Figure 2.3 Themes in Go Animate
Firstly, teacher can choose an appropriate theme to design a material. For examples, business friendly theme, cartoon classics, or comedy world. It can be
seen from figure above. When the theme has been chosen, teacher can start making video animation using their creativity.

The teacher can just click the character, and then it will appear options of actions, dialog, and enterexit. Go Animate enables individuals to develop the
animations and make the narrative itself, in which the characters speak with lip- sync and move around. In the dialog part, it consists of mic recording, upload file,
your library, and text-to-speech. In addition, to upload a picture, teacher has to select the Image tab. The maximum file size is 5Mb which only supported
formats with jpg, png and gif. When video animation is finished, teacher can further edit it, add narration and soundtrack, and then export the video to
computer in MP4 format.
6. Materials Development
In language teaching, materials usually connected with textbooks. When someone talks about the materials, directly heshe refers to both of them. It can be
said that the materials are not merely textbooks. Tomlinson 1998 mentions that materials are defined as anything which is used to help teaching language learners
and to increase the learners’ knowledege. He states that the materials can be in the form of a text, a textbook, a workbook, a CD-Rom, a video, a handout, a
newspaper, and so on. Graves 2000 has the same idea with him, that materials are textbooks, text, pictures, worksheets, and videos. It means that anything which
presents or informs about the language being learned is called material. In developing a material, a designer needs to plan what shehe has to do.
The planning process in developing a material is defined as materials development. According to Graves 2000, materials development is the planning
process by which a teacher creates a material to achieve the goals and objectives of the course. In the same vein, Tomlinson 1998 states that materials
development refers to anything which is created and organized by teachers, writers or learners to facilitate the learning of a language. It can be confirmed that
the materials development is the process of creating andor adapting materials for language learning.
Meanwhile, Graves 2000 mentions processes of the course development, involving defining the context, articulating beliefs, conceptualizing content,
formulating goals and objectives, assessing needs, organizing the course, developing materials, and designing an assessment plan. The framework of course
development processess can be seen in the following figure.
