integrated materials for an extracurricular activity of the fifth grade students of Kanisius Kalasan Elementary School. These two problems are discussed into
seven sections, namely methods, research participants, research instruments, data gathering techniques, data analysis techniques, and research procedures.

The writer did not use all steps in R D cycle. The writer only used research and information collecting, planning, developing preliminary form of
product, preliminary field testing, and final product revision. The writer only used those steps because of the time limitation. This writer only designed the materials
not implemented the materials.
1. Research and Information Collecting
In this stage, the writer aimed to gain the information by using three ways; review of related literature, interview questionnaire. The first was review of

2. Planning
In this planning stage, the writer conducted the goals, topics and general purposes Kemp, 1977, formulated the learning objectives to be achieved
Kemp,1977, developed the syllabus Yalden,1987, specified the subject content Kemp, 1977,
and the educational philosophy. The content of the designed materials would be integrated materials of four basic skills; speaking, listening,
reading and writing. The writer would make materials as interesting as possible for the format of the design. It would be used to encourage students to learn and
