A. Conclusions

This study was conducted to answer the two research questions. The first question is how a set of integrated materials for the first grade students of SMK Kanisius 1 Pakem is designed. The second question is what a set of integrated materials for the first grade students of SMK Kanisius 1 Pakem looks like. Those are the main research questions which had been answered in this study. In answering the first research question, this study dealt with Research and Development RD as the research method. In the research method, the researcher had adapted Kemp’s instructional design model 2011. Actually, this study did not implement the whole phases which were stated by Kemp et al. Kemp instructional design model 2011 has 10 fundamental components. They are instructional problems; learner and context; task analysis; instructional objectives; content sequencing; instructional strategies, designing the message; development of the instruction; evaluation instruments; and ongoing processes. In 73 conducting this study, the researcher makes some modification from those 10 steps into four mains steps. Those four steps are analyzing the problems and needs 1 st step, designing the instruction 2 nd step, developing the instruction 3 rd step, and evaluating the instruction 4 th step. In designing and developing a set of integrated materials, this study applied Communicative Language Teaching CLT approach which is composed by Richards 2005. Communicative Language Teaching CLT is believed as the most appropriated approach for the first grade students of SMK Kanisius 1 Pakem. Communicative Language Teaching is also based on the students and teacher’s needs to have integrated materials which can enhance communicative competence. In order to answer the second research question, the researcher had designed and presented a set of integrated materials using Communicative Language Teaching. The final version of designed integrated materials becomes the result of this study. The researcher had attached this final version in the appendix. There are four units in the designed materials entitled Stepping Forward. Every single unit is started by warming up and ended by reflection. The warming up activity must be valuable for the students. Through warming up activity, the students are prepared to be ready with the topic. Then, the reflection is provided to find out the students’ understanding during the learning process. There are some questions which are presented in reflection activity to reflect what they have learned. Every single unit provides integrated materials such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Through the integrated materials, the goal of this 74 study can be achieved. The students meet their need to have materials which can enhance integrated skill and communicative competence.
