A. Conclusions

The purpose of this research was to design a set of reading materials using children’s stories for the fourth graders in MI MA’ARIF Klangon based on Cooperative Language Learning. There were two problems in this research namely 1 How is a set of reading materials using children’s stories for the fourth graders in MI MA’ARIF Klangon based on Cooperative Language Learning designed? and 2 How does a set of reading materials using children’s stories for the fourth graders in MI MA’ARIF Klangon based on Cooperative Language Learning look like?. To answer the first question in the problem formulation, the researcher adapted Kemp’s model. The steps of the adapted instructional design model were 1 obtaining learners’ characteristics, 2 formulating goals, topics, and general purposes, 3 listing the subject contents, 4 stating the learning objectives, 5 selecting teaching learning activities and resources, 6 conducting an evaluation survey, and 7 revising the materials. In obtaining the data in order to improve the final version of the designed materials, the researcher distributed questionnaires to the English teacher of MI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI MA’ARIF Klangon, Kalibawang, Kulon Progo, the English teacher of SD N 3 Glodogan, and the lecturer of English Language Education Study Program Sanata Dharma University. The results showed that the designed materials were well developed and acceptable for the fourth grade students of MI MA’ARIF Klangon, Kalibawang, Kulon Progo. However, the designed materials still needed some revisions based on the evaluators’ suggestions to make the designed materials better. To answer the second question in the problem formulation, the researcher presented the final version of the designed materials. The designed materials consist of six units. They are presented in table 5.1. Every unit consists of three sections. There were pre activity, whilst activity, and post activity.
