This chapter presents the conclusions of the study and the recommendations. The conclusions part discuss the problem stated in the research
problem and conclude all the findings in the study. The recommendation part presents the suggestions for the English teachers of SMPN 2 Yogyakarta and other

A. Conclusions
The aim of this study was to develop the appropriate English listening materials using task-based language teaching for the seventh grade students of the
first semester of SMPN 2 Yogyakarta. This study answered to one research problem: what are the designed materials using task-based language teaching for
the seventh grade students of the first semester of SMPN 2 Yogyakarta like? In designing the listening materials, the writer adapted Kemp’s design
which suited to R D method. The design of the materials was developed based on students’ characteristics and theories related to this study. The writer
developed the materials based on the basic competences which were stated as goals from the current curriculum which is School-Based Curriculum 2006.
After being evaluated by the experts in preliminary field testing and being revised by the writer, there were four units to be presented in final version. Each
unit required 2x40 minutes. The four units that were developed were Unit 1
62 “Hello, Friends” which discussed introducing, greeting, and leave taking. Unit 2
“Open Your Book, Please” discussed giving instruction and prohibitions. Unit 3 “Everything Around Us” discussed asking for and giving information. Unit 4 “Be
Grateful” discussed expressing gratitude and apology. There were four main sections in each unit. They were 1 Warming Up, 2 Your Turn, 3 Your Focus,
4 What have you learnt today?. The designed materials also provided activities which support the students
to work individually, in pairs, or in group. The writer expected that the designed materials could motivate the students to learn English especially listening skill.
B. Recommendations
This part presents some recommendations for the English teachers of SMPN 2 Yogyakarta and for other researchers who are interested in a research at
the same field.
1. For the English teachers of
SMPN 2 Yogyakarta
The English teachers are suggested implement the English listening materials using task-based language teaching for the seventh grade students of the
first semester of SMPN2 Yogyakarta as the listening materials. The materials aim to give motivation for the students to be more interested in learning English
especially listening skill. In addition, the teachers are suggested applying other strategies that suit the students’ characteristics.
63
2. For the other researchers
The other researchers are suggested be more creative in designing the materials by adding more various activities to improve their listening skill ability.
The other researchers are also suggested develop and modify the materials using other strategies that are more suitable with the students’ needs and characteristics.
Other methods are to be considered to develop English materials. Since this study is limited to the English listening materials for the seventh grade students of the
first semester of SMPN2 Yogyakarta, the writer suggested the other researchers conduct a research in other settings and different participants in different level.
