not met the students’ needs and interests for the course books still offer the General English.
The lack of appropriate course books, especially, is a problem which the teachers see as an obstacle in the process of conducting the instructional process.
As long as the appropriate English course book is still not present, teachers will need to develop their own learning materials from the scratch. The process of
developing new learning materials takes too much time and focus of the teachers. With the existence of appropriate course books, conducting the
teaching and learning process in the class will become much easier and effective. Teachers will have fundamental learning materials and only need to add some
additional supplementary materials matching their students’ characteristics.
C. Limitation of the Problems
This research is limited to one problem which is considered important. The problem is the inappropriate English Course book in SMKN 1 Sedayu. The
English learning materials will be intended for grade XI students of Welding Engineering Department of SMKN 1 Sedayu. The grade was chosen after
discussing it with the teacher in SMKN 1 Sedayu. Therefore, this research focuses on developing scientific approach based learning materials for the
English Course Book and are developed based on Curriculum 2013 as the current curriculum used by all national schools in Indonesia.
D. Formulation of the Problem
Based on the background, the identification, and the limitation of the problems, the researcher formulates the problem as follows:

’s needs of grade XI students of Welding Engineering Department in SMKN 1 Sedayu in learning English?
2. What are the learning needs of grade XI students of Welding
Engineering Department in SMKN 1 Sedayu in learning English? 3.
What are the appropriate English learning materials for grade XI students of Welding Engineering Department in SMKN 1 Sedayu
according to scientific approach theory in Curriculum 2013?
E. Objectives of the research
