H. Assumptions and Limitation in The Product Development
The products are assumed to be the appropriate media for teaching English listening skills to the fifth grade of elementary schools. The picture series will
make the teaching and learning activity fun and interesting so the students will be more motivated to learn English. The illustrations also help the students to
understand the story better and make them more focused on the story line. In addition, the teachers have no difficulties in delivering the material. The picture
series are alternative media for teaching listening. The teachers do not need to do a complicated preparation in teaching listening so the teaching and learning
process takes time efficiently.

On the other hand, there are some limitations of the products because those are only prototypes. Firstly, the main products only consist of two different kinds
of pictures series and those only have two themes; 1 food, 2 adventures. Besides, those only focus on teaching listening skills. Then, due to the strict time
in doing the research, the try-out for the book was done in only one school. The participants were only the fifth grade students of SD IT Insan Cendekia. Besides,
the products only got the validations from 10 English teachers which were used as the
expert‟s judgments without comparing to the other similar products in identifying the feasibility of the media.
