This question is answered in part A to D; whereas the second research question is 2. What does the design look like? This question is answered in part E.

A. Research and Information Collecting

In this part, the researcher collected the information related to designing the materials. The researcher needed to know the classroom situation, such as the student s’ attitudes, teaching methods, students’ needs, interests, and characteristics. To get the information, the researcher interviewed only one of the English club teachers due to the lack of time.

1. The result of interview with the English club teacher

The researcher conducted the interview on Tuesday, 22 November 2016. This interview aimed to get information about the classroom situation, methods used i n the class, students’ motivation towards speaking skill, and how far the students know about jazz chants, and other information which are useful for the researcher in designing materials. Due to the time limitation, the researcher could PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI only interview one teacher because it was the last class of the semester. In the interview, the researcher got the information about how English class is carried out. The teacher said that in his class, the willingness to learn English is small due to the allotted time. The time allotted was 90 minutes and started after school. From the interview, the researcher found that the students loved to be given a movie to watch and listening exercises because it was more interesting to learn rather than grammar and English structure. Whereas speaking exercises were hard to be applied in the class due to the lack of the basic grammar and confidence. The English club class was carried out once a week. In every meeting, the teacher has four different skills every week. From this data, we can see that the students had a very small chance to practice speaking, even though the teacher sometimes spoke and encouraged the students to reply in English. Before the researcher interviewed the teacher, the researcher also tried to demonstrate a simple jazz chant by showing a video in the class. From the experience the researcher had, the students were curious. After one trial of the jazz chant, the researcher repeated the jazz chant one more time since the students were curious about the chant. The researcher saw some students trying to sing or chant along through watching the video. After showing the jazz chant, the teacher said that it was his first time to see and hear about jazz chants. The teacher also saw some of the students were curious and motivated and even tried to sing or chant along. According to the teacher, jazz chants are very good and suitable method in English teaching especially speaking because it is very helpful in motivating the students to speak English more see Appendix C.
