E. The Significance of The Study
This research is expectantly hoped to give a valuable contribution to the following parties:
1. Researcher; by conducting this research, the researcher can develop and
enrich the knowledge about how to design materials for senior high school students especially for listening comprehension and the writer can apply
this product later on. 2.
Teachers; the result of the research, teacher can use this research as an example on how to design English teaching and learning material,
especially for listening comprehension and also can apply the final product to the students in teaching listening.
3. Students; through this research, students can improve their motivation and
mastery of listening comprehension by learning authentic materials. 4.
Other researchers; the result of the research can be add some data and a reference on how to design the English teaching and learning material,
especially for listening materials.
F. The Assumption of The Study
The assumption of this study is listening materials of narrative text designed are suitable with
the students’ need and syllabus. The materials can be used and applied for the tenth grade students of MAN Pematangsiantar and other
SeniorHigh Schools in North Sumatera.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions
After conducting this research, the writer found some conclusions follow: 1.
This research presents the English listening materials of narrative text which are suitable to the basic competencies and learning indicators in syllabus,
students’ needs and supports by the result of experts’ judgement. The materials designed are about legends namely, Lake Toba, Simalungun, and
The Hanging Stone which are shown in printed and audio version. The printed version involved the transcript of the text and the tasks of listening
comprehension, while in the printed version involved the recording of the text. The tasks of each material were constructed by considering the learning
indicator and students’ needs. The result is considered as good materials which has the general mean 4.16 and can be used by the teachers in senior
high school. 2.
The materials were designed by applying some phases of RD method. They are need analysis, gathering information, designing materials, validating
materials, revising materials and final product. The first phase is need analysis which is aimed
to find the students’ needs and interests towards the English listening materials. The second is gathering information from the syllabus and
book used by the school. In this phase, researcher lists the competencies of learning narrative text then writes the indicators. The third phase is designing
the materials based on the result of need analysis and information gathered. The fourth phase is validating the materials to two experts in order to produce
a better quality of materials designed. The fifth phase is revising the materials where the materials revision was conducted. The last phase is writing final
draft or final version of materials designed which the revised materials would be the final version which presented and ready to apply in senior high school
specifically for MAN Pematangsiantar.
B. Suggestions
1. Teachers
As the key of teaching-learning process, teachers are suggested to design their own materials which are s
uitable to the students’ needs and syllabus. It would be better not to always rely on the book provided. English teachers are
suggested to apply listening materials to the students in order to motivate the students to be interested in learning English, specifically listening.
2. Institutions The institutions have to consider the book chosen and recheck the book
whether match or not to the syllabus. The institutions are also suggested to facilitate the school to have language laboratory and supervise the teachers in
teaching by using their own materials. 3. Other Researchers
The researcher suggests the other researchers who are interested in this topic to conduct further studies on designing listening materials. They are also
expected to find the other characteristics of appropriate learning materials based on the students’ need especially in designing English listening materials.
