The procedures of the research are described as follows: 1.
Needs analysis The purpose of the needs analysis is to gather the information of learners
’ needs and learning needs. The data were analyzed as the basis for
developing English learning materials for the Grade X students of Beauty Study Program.
2. Planning
In this stage, the syllabus was developed based o n the students’ needs
analysis questionnaire. There is also a consideration about the core competence and basic competences which underlie the English teaching at
Vocational High School. The syllabus consists of core competence and basic competence, topics, unit titles, indicators, input texts, language focus
that cover vocabulary and grammar, and learning procedureactivities. 3.
Developing the materials The developed materials were based on the syllabus. There were three
units. Each unit consists of 25 tasks. Each unit is divided into two sections; spoken listening and speaking and written reading and writing. Each
section follows the scientific method, which are; observing, questioning, experimentingcollecting
datainformation, associatinganalyzing
datainformation, communicating, and creating.
4. Materials Evaluation
The materials were evaluated by an expert to assess the appropriateness of the materials. The process of assessment uses expert judgment
questionnaire. The questionnaire is adapted from the criteria of materials development proposed by BNSP 2011. The experts are also provided with
some open-ended questions to write their opinions or suggestions. 5.
Revising The results of the expert judgment questionnaire were analyzed and then
used as the basis to rewrite the final draft of the materials. The revisions are based on some categories such as the content, the language, the
presentation, and the layout. After being revised, the materials are considered as appropriate English learning materials for the Grade X
