A. The Design of Materials for Extracurricular
English Club in SMP Negeri 1 Muntilan
This part is to answer the first problem ‘What does the designed set of materials for extracurricular English Club in SMP Negeri 1 Muntilan look like?’.
This design consisted of five elements which are taken from Kemp’s models. The elements of designing the materials, namely: learners’ characteristics; competence
standard, topics, and basic competences; the learning objectives and subject content; the teaching learning activities; and materials evaluation and revision.
Those elements can be seen as follow:
1. Learners’ Characteristics
The researcher conducted the learner characteristic in order to gather the data from the participants. The learner characteristics were done to know the
students’ needs so that it was called pre-design survey. The researcher distributed the questionnaire to the students of extracurricular English Club in order to get the
data needed. There were 20 students who joined this course. The class was the mixture from other classes but all of them were bilingual class where the teaching

From the data of the questionnaire distributed to the students, eighteen students 90 joined extracurricular English Club because they loved English.
Two students 10 joined this because they were motivated by their friends and also the suggestion of the parent. All of the students 100 had got English
lesson when they were in the Elementary school. Twelve students 60 had ever joined English course outside the school. And the rest eight students 40 had
never joined English course before. Thirteen students 65 said that they felt difficult in learning English if they did not know the meaning of the words. Ten

students 50 said that they are less confident when speaking. Six students 30 said that their obstacle in learning English when they did not want to
practice. It could be seen that most students had learnt English when they were in
the Elementary School. It can be seen in the table that 90 of the students joined extracurricular English Club because they liked to learn English. Only 60 of
students who joined English course before, so the level of knowledge of the students was different. Then, the researcher should give the materials in the level
of less difficulty. If the researcher gives the materials based on the students who are expert in English, others students will be difficult to follow the learning
activity. Other characteristic of the students was they were lazy to practice their English. In this case, teacher should be a good motivator so that students were
interested in learning English. Students said that their obstacle of learning English were they did not know the meaning of the vocabularies and they less confident to
speak English. They were afraid if they made mistake. People can not learn without make any mistake. This case that would be the problem should be solved
by the researcher. Knowing the students characteristics, the researcher get the students’ needs.
From the discussion above, it can be concluded in the simple way that the students’ characteristics as follow:
1. They like English so they are motivated to join this course.
2. They start to learn English when they are in the elementary School.
