4 What have you learnt today?. The designed materials also provided activities which support the students
to work individually, in pairs, or in group. The writer expected that the designed materials could motivate the students to learn English especially listening skill.
B. Recommendations
This part presents some recommendations for the English teachers of SMPN 2 Yogyakarta and for other researchers who are interested in a research at
the same field.
1. For the English teachers of
SMPN 2 Yogyakarta
The English teachers are suggested implement the English listening materials using task-based language teaching for the seventh grade students of the
first semester of SMPN2 Yogyakarta as the listening materials. The materials aim to give motivation for the students to be more interested in learning English
especially listening skill. In addition, the teachers are suggested applying other strategies that suit the students’ characteristics.

2. For the other researchers
The other researchers are suggested be more creative in designing the materials by adding more various activities to improve their listening skill ability.
The other researchers are also suggested develop and modify the materials using other strategies that are more suitable with the students’ needs and characteristics.
Other methods are to be considered to develop English materials. Since this study is limited to the English listening materials for the seventh grade students of the
first semester of SMPN2 Yogyakarta, the writer suggested the other researchers conduct a research in other settings and different participants in different level.
