textbook that actually designed for Senior High School, it was not specially designed for vocational high school. However, the students of nursing department
need the kind of English lesson that related to their needs and interests in nursing field.
Related to this problem, the researcher developed English learning materials for nursing department since that was urgent to be conducted regarding
the unavailability of English materials for nursing department. The English materials established the students need. This research was expected to provide
English learning materials that could help students to use English for their future work. Therefore, the researcher focused on developing learning materials for the
second semester of the tenth graders of nursing department in SMK Kesehatan Rahani Husada in the form of learning materials based on the School-Based
Curriculum. The contents of the materials followed the Task-Based Language
Teaching. The materials in this research were arranged according to the nursing term by providing appropriate tasks and vocabulary related to nursing field. The
process of material development used the model proposed by Jolly and Bolitho as cited in Tomlinson 1998: 98 with some changes to match the steps of
developing the materials.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter explains about the research method. It presents type of the research; population and sample of the research; setting of the research; data
collection technique and instrument; data analysis technique; and procedure of the research.
A. Type of the research
This research is categorized as Research and Development R D. As stated by Borg and Gall 2003: 569 that the findings of the R D research are
used to design new products and procedures or develop the product that already made. It is systematically field-tested,evaluated, and refined until they are in the
best condition or ready to be published. However, this research were only until the expert judgment step, not to be tried out and published.
B. Setting and the Subjects of the Research
The research was conducted in SMK Kesehatan Rahani Husada which located in Pilangsari, Gondang, Kebonarum, Klaten, Central Java. The reason why
