helping them to do the teaching and learning process in the class. The English reading materials are conducted in the form of supplementary book.
In developing the materials, several steps are done in this research; they are conducting need analysis, writing course grid, writing the first draft of
thematerials, getting experts’ judgment, and writing the final draft of the materials. Before writing the materials, firstly the researcher distributed the needs
analysis and examined the result of needs analysis. After conducting and analyzing needs analysis, the result should be applied in form of course grid. The
course grid will be a guide in developing the materials in form of supplementary book. The materials should be developed based on some principles of material
development in order to meet the characteristics good materials. The materials consist of several units. Units are constructed around a theme, objectives and a
number of tasks. There are some components of task: goal, input, procedure, teacher and learner roles, and setting. Tasks should be arranged graded and
sequenced in such a way that it can help the students to learn English easily and effectively. After the materials are developed, material evaluation should be done
in order to check the fitness of the goals with the objectives. Finally, the output of this research is a set of English reading materials for International Mathematics
Education Study Program of Yogyakarta State University.
