There are several terms which need to be clarified to avoid misinterpretation or misunderstanding. The definitions of the terms are as follows:

the learning objectives and specific subject area of particular learners” Hutchinson and Water, 1994. In this study, designing refers to creating a set of English speaking
materials that fit the needs of the students of Management Major of Duta Wacana University Yogyakarta.

Dick and Reiser define that “instructional materials are materials planned by the teacher for instruction” Dick and Reiser, 1989:3. In this study they are meant as
a set of materials which are planed by designers, to be used by the teachers and learners as the focus of the discussion in the teaching learning process in order to
achieve the objectives.
3. Speaking
Widdowson 1979: 58 says that “speaking is a kind of active and productive interaction that makes us use aural mediums”. Aural mediums are mouth, lips,
tongue, and other oral cavities. Widdowson also emphasizes face-to-face interaction including dialogue or other forms of verbal exchange as a fact of communication. If
people use non-verbal language in face-to-face interaction, then it is not speaking. In this thesis, speaking refers to a kind of active and productive interaction using aural
media.
