4 One skill cannot be separated from the other skills. They complete each other.
One skill will reinforce the other Brown, 2001. Thus, this research was aimed to design a set of integrated materials for
the eleventh grade students of Administration Department of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten based on theory of MI. MI based materials would provide various
activities based on students’ needs. It would also help students learn English well through attractive activities and which are suitable with their learning styles. It is
expected that the instructional materials presented in this research would be suitable for the students’ needs.
B. Research Problem
There are two questions in this research which will be discussed. The questions are:
1. How is a set of English integrated materials for the eleventh grade students of Administration Department of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten based on theory of
Multiple Intelligences designed? 2. What does the designed set of English integrated materials for the eleventh
grade students of Administration Department of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten based on theory of Multiple Intelligences look like?
C. Problem Limitation
The research is limited to the designing a set of English instructional for the students of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten, Administration Department Grade XI based

5 on Gardner’s theory of MI. The materials designed will be integrated skills
materials, in which this kind of materials can provide varieties of learning styles for each student who has different ability in absorbing the materials from the other
students and which can also maximize the development of students’ intelligences.
D. Research Objectives
The research is conducted in order to: 1. Find out how a set of English integrated materials for the eleventh grade
students of Administration Department of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten based on theory of Multiple Intelligences is designed.
2. Present the designed set of materials.
E. Research Benefits
This research aims to provide English integrated materials for students of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten, Administration Department Grade XI. This research is
expected to give benefits as follow: 1. For the students of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten
The students of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten, particularly Administration Department Grade XI, will be provided with well-developed English

6 2. For the English teachers of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten
The English teachers of SMK Negeri 1 Klaten will be provided with well- developed instructional materials, which can be used in the instructional
process in the school later on. They also can use the materials for a reference to develop other materials and activities for other subjects and other grades in
school. 3. For further studies
The result of this research can be used for another study about developing English materials based on MI theory. The further study will be needed in
order to evaluate and improve the designed materials.
