B. Discussion

The aim of this research is to develop the task based English materials for the tenth graders automotive engineering in SMK YAPPI Wonosari based on KTSP or continued school based curriculum. However, these materials can be used by the students of other schools with the same study programme. This research was started by conducting the need analysis on February 26 th to February 27 th 2016. There were 80 tenth graders of automotive engineering study programme and an English teacher involved in this step. To collect the data related to the needs, there were two instruments used namely questionnaire and interview guidelines. The questionnaire was distributed to the students and contained 106 questions related to the target needs and learning needs. The interview was conducted to support the result of the questionnaire. It involved some students of automotive engineering study programme and an English teacher. The questions which covered the target needs in the questionnaire and interview have been developed in accordance with the principle of need analysis proposed by Hutchinson and Waters 1998. There are three kinds of target needs namely necessities, lacks, and wants Hutchinson and Waters, 1998: 54. Meanwhile, the questions which covered the learning needs in the questionnaire have been developed adapted from the Components of Task proposed by Nunan 2004. The learning needs include input, procedure, teacher’s roles, student’s roles, and setting. Nunan 2004: 47 defines input as the spoken, written, and visual data that the learners work with in course of completing task. In terms of the input for the English materials, students believed that dialogues, audios, pictures, and simple texts that were appropriate as the input of the tasks. Nunan 2004: 52 states that procedures mean what learners will actually do with the input that forms the point of departure for the learning task. Based on the results of the need analysis, the learning activities that the students wanted were listening to the audio and answering the questions, completing the dialogue, having discussion, reading aloud with correct pronunciation, arranging the jumbled paragraphs, completing cloze sentences, arranging words or sentences, listening and understanding teacher’s explanations, matching words with the definitions, and reading the pronunciation lists. Related to the setting, the classroom management specified or implied in the task Nunan, 2004: 70, the students wanted to do tasks in small groups outside the classroom. In the developed materials, the students were also asked to do some tasks individually. In terms of the teacher’s roles in the classroom, the students and the teacher agreed that the teacher plays the role as the main example before the activities and corrector of students’ mistakes in the classroom. Meanwhile, the student’s role in the classroom was as the active participant and students find the new things independently. Nunan 2004: 64 defines ‘roles’ as the part that learners and teachers are expected to play in carrying out learning tasks as well as the social and interpersonal relationship between the participants. The results of the needs and some documents, such as curriculum and syllabus, were considered as the bases to create the course grid before the materials developed. The course grid was used as the framework in developing the English materials. It consisted of topic, unit title, language function, language focus, indicators, learning activities, and inputs. There were three units that have been developed based on the steps of within- task sequencing: pre-task, task-proper, and follow-up. Each unit contained of 15 tasks, a reflection, a summary, and a word bank. All units covered the four skills of English namely listening, reading, speaking, and writing. After developing the materials, then the materials were evaluated through conducting the expert judgement. It was done by distributing the questionnaire to the expert. The questionnaire were adapted from the BSNP 2011 and contained of four aspects: content appropriateness, language appropriateness, presentation appropriateness, and layout appropriateness. The expert also gave some feedbacks and suggestions. The revisions were done by the researcher based on the feedbacks and suggestions from the expert. The table below shows the mean score of the materials based on the results of the expert judgement.
