consisted of three
steps. They were 1 analyze, 2 design, and 3 evaluate. The presentation of the designed materials for the Mechanical Engineering Students of Sanata Dharma
University answered the second question in the problem formulation. The designed English instructional materials contained eight units. Each unit was
allocated for one meeting, covering 2 x 50 minutes. They were presented as follows:
Unit 1 : How to Use a Machine
Unit 2 : How a Machine Works
Unit 3 : The Four-Stroke Cycle
Unit 4 : Rubber Plug Method of Tubeless Tire Repair
Unit 5 : Chart of a Compression Process
Unit 6 : Phoning a Garage
Unit 7 : Hybrid Car
Unit 8 : Applying for a Job
The designed materials generally contain seven activities. They are Let’s
Review, Browse Your Idea, New Stuffs, Sharpen Your Skill, Language Focus, Act Up, and Let’s Conclude. The complete designed materials are presented in

The data obtained from the questionnaire in the post-design activities were analyzed by using the statistical data computation method of central tendency.
After being analyzed, the results showed that the mean ranged from 3.7 up to 4.7. It means that the designed materials are appropriate for the Mechanical
Engineering Students of Sanata Dharma University to learn English.
