c. Revising parts of the handbook
The writer also revised some parts of learning materials and activities in the handbook. The following are the revisions of the handbook:
1 Revising the instructions on some activities in the handbook.
Since there were some complicated and unclear instructions in the activities, the writer revised them into simple and clear instructions.
2 Re-recording the spoken texts
Some of the recordings of the spoken texts were not clear enough. For that reason, the spoken texts were re-recorded and added by oral instructions for each
spoken text.
3 Removing and changing some materials sources and activities
There were materials sources which were not appropriate with the syllabus. Some sources were removed since they were irrelevant with the basic
competence. Some others were modified to make them more appropriate. Some learning activities were also revised along with the materials sources. The
complete learning activities after preliminary materials’ revision can be seen on the table in the next page.

students to the topic. 6
Revising unit 2 There was a suggestion to revise the topic on unit 2 since the topic was too
general for the intended students. Therefore, the writer changed the topic on unit 2 “My Memory” with more related topic for the student that was “Popular Logos”.
Along with the topic, the writer revised the materials as well as the activities on unit 2.
