A. Conclusions

The objective of the study was to design a set of English instructional materials incorporating Multiple Intelligences theory for the fourth grade students of SDN UNGARAN II Yogyakarta. There were two problems to be solved in the study. They are 1 How is a set of English instructional materials incorporating Multiple Intelligences theory for the fourth grade students of SDN UNGARAN II Yogyakarta designed? 2What does the designed set of materials look like? In order to solve those two problems, the writer conducted two kinds of survey research. The first survey research for the needs analysis was conducted to gather the data about students’ needs, interests, and lacks. The second survey research was carried out to gather the data from qualified and appropriate respondents to gain opinions and suggestions on the designed set of materials. The survey was used to evaluate and revise the designed set of materials. To solve the first problem, the writer adapted an instructional design model, which was the combination of two models offered by Yalden and Kemp. The model consists of seven steps, namely conducting needs survey, stating goals, topics, and general purposes, identifying learner’s characteristics, stating learning objectives, 74 75 selecting teaching learning activities and instructional resources, evaluating, and revising. The writer used five points of agreement to asses the respondents’ opinions about the designed materials in the evaluation. The results of the questionnaire were calculated by using measure of central tendency to obtain the mean; the average point for the materials is in range from 3.5 up to 4.1 on five points scale. Therefore, the writer showed that the designed materials were generally acceptable and suitable for the fourth grade students of elementary school. To solve the second problems of the study, the writer presented the final version of the designed materials on the appendices. There are eight units of materials presented. They are: My Pets animals, Tutti Frutti fruits, What Color is it? shapes and color, Home Sweet Home things at home, My Lovely School things at school, He is a Doctor profession, Let’s Count numbers, Today is My Birthday days and months. Each unit is divided into five parts, namely 1 Let’s Sing, 2 Look, Listen, and Repeat, 3 Let’s Find the Words, 4 Let’s Practice, 5 Let’s Have Fun. The detailed and complete presentation of the designed set of materials can be seen in appendix F.
