1.2 Problem Formulation
This study attempts to answer the following questions: 1. How is a set of instructional materials implementing Task Based Learning
for the first grade students of Domby Kid’s Hope 2 designed? 2. What does a set of instructional materials using Task Based Learning for
the first grade students of Domby Kid’s Hope 2 look like?
1.3 Problem Limitation
Answering the need for designed materials at Domby, the writer attempts to design materials to teach English to the first grade students of Domby Kid’s
Hope 2 by adopting task-based approach. The main purposes of the designed
materials are to build high motivation and interest of the students in learning English by using tasks provided. The design will include a variety of interesting
tasks in form of individual and group activities. In addition, the designed materials could also give the students opportunities to experience the target language.
It is hoped that there will be a broadening of four key skills: speaking, reading, listening, and writing. First, the designed materials give the students
opportunities to produce and use the language. According to Halliwell 1992: 8, children need to talk. Without sufficient practice, there is no way that they can
become proficient in spoken English. However, in these ages children also undergo a silent period while learning new language. Ellis 1997: 20 states that
they make no attempt to say anything to begin with. They may be learning a lot about language through listening and reading. Thus, the designed materials also

include listening activities and simple and short instructions. The third, the designed materials also provide writing activities. From the tutors’ experience,
these children have different level of writing skill. Therefore, in the designed materials provide only few writing activities. In these activities, the tutors can
help the students who still cannot write yet.
