therefore, more explanation and a task was added.
B. Discussion
The aims of teaching English in the vocational high school are to prepare the students with communicative competence and to prepare the students for future
work. This research was focused on developing appropriate English materials for grade eleventh students of Avionics Maintenance and Repair study program in
vocational school. Therefore, ESP approach was applied in this research. The research procedure of this study was adapted from revised version of
ADDIE model proposed by Jolly and Bolitho in Tomlinson, 1998: 96-98 which consists of six steps: Identification of need, Exploration of need, Contextual and
pedagogical realisation of materials, Production of materials, Evaluation, and Revising and writing the final draft.
In the Identification of need stage, a needs analysis was conducted to find out the students’ needs. A validated questionnaire was distributed to the students. The
results of needs analysis showed that the students’ purpose of learning English was to prepare for future job based on the vocational program which was
Avionics Maintenance and Repair, such as understanding how to operate and maintain electronic systems and devices for aeronautics and astronautics.
After the needs analysis had been conducted, the next steps were Exploration of need, Contextual and pedagogical realisation of materials, and Production of
materials. In this stage, the course grid was formulated and the first draft of the materials were developed. The materials contained three units. There wereu 17 to
19 tasks in each unit in the materials. Each unit consisted of four sections; those were Gear Up - Spoken Cycle - Written Cycle - Fun Fact. After the materials had
been developed, an expert judgment was carried out to obtain feedback on the materials quality. The criteria used for expert judgment were based on the English
course book assessment standards issued by BSNP. Based on the results of expert judgment, the content, the language, the
method and the materials presentation were appropriate but in the first draft, the material
s did not focus on teaching, but more on testing students’ knowledge. Hence explanations on the language function must be added. There were also
some minor print out defects that needed to be repaired and other revisions needed to be made in order to improve the quality of the developed materials.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions and suggestions of the research. The conclusions include the answers of the objectives of the research and the
conclusions of research findings and discussion. The suggestions contain some suggestions from the researcher to English teachers of senior high school, other
researchers and material developers.
A. Conclusions
The objectives of this research were to describe the English learning needs of grade eleven students of Avionics Maintenance and Repair program of SMK
Penerbangan AAG Adisutjipto and to develop appropriate learning materials for grade eleven students of Avionics Maintenance and Repair program of SMK
Penerbangan AAG Adisutjipto. Based on the research findings and discussion in Chapter IV, two conclusions
could be drawn. Firstly, from the needs analysis, it was revealed that the students ’
main goal of learning English was to be able to communicate in both spoken and written English well because they realized that their English skills were not
sufficient to satisfy their future needs. In terms of learning needs, students’ needs were divided into five namely
learning input, procedure, setting, students’ role, and teacher’s role. Students wanted varied and interesting input texts in reasonable lengths as the learning
materials for each skill. Students also liked almost all common learning activities such as listening and answering questions, reading and then answering questions,
and so on. They preferred to work in a small group in the language laboratory. In addition, the students wanted to have discussion and be more active in the class
while the teacher facilitated them to do so. Secondly, the developed materials were relevant to needs of the eleventh
grade students of Avionics Maintenance and Repair study program. They needed appropriate English materials that fulfill the students’ needs with appropriate
learning context. From the evaluation of the materials, it was found that the developed materials were appropriate to be implemented as the English materials
for the eleventh grade students of Avionics Maintenance and Repair study program. The mean score based on the materials evaluation in the aspects of
content, language, presentation, and graphic was 3.59 which belonged to the “Very Good” category. The materials were considered as the final draft of the
research after doing some revisions. Thus, it could be concluded that the materials were appropriate to be
implemented as the English materials for the eleventh grade students of Avionics Maintenance and Repair study program at SMK Penerbangan AAG Adisutjipto.
B. Suggestions
There are some suggestions proposed to the English teachers, other researchers who are interested in this field, and material developers. Those are
presented as follow.
