B. Suggestions

The writer would like to give some suggestions to the English teachers of SDN UNGARAN II Yogyakarta and for other researchers. The suggestions are as follows. 1. For the English teachers of SDN UNGARAN II Yogyakarta It is suggested that the designed set of materials are really implemented to know the strengths and weaknesses. In applying the materials, the writer suggests the 76 teacher should encourage the students to be proactive and have creativity in all activities. It is really important for the teacher to find various ways of teaching since the students have their own talents and interests in understanding the knowledge, which is being learnt. The teachers should give many opportunities for the students to develop their understanding. Through these activities, the students will have freedom in expressing their ideas, opinions, feelings and thought. 2. For other researchers Even though the designed materials have been finished, this study cannot measure the effectiveness of the designed materials. The study only deals with the material development. In order to know the effectiveness of the designed materials, the writer suggests that other researchers implement this designed set of materials and make some necessary improvements. 77 REFERENCES Anderson, J.
