B. Suggestions 1. To English Teachers

The product of this research is a set of learning materials intended to supplement the English national textbooks developed by Ministry of Education and Culture. As supplementary learning materials, the product of this research should be able to help teachers in order to make their students learn English better. The use of the product will enable teachers to determine what kinds of materials that students really need. By knowing students ’ interests and needs, teachers will learn how to provide materials which are not depending on English national textbooks. Teachers will choose to adopt and adapt others textbooks or texts for classroom use. Ultimately, if teachers are active in adopting and adapting particular texts e.g. authentics materials, they will have capability to develop their own supplementary materials which are appropriate for their students.

2. To Other Materials Developers

For other material developers, there are several things that need to be considered in developing learning materials. The first one is the content of materials. The content of the materials should be based on the results of need analysis. The results of need analysis is also combined with the current curriulum in particular level of formal educations. The materials should reflect students current level of thinking and encourage them to learn English. The second one is the presentation of the materials. The materials should be presented in systematic 82 way. It means that the difficulty of each task is gradually increasing. Being systematic means that students have less difficulties in order to complete the tasks presented in each unit. The third one is the language use. There are two types of language use, namely: instructional language and language of the content. The instructional language of the materials should be easy to understand, while the language of the content should at least equal to students’ proficiency or higher than students’ proficiency in some cases. The last one is the lay out of the materials. How well lay out used in the materials may affect students interest. If the lay out of the materials are well-designed, students will be interested in learning the materials. Thus, students are able to grasp the materials better.
