2. Planning

The data gained from the Research and Information Collecting would be used to decide the suitable listening materials based on the students’ needs and interests. The data were presented in the form of syllabus and lesson plans. Since the design would be developed based on the School-Based Curriculum which is applied in the school, the terms in the Planning were suited with the school’s syllabus. The most important aspect in Planning is stating the objectives, which should be achieved by the designed materials. Thus, the writer would firstly review the competency standard and the basic competence, and listed the topics of the design of the materials based on the syllabus of SMA Dominilus Wonosari. Then, the writer formulated the indicators for the students to achieve at the end of the lesson. This step included two steps of writer’s model which were 2 Stating competency standard, basic competences, and topics, and 3 Listing Indicators.
