How is a set of integrated English instructional materials based on a Cooperative Learning approach for the sixth grade students of SD Kanisius
Kanutan designed?
2. What does the designed set of integrated English instructional materials based
on a Cooperative Learning approach for the sixth grade students of SD Kanisius Kanutan look like?
C. Problem Limitation
In order to make the study specific, there are some limitations in this study. First, the study was about developing materials. The main concern of the study
was not to implement or evaluate materials, but it focused on developing materials that facilitated the teaching learning-processes. Second, the study employed
Cooperative Learning in designing the materials. Cooperative Learning gave opportunity to the students to maximize their learning process through groups
learning. Third, the study was designed for the sixth grade students of SD Kanisius Kanutan. The reason for choosing the sixth grade students was that they
needed English materials which were also appropriate with their characteristics. Fourth, the study was conducted in SD Kanisius Kanutan. It was chosen as the
setting of the study because the students there needed more opportunities and facilities to learn English.
