that the English lesson for the Registration and Information Hospital staff can undergo improvement.
F. Definition of Terms
This section presents some key words in the study. In order to avoid the different perceptions to these key words, here, some related terms are discussed.
1. Speaking Ability
If there is only one person is talking we cannot consider it as a communication because communication needs an interaction between the
speakers. Paulstan 1976 in her book defines speaking as a competent to communicate in the target language. In this study, the term speaking ability or
oral communication refers to an activity involving two or more people, as the participants are both hearers and speakers having to react to what they are and
make their contributions at high speed Johnson and Morrow, 1983 as cited in Paulstan, 1976: 70.
2. Instructional Materials
The materials can be in the form of printed materials, computer- assisted instruction and televised instruction Dick and Reiser, 1989: 3.
Textbooks, journals, and newspaper are the examples of printed materials and can be used as the materials for instructions. In this study, the term
instructional mat erials refer to “the materials that is planned and designed by
the teacher for instructions.”
3. Instructional Materials Design
Dick and Reiser 62-67 stated that the instructional materials design is done in order to set the content of instruction. According to Klerk 7
Instructional program design involves designing instructional materials and selecting methods and media. Instructional program design is based on the
learning goal and objectives. As the consequence, designing the instructional materials is also based on the instructional goal and objectives.
According to Tom Hutchinson and Alan Waters in their book English for Specific Purposes 106, materials design is one of the most characteristic
features of English for Special Purposes in practice. Designing materials for instructions is not the same as choosing and using existing textbooks or other
materials, instead, it is the same as creating new materials that fit the learning objectives and specific subject area of particular learner.
In this study, the term instructional materials design refers to a part of an instructional program design, which is the beginning part of the
instructional process.
