A. Conclusions

The implementation of School-based Curriculum which focuses on the four English skills learning made the presentation of grammar discussion in English lessons limited. Nevertheless, the students’ enthusiasm in grammar discussion in SMAN 1 Depok was relatively high with a high level of difficulty because of limited grammar discussion in their main textbook. Therefore, this study was aimed at designing a set of supplementary instructional grammar materials using contextual teaching and learning for the eleventh grade students of SMAN 1 Depok Yogyakarta. To answer the first question in the problem formulation, the writer proposed a research framework which was adopted from instructional design models by Kemp and Yalden. This research framework was suited to the first five steps of Educational Research and Development RD cycle by Borg and Gall 1963.
