This chapter presents the results of the previous chapter. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part concerns with the conclusions of the study, the
second part concerns with the suggestions.
A. Conclusions
This study was aimed to design a set of supplementary English instructional materials using short stories to promote the students’ values of life for the sixth
grade of elementary school students. There were two problems stated in this study formulated in the form of questions as stated in problems formulation.
3. How is a set of supplementary English instructional materials using short

4. What does a set of supplementary English instructional materials using short
stories to promote the students’ values of life for the sixth grade of elementary school students look like?
In order to answer the first question on problem formulation, the writer conducted the pre-design and post-design survey. The steps of the two surveys are
