4. The Unit Design
After developing the course grid, the next step is designing the materials. The figure below shows the parts of each unit of the materials.
Figure 4: The Unit Design
Figure 4 above shows that each unit of the developed materials consists of five parts: introduction, main lesson, reinforcement, intermezzo,
and confirmation. The first part of the unit which is introduction shows the title of the unit, brief explanation of the unit and also a warming up
activity in each cycle. This part is expected to help students activate their schema related to the topics and make them ready to learn.
The second part is the main lesson which consists of two cycles: Spoken Cycle and Written Cycle. Each cycle consists of several tasks
which are developed to help students achieve the goals in the basic competences of Curriculum 2006. Spoken Cycle or the first cycle of the
main lesson provides the students with several tasks that will help them in enhancing their listening and speaking skills. They will listen to some
recordings and try to comprehend conversations by answering questions. They will also create short dialogues in pairs to be later performed in front
of the class as the final product of this cycle. The second cycle which is Written Cycle provides the students with several tasks that will help them
in enhancing their reading and writing skills. It also starts with the warming up activity to help students prepare the following lesson. There
will be examples of text based on the course grid that will be explained in this cycle. The students will later comprehend the text, answer questions,
arrange words or sentences and finally make short text based on the situations given. The tasks in these cycles are related to the topic discussed
both in the language and grammar focus.
The third part is the reinforcement which consists of Summary and Reflection. It will help students in recalling the memory of what they have
learned in the unit and assessing their achievement by knowing their success and lack in learning the materials in the unit.
The next part of the unit is intermezzo that provides the students facts and information related to the Pharmacy Study Programme. The
intermezzo has two corners, the first one which is Did You Know? gives information about medicine that is being discussed in the tasks, while the
second one, My Greenhouse gives information about useful plants or herbal medicine that can be found around the students’ environment. Both
intermezzo corners are placed randomly in the unit. The last part of the unit is confirmation that consists of Word Bank. It
provides vocabulary list related to the topic in the unit to help the students find the meaning of specific words in Bahasa Indonesia and also help them
in pronouncing those words by giving the phonetic transcriptions.
