c. Teaching Hortatory Exposition in Senior High School

In this study, the researcher focused on teaching hortatory exposition texts in senior high school especially for the eleventh grade social science students of SMA N 1 Depok in the second semester. In order to teach hortatory exposition texts, the definition, the characteristics, and the generic structure of a hortatory exposition text must be known first. Based on Astuti’s 2010, p.180 book “English Zone”, she states that a hortatory exposition text is a text which represents the attempt of the writer to have the addressee do something or act in certain ways. The tense which is used in a hortatory exposition text is present tense Hardy Klarwein, 1990, p.68. The generic structure of a hortatory exposition text according to Astuti 2010, p.180 is as follows:  Thesis In thesis, it introduces a topic, main idea or point of view to be presented. In other words, it is called as a thesis statement.  Arguments This part provides the evidences related to the thesis statements. Each paragraph will only discuss a particular point. The elaboration may be further description, examples, etc.  Recommendation This part provides a recommendation for the readers. 31 The researcher chose hortatory exposition texts as the other text which was used in designing a set of English speaking materials because the characteristic of a hortatory exposition text itself includes the expressing of giving opinions about something Sudarwati Grace, 2006, p.79. Besides, the learners also will choose between “should or shouldn’t” about certain topics. As such, the researcher thinks that this type of text will have many materials or topics for speaking activities.

B. Theoretical Framework

In this research, the researcher combined Kemp’s 1977 and Dick and Carey’s 2009 design model to answer the first research problem. The researcher combined those models because they complete each other. After combining Kemp’s 1977 and Dick and Carey’s 2009 models, finally the researcher’s design model is in the following:

1. Identifying the goals

In this step, the researcher determined the goal of this study which was to design a set of English speaking materials. Both Kemp’ 1977 and Dick and Carey’s 2009 models have the same first step in designing a set of materials which is identifying the goal. Moreover, according to Dick and Carey 2009, this step is to determine what the researcher wants the learners to be able to do when they have completed the instruction. The answer is that the learners hopefully to be able to speak fluently because the focus of the materials which was designed was speaking.
