B. Review of Related Study
The related studies of designing a task based learning materials for senior high school students is done by Erythrina Cahyaningsih 2010. The study by
Erythrina Cahyaningsih is a research and development study which aimed to provide more integrated reading and writing materials for senior high school
students. The research observation was held in SMA BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta which focus on giving some activities that can grasp the students’ attention during
the learning process. The implementation of the study is adapted from Kemp’s and Yalden’s
instructional model and employed research and development method. The materials consist of eight units which provide an integrated reading and writing
skills using task based learning. The findings revealed that the designed materials are suitable and acceptable to be used in the senior high school. Based on the
research’s findings, task based language teaching can be applied in developing the materials to facilitate the students in improving their reading and writing skill.
In this research, the researcher focused on providing the supplementary writing materials which are
related to the students’ needs. The materials design development was inspired by the previous research which used task-based
language teaching to develop the materials. In the materials development, the researcher also used the technology for the writing task, therefore the
supplementary writing materials attracted the students’ interesting in learning
writing.
C. Conceptual Framework
Based on the theories above, the tenth grade of senior high school students need a supplementary materials beyond the textbooks, because it meets the
students’ needs. The tasks can develop the students’ language skills in a meaningful way because the materials and the tasks are based on the authentic
materials. Therefore, the researcher starts with the need analysis to provide an appropriate materials
with the students’ needs. Although the materials development is a supplementary materials, the
tasks should focus on the basic competences based on the Curriculum 2013 as a source in developing the materials. The focus of language skill in this
supplementary materials is writing skill, so it is important to provide some writing tasks that are suitable for the tenth grade students. The appropriate topic in each
unit is also important to make the students interested in learning writing skill. In order to develop a set of supplementary writing materials for the tenth
grade of senior high school students, the researcher considered the theories explained in the theoretical review to support process in developing materials of
this study. They are teaching for young students, teaching writing in senior high school, types of tasks based on task based language teaching, task grading and
sequences and the steps of task based language teaching. In designing the materials, the writer uses
Jolly and Bolitho’s materials development process with some combinations by Yalden and Hutchinson and Waters to arrange the
conceptual framework of this study. The conceptual framework of this study is presented in Figure 2.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
A. Model Development
This research study is categorized as Research and Development RD because the aim of this research study is to acquire a finished product that can be
used effectively in an educational program Borg, 1983:772. The definition of product does not only refer to the learning materials e.g textbooks, modules, etc
but also the learning procedure e.g method of organizing instruction. To make the product can be used effectively in English classroom, the product is specified
as writing learning materials which are categorized as additional materials. The research focuses on developing a supplementary English writing learning
materials using task-based language teaching for tenth grade students of senior
high school.
In developing an educational product using RD method, there are series of steps that must be taken in this approach which is called as Research and
Development cycle. The step of RD cycle which is proposed by Borg and Gall 1983:775 consists of research and information collecting, planning, developing a
preliminary form of the product, preliminary field testing, operational product revision, operational field testing, the final product revision, and dissemination
and implementation. Although there are many steps that have to be followed in
