30 materials for there are many different options available for the use.
c. Elements of an Animated Movie
According to Westfahl 1999, there are six defining elements of the true animated movie. They are:
1 An animated movie has a true plot 2 An animated movie has true characters
3 An animated movie has thought. It conveys a message or theme. Unlike a cartoon, the story of an animated movie is designed to communicate some
potentially important statement about the human or the sentient condition, rather than merely entertain viewers.
4 An animated movie has diction, or words, as a key element. In order to communicate a genuine plot, genuine characters, and a genuine theme, the
animated movie must communicate through words—narration, dialogue, or titles.
5 A vast majority of animated movies use songs. Music becomes and integral part of animated movie.
e. Criteria for Selecting Animated Movies
Taylor 2006 conveyed some factors that should be considered in choosing the movies for language classroom, for instance: the length of the video
extract, quality of sound and picture, language density, appropriateness, and relevance. Those factors are considered in deciding the type of movies that would
31 be used in language teaching.
B. Theoretical Framework
This stage discusses the steps that will be conducted in designing the materials. The study will be implementing the concept of Task-Based Language
Teaching TBLT. TBLT is chosen because it develops the students’ participation in learning English. This method also facilitates the students with careful and
systematic steps of achieving the objectives of the lesson. In completing the study, the researcher combines RD cycle with a
Kemp’s instructional design model. Kemp’s instructional design is chosen due to several reasons. First, Kemp’s model flexibility enables it to be applied to all
levels of
education. Second,
its continuous
flexible cycle
provides interdependence among the elements of the system.
The first step is Research and information collecting. This stage aims at gathering data about the students and factors that can influence the students’
learning process. In this stage, the researcher conducts the interview and distribute questionnaire. The interview is conducted to English teacher in order to get
information about the students’ characteristics, needs, problems, and preferences. The data will be derived from the English teachers’ experience. The
questionnaires are distributed to the eighth-grade students of SMP N 3 Sleman. The researcher considers the learners’ characteristics which include two major
characteristics as the basis for constructing the materials. The first major characteristics include some academic factors like students’ academic background,
