The Course Grid
The researcher developed a course grid as the framework in developing materials based on the curriculum and needs analysis. It consisted of basic
competence and standard competence, unit number and title, learning indicators, input text, and activities. There were three units that were developed. Each unit
had different topics related to aviation industry. The full course grid can be seen in the appendix.
a. Unit 1
The course grid for Unit 1 was taken from standard competence number 2 and basic competences number 2.1 and 2.6. The title of the unit was “Equipment
on the Job” and the grammar focus was simple present tense. The full course grid can be found in the appendix.
b. Unit 2
The course grid for Unit 2 was taken from standard competence number 2 and basic competence number 2.2. The title of the unit w
as “Co-Worker Relationship” and the grammar focus was the linguistic features of expressions of
asking for favors and the responses. The full course grid can be found in the appendix.
c. Unit 3
The course grid for Unit 3 was taken from standard competence number 2 and basic competence number 2.3. The title of the unit was “Professional
Experience” and the grammar focus was simple past tense. The full course grid can be found in the appendix.
3. The Unit Design
Based on the developed course grid, the materials then designed. There were three units which were developed. Each unit followed the same design; title page,
main lesson which were divided into oral and written cycle, and reflection. Below are the flowchart of the unit design and the description of the sections in a
unit.
Figure 3: Unit Design
The learning unit in the material was divided into two sections, those were:
a. Title Page:
Title page contained information on the topic of the unit and learning objectives.
b. Main Lesson:
This part was further divided into 4 parts; gear up, oral cycle, written cycle, and fun fact section. ‘Gear Up’ made up the warm up activities to build students’
knowledge and to activate their existing schemata. ‘Oral Cycle’ and ‘Written Cycle’ contained various tasks designed to enable students to achieve the
objectives of learning. The next part was ‘Fun Fact’, a column which contained a
fun fact related to the topic on the unit as a means of refreshment for students.
