Gathering Information Theoretical Framework
37 both the English teachers of SMP Negeri 2 Yogyakarta and the ELESP lecturers
of Sanata Dharma University. The feedback given towards the designed materials helped the writer to make some improvement on the designed materials.
Instead of using theory of design to answer the first problem formulation, the writer used theories of task-based language teaching and listening as the
answers of the second research problem. The second research problem is what the design of task-based English listening materials for the eighth graders of SMP N 2
Yogyakarta looks like. The writer applied the phases offered in task-based language teaching to present a complete module which consists of English
listening materials. In addition, the school-based curriculum became the consideration in determining the topic, goals, and general purposes for the
designed materials which are also delivered in the form of syllabus and lesson plan. Since the theory of listening elaborated in this study discusses extensive and
intensive listening, then the writer implements both extensive and intensive listening in presenting a complete module of task-based English listening material
for eighth graders of SMP N 2 Yogyakarta. Besides, many kinds of activities suggested in task-based language teaching and listening theories became the
consideration in formulating many kinds of listening activities for the learners.
