Procedures of Developing Unit of Works
26 1
Principle 1: Scaffolding The first principle is scaffolding. The teachers should provide a supporting
framework for teaching learning. At the beginning of the study, the students should not be expected to produce language that has not been introduced before.
The teacher should manage the scaffolding so that the learning process will go smoothly.
2 Principle 2: Task dependency
The second principle is task dependency. The teacher should give tasks which develop and build up from the task have gone before so that the students
can learn step by step until they understood about the topic. 3
Principle 3: Recycling The third principle is recycling. The recycling means that the students are
given opportunities to learn the language in different situation and condition. 4
Principle 4: Active learning The forth principle is active learning. The students should be given wide
opportunity to actively using language they are learning. The teacher can ask the students to work in pairs or in group in order to practice using the language.
5 Principle 5: Integration
The fifth
principle is
integration. Here, the teacher should give deeper
understanding to the students about the topic. The teacher also should explain the relationships between linguistic form and language function in order to give clear
perception about the topic.

Principle 6 : Reproduction to creation In this principle, the students must be given opportunities to produce their
own sentences. The students can work in group and in pairs in order to practice creating conversations to express themselves. The students also can reproduce the
conversation from the textbook given by the teacher. 7
Principle 7 : Reflection The last principle is reflection. In the learning process, the students should
be given opportunities to reflect what they have learned, how well they are doing, and the difficulties they face in the learning process.
From the
discussion above,
the writer concludes that Task-Based
Language Teaching provides wide opportunities for the students to speak English. In designing the speaking materials teachers or designers should consider the
procedures of developing unit works and the principles of Task-based Language Teaching. The procedures of developing unit works help the designers in
developing the unit works in the materials.
