67 revise the designed materials. From the result, it indicated that the designed
materials were appropriate to be applied in English Conversation class in SMP Taman Dewasa Jetis.
The second research question in the problem formulation was answered by the shown presentation of a set of English speaking materials using games itself.
The designed materials consisted of four units. They were Hello My name is Jenny.,
Where’s Jenny’s Apartment?, Who am I?, and What’s Your Favorite Place?
. In each unit, there were three major parts such as: Let’s Get Set, Let’s Get Ready, Let’s Go The final presentation of the designed materials can be
seen in Appendix H.
B. Recommendations
In this opportunity, the resarcher would like to give some recommendations to the teacher of English Conversation class and the future
researchers related to the research in this field. The recommendations can be seen as follows:
1. For the Teacher of English Conversation Class
The designed materials emphasized the improving of the speaking skill of the students. Thus, the teacher should be creative
enough to vary the learning activities, not merely based on the designed materials so that the students will not get bored in joining the class. The
teacher can also modify the games that fit to the real class situation by still looking at the objectives of the games itself.
68 2.
For the Future Researchers The researcher did not implement the materials to the classroom. It
is suggested that the future researchers implement the materials. It is aimed to know the
students’ perceptions after having been taught the designed materials. Thus, the future researchers will know whether the materials are
effective or not for the classroom.
