A. Conclusions

In this study, the writer tried to answer two questions stated in the problem formulation. The first research question is how a set of English speaking instructional materials for Culture and Tourism Department in Sleman is designed. The second is what the design of English instructional materials will look like. The writer conducted survey research to solve those two problems. The writer combined the instructional design model suggested by Kemp and Yalden. The writer used such a modification and combination because it is considered simpler and applicable for staffs of Culture and Tourism Department in Sleman. The steps in designing and developing materials are described as follows: conducting need survey, stating goals, topics and general purpose, selecting the syllabus type, listing the subject contents, selecting teachinglearning activities, evaluation, and revising. This designed materials needed revision and improvement which were based on the evaluation.

The materials consisted of eight units so there were eight topics included in the materials. Those eight units are designed based on Communicative Language Teaching Approach.
