share, and so on. These learning activities facilitate the students in practicing listening to their group members’ ideas and information. After listening to their group
members’ ideas and information, each student can practice speaking to utter his or her own information and to give responses to other group members actively using the
target language. The implementation of those learning activities can appropriately motivate students in achieving the ability to use English in conversation, to access
knowledge, and to overcome their problems in learning listening and speaking skills. It is because they enable the students to get involved in the learning process by
providing the students with interesting classroom activities. There were other researchers who designed English materials based on
Collaborative Learning or Cooperative Learning. The designed materials were mostly intended for specific purposes such as for teaching speaking to street children
Wulandari, 2005, for tourist Andong drivers Astuti, 2005, and for the extracurricular activities in the second year students of senior high school Rumjati,
2006. The writer will also apply Collaborative Learning approach as the basis to design a set of integrated listening and speaking materials for the eleventh grade
students of senior high school.
B. Problem Formulation
Based on the discussion in the research background above, the problems of this research can be formulated on the following page.
1. How is a set of integrated listening and speaking materials based on
Collaborative Learning for the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Depok
designed? 2.
What do the integrated listening and speaking materials based on Collaborative Learning for the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1
Depok look like?
C. Problem Limitation
Referring to the problems formulation, the writer limits the discussion to the designing integrated listening and speaking materials based on Collaborative
Learning approach for senior high school students. To limit the problem, the writer will focus only on designing a one - semester - set of integrated listening and
speaking materials based on Collaborative Learning for the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Depok. More specifically, the designed materials are intended for the
Science class at SMA Negeri 1 Depok.
D. Research Objectives
In this part, the writer elaborates the research objectives of this study. The research objectives of this study are specified as follows:
1. To design a set of integrated listening and speaking materials based on
Collaborative Learning for the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Depok.
2. To present the designed set of integrated listening and speaking materials
based on Collaborative Learning for the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Depok.
E. Research Benefits
Hopefully, the result of this study can bring about benefits for many people. The research benefits are specified as follows:
1. For students The writer expects that the designed materials will bring about benefits for the
students especially in establishing their ability in interpersonal skill by conducting Collaborative Learning in listening and speaking activities. In
addition, the writer expects that the designed materials will help the students improve their listening and speaking abilities through learning activities
which enable them to get involved in each activity so that they can obtain enjoyment as well.
2. For English teachers This paper is aimed to provide the teachers with some classroom listening and
speaking activities which apply the principles of Collaborative Learning to reinforce their students to work together in groups in listening and speaking
class. The writer also expects that the designed materials will assist the teachers to build students’ ability to speak using the target language and to
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.
