Teaching Engbsh to Elementary School students has to be done carefully in order to
make it effective. All aspects of teaching must be maximally fulfilled. Teaching materials is
one of the most important aspect~
that has to be well and appropriately designed.
Elementary schools in Langsa Kota have been using textbooks published outside the area
and written by those who do not know the real condition there. As a result, many of the
students cannot reach their best achievement of th(;; language. For thi s reason, the writer is
interested to write and design materials, which are expected to be appropriate and effective
for the students. Therefore, th(;; problem ol' the research is ''What teach1ng materials are
eflectivc for students of the fourth year of elementary schools in Langsa Kota?"
The writer at first writes three sample materials that are taught for four meetings.
The materials are written in accordance with the theories of children cognitive
development, communicative approach, and various aspects of the peoplt:: such as students'
English experience. After writing the materials, to find out the effectiveness of it, the writer
conducts an experiment. ln this study, the posttest-only design is applied. Since the
materials are different, the Experimental and Control Group is only one class that conSISt$
of 40 students. The class is taught the old materials in the first four meetings, and then a
te~
is administered. After that, the new materials arc taught also in four meting~,
and a tem
is administered
To gain the cHcctivcncss of the new materials, t-t.est is used. The result of
computing the t-test shows that the t-ca\ul~d
is higher than the t-tablc (4.89 > 2.000)
with the degree of freedom (dj) 78 at the level of significance 0.05. Therefore, it can be
concluded that th(;; materials are very effective, which means that the hypothesis is
accepted.
