achievements of all students, including those who are academically handicapped could be raised.
Based on the explanation above, the writer would like to design a set of supplementary instructional listening materials employing Content-Based
Instruction and Cooperative Learning for the eleventh grade students of SMA 9 Yogyakarta
to help them solve the problems in the real listening class and improve students’ listening skills. In addition, the writer proposes the use of MP3
as the medium of the listening materials to enable the students to have their own materials economically so that they can practice independently and maximize
their learning.
B. Problem Formulation
In this study, the writer formulates the following two questions: 1. How is a set of supplementary instructional listening materials incorporating
Content-Based Instruction and Cooperative Learning for the eleventh grade students of SMA 9 Yogyakarta designed?
2. What does the designed set of the materials look like?
C. Problem Limitation
In this study, the writer deals with listening as it is one of the four skills that still have to be improved and given special attention to in SMA 9 Yogyakarta,
especially in the English teaching for the eleventh grade students. Besides, the teaching of listening in SMA 9 Yogyakarta has not been properly organized,
particularly in relation to the fact that they lack proper listening materials available for the students. Considering this, the writer, therefore, intends to design
a set of supplementary instructional listening materials for the eleventh grade students of SMA 9 Yogyakarta.
In this study, the writer intends to develop listening materials which can meet their needs and can also help them overcome the problems they have in
listening teaching-learning activities. Since SMA 9 Yogyakarta is one of the public schools employing School-Based Curriculum as the basis of the implementation
of the listening teaching, the writer would like to develop a set of supplementary instructional listening materials which is still in line with School-Based
Curriculum. Moreover, the writer would employ the principles of some teaching approaches, that is, Content-Based Instruction and Cooperative Learning in order
to develop the suitable listening materials for the eleventh grade students of SMA 9 Yogyakarta
. Besides, the writer would like to employ MP3 as the medium of the listening materials, for it enables the students to have their own materials
economically. By having their own listening materials, it is expected that they will be able to practice independently to maximize their learning. Considering all the
explanation above, this study is, then, limited to designing a set of supplementary instructional listening materials for the eleventh grade students of SMA 9
Yogyakarta based on the principles of Content-Based Instruction and Cooperative
Learning, and using MP3 as the media of the listening materials. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
