Formulating Goals, Topics and General Purposes
needed 90 minutes time allocation for each meeting since the students spent more time to read the materials. Here, the researcher was to develop
learning activities and experiences. Moreover, the researcher prepared three sections to help students understand the reading materials. Those are
pre-reading activity, whilst reading activity, and post reading activity. The detailed were as follows.
1. Pre-reading activity
This section aimed to stimulate students’ background knowledge through several questions related to the topic of the passages or
dialogs. In addition, the questions involved difficult vocabulary from the passages or dialogs. The difficult vocabulary was to be underlined
to make the students easier to find the meaning. Here the students were to make prediction of what the meaning of the underlined word was.
Therefore, the students were ready to discuss the detail of the passages or dialogs.
2. Whilst reading activity
This section consisted of passages, dialogs, memo, and business letters. The activities in this section used Interactive Model as a basis
to develop the materials. As the researcher stated before, Interactive Model is the combination of bottom-up and top down process. Next,
the students completed missing letters and words from the text and dialog based on the topic of each unit. Here, the students bottom-up
model. In order to find the missing words and letters, the students have PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
to read the complete sentences or the whole passages. Here, the students apply top down model. Those activities aimed to give a clear
comprehension of both literary and meaning. Therefore, in one passage bottom-up and top down model are combined to make the students
understand the passage efficiently and effectively. In addition, the students were to answer several Wh- questions and true false questions
based on the passages given. The students also were to make application letter and give a correct respond to an order letter. This
activity helped the students understand passages easier and helped the students to know how to make an application letter and order letter.
3. Post reading activity
The students were to ask some questions based on their understanding from the previous sections. This section aimed to
measure whether the students understand the lesson or not.
