Students’ Interview The Interview Result

Figure 6 shows that each unit of the developed materials has four parts: introduction, main lesson, reinforcement, and fun part. The introduction is a warm up activity which introduces the topic of the unit. It aims to activate students’ schema which is related to the topic and to prepare them for the main lesson. The main lesson consists of several tasks which are designed to guide the students in achieving the targeted competencies stated in Curriculum 2013. The main lesson is divided into two cycles; written cycle and spoken cycle. Each of them consists of several tasks which are divided into four stages of scientific approach. The four stages are observing, questioning, collecting, analising, and communicating, and creating. In the observing stage, students read or listen to a text and are given an opportunity to observe things they want to know such as content, structure, language feature, and grammar. Then, according to items they want to know, they create some questions and provide temporary answers in the questioning stage. The stages of collecting, analising, and communicating are combined into one in order guide the students to collect information and identify it to answer the questions that they have formulated before, and then communicate the answers in spoken and written ways. The last stage is creating in which students are asked to produce a particular text through semi-guided task up to free-guided task. The reinforcement part includes homework, summary, and reflection. Homework is aimed to give a chance to the students to practice more outside the classroom on what they have learned of the whole unit. The summary part i s aimed to recall students’ memory of what they have learned in the unit. The reflection part is aimed to measure s tudents’ achievement by recognising their own success and lack in learning the materials in the unit. The last part of the unit i s fun part or “let’s have fun”. This part consists of idioms, crosswords puzzle, and word search puzzle which are related to the materials. The purpose of this part i s to refresh students’ mind after accomplishing the whole tasks in the unit by doing something fun.
