Significance of Study INTRODUCTION

The second type of study is concerned with the use of test performance to estimate current performance on some criterion. With the procedure both measure test and criterion are obtained at approximately the same time, type of study is called a concurrent study. 28 b. Reliability The second characteristic of a good test is reliability. Reliability is the consistency or dependability of the result assessment. 29 It is implies how consistent result test from one measurement to another. Therefore, to be considered reliable, a language test must obtain consistent result and give consistent information. So reliability needed to measure of difficulties of item test, because the consistent will given good result information about test which is want to measure on the difficulties items test. c. Predictability The third characteristic of a good test is predictability means the test should be such as can give a forecast of the possibilities of the future achievement of the students. Symbolic focus head, heart, and hand. 30 The purpose of predictability is used to predict some possibilities of the future achievement of students to be realization and relevant. d. Objectivity The fourth characteristic of a good test is objectivity. Objectivity refers to the extent the opinion or judgment of the scorer is eliminated from the scoring process. Objectivity is high in most of the standardized tests achievement, aptitude, creativity and intelligence. The test items are objective type fill in the 28 Norman E. Gronlund and C. Keith Waugh, op. cit., p. 50 30 Rani, op.cit.,p. 307 blanks, multiple choice, and true false. 31 The objectivity concerned to wide, opinion about scorer.

B. Material, Syllabus and Curriculum

Focus on the use of language use the possibility teachers to realize the underlying principles of teaching. They found the materials not suitable with either the objective or instructional unit. In this situation, teachers have to develop their instructional material or the objectives of teaching Before discussing about material on language use we should know is a material. According Yohanes Mujiono said on his paper “The material is instructional when it informs the learners about the language. It is experiential when it provides exposure to language in use, eliminative when it stimulates language use, and exploratory when it seeks discoveries about language use”. 32 Its means material is an instructional when the information on it can be subject matter in teaching.According to Yohanes Mujiono on his paper Tomlison summarized there are at least sixteen principles would agree to be basic principles of SLA relevant to the materials development for teaching languages. 1. Materials should achieve impact. 2. Materials should help learners to feel at ease. 3. Materials should help learners to develop confidence. 4. What is being taught should be perceived by learners as relevant and useful? 5. Materials should require and facilitate learner self-investment. 6. Learners must be ready to acquire the points being taught. 7. Materials should expose the learners to language in authentic use. 8. The learners’ attention should be drawn to linguistic features of the input. 9. Materials should provide the learners with opportunities to use the target language to achieve communicative purposes. 31 Ibid.,p. 306 32 Yohanes Mujiono, I paper “Tips Developi g Materials for the 2006 Curriculu , Jakarta: Unika ATMAJAYA, p.1
