students of international study program to practice and improve their speaking skill in the daily and academic contexts.
C. Limitation of the Problems
The limited number of provided materials to give students more opportunities to speak in English both in academic and daily contexts identified
in the previous section is the reasons of conducting this research. Many kinds of materials are needed to be developed.
Conducting a research covering things stated previously, however, will be a long and hard work and, therefore, will not be feasible for the researcher.
Concerning that the researcher has limited time, this research will focus on developing speaking materials for intermediate level students of International
Accounting Education Study Program that will be based on their needs and level of proficiency.
