As mentioned in chapter I in the problem formulation, this research intends to answer two questions on how a set of vocabulary supplementary materials for the eleventh grade students of SMA Pangudi Luhur Yogyakarta is designed and what the design looks like.

R D method is defined as a process for developing and validating educational products whose goal is not to discover new knowledge but rather to build tested products that are ready for operational use in the school. It enables the writer to adapt some relevant research findings and translate them into tested, usable educational products. In the R D method, the writer studies the relevant research findings to support the product, develops the products, field-tests the product in the setting where it will be used, and uses the feedback of the field-testing to revise the product.
