learn listening as well. Moreover, the designed materials can also be a model for the teachers.
3. For other material developers The writer expects that the result of this paper will bring about benefit for the
other material developers in developing their English materials, particularly using certain teaching-learning approach and method. In addition, the
writer expects that the other material developers can improve their approaches and methods in developing the materials.
F. Clarification of Terms
The writer uses some specific terms related to the study. In order to avoid misinterpretation, there are several terms to define as follows.
1. Integrated Material
In Oxford Advanced Learner’s
dictionary 1995: 620, integrated means to be united into a body or system, where each of the parts in relationship with other.
Materials are the content to be learned in learning process, written in textbooks or papers. In addition, Richard and Rodgers 1988: 64 state that integrated material is
material that focuses on the mastery of the integrated communicative skills rather than a mere mastery of the rules in the target language. According to the writer,
integrated materials are defined as a set of learning materials that comprises two language skills and incorporates the learning topics from each language skill
including the language elements to facilitate the students in acquiring their language skills. In this study, integrated listening and speaking materials are a set of materials
comprising both listening and speaking skills, which are incorporated into interdependence learning activities.
2. Listening Skill
According to Nunan 2003:24, listening is an active, purposeful process of making sense of what we hear. In addition, Widdowson 1978: 60 states listening is
the receptive counterpart of saying and depends on the visual as well as the aural medium. In this study, listening is a receptive skill which includes
an active process of receiving new ideas and information with the use of aural and visual media.
Listening is called an active process since the mind actively engages in making meaning. Therefore, the listeners do not only listen to the listening passages, but they
also interpret the content of those listening passages.
3. Speaking Skill
Speaking is the productive aural or oral skill. It consists of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning as cited by Nunan 2003:48.
Widdowson 1978:59 adds that speaking as an instance of use, therefore, is part of reciprocal exchange in which both reception and production play a part. In this study,
speaking is a language skill that incorporates both speech production and speech interpretation. The act of speaking involves not only the activities of producing
utterances or statements, but also the activities to listen to other speakers’ utterances.
