based on School-based curriculum 2006. The eight steps used by the researcher to make the material design are as follows.
1. Conducting needs survey
The researcher takes the need based approach tries to check out what difficulties in which the students faced. Therefore, the researcher will be able to
find out what the students needs in his designed materials. This survey also expected to find some suggestion from the English teacher about what kind of
design should the researcher design.
2. Stating goal, topic, and purposes
The researcher states what the most appropriate goal is in his designed material based on need analysis survey he has conducted before. To achieve the
goal, the researcher will make some topics to be included in his design. The purposes of each topic also need to be clear so it will help the learner in learning
through the designed materials.
3. Stating learning objectives
The researcher specifies learning objectives very carefully. For each topic, the researcher gave clear and explicit objectives. The reason is to help the learners
to be able to understand about what they will learn. Also, the objectives should be able to be measured.
4. Listing subject content
The research specifies the specific knowledge and skills. The subject content has something to do with the learners’ need and the objectives of the
research.

5. Selecting teaching and learning activities
This step can only be done after all the data of need analysis were obtained. Topic and objectives also must be already done. Then, the researcher
selects what kind of activities which can support the objectives of the designed materials. The researcher pays attention to what kind of activities appropriate for
the eighth grade students.
6. Designing the materials
After determining goals, topics, general purposes, objectives, subject contents, and the teaching activities, the researcher proceeds to design the
materials.
7. Evaluating the materials
