2 Revisions of Unit 1
Based on the results of material evaluation above, Unit 1 was appropriate for the tenth grade students of senior high schools. However, there were still some
parts that had to be revised. Mostly, the revisions were about grammatical mistakes. First of all, there were some words that needed to be revised in the
sentences. For example in the sentence “Individually, make your own recount text
by choosing the themes below based on your experiences. ” was ungrammatical. It
should be “Individually, write your own recount text by choosing one of the
themes below based on your experiences. ”
Then, there were some words that should be written in plural forms. For example in the sentence “It has 504 statue and 1.400 relief.” was ungrammatical.
It should be “It has 504 statues and 1.400 reliefs.” Besides, determiners needed to be added in some sentences. For example,
“Study the following information about simple past tense
.” was ungrammatical. It should be “Study the following information about the simple past tense
.” Moreover, there were some words that needed to be capitalized. It could be
found the sentence “Arrange those jumbled sentences in task 12 into a good
paragraph.” It should be “Arrange those jumbled sentences in Task 12 into a good paragraph.” In addition there were some marks in the instructions that should be
replaced. For example in the instruction “Read the following texts and answer the
questions below” was ungrammatical. It should be “Read the following texts and answer the questions below.”
Overall, the expert said that the developed materials were appropriate enough. However, the lack was the language used that needed to be corrected.
Thus, his suggestions were to correct the language used and the grammatical mistakes. The complete revisions of Unit 1 could be found in Appendix H.
