and media for children creates good attitude toward English. The materials and media which are relevant with students’ needs and characteristics can

and characteristics. The materials also can be developed into some interesting activities and it should be supported with interesting media. In
order to develop suitable listening – speaking materials, all aspects should
be taken into account by the writers.
4. For the English Department
This study gives new and important information in developing learning materials especially in teaching listening and speaking for children. The
English Department should encourage the students to create new ideas in developing listening
– speaking materials especially for children.
5. For Other Researchers
In developing listening – speaking materials for children, it is important
to conduct needs analysis on the students’ needs and characteristics, design
materials that relevant with the students’ needs and characteristics, use appropriate instruments, and also conduct evaluation for the developed
materials. The try-out of the developed listening – speaking materials is also
needed to find whether the developed listening – speaking materials are
suitable for the students. The result can be used to revise the developed listening
– speaking materials.
