part, there are warm up activities which help students to have a schema building of the materials that will be learnt in the unit, also the students can recall their
knowledge by doing the tasks that are provided. The second part of the materials is the lesson proper or the main lesson.
Each unit has two cycles, the spoken cycle and the written cycle that follows the steps of a scientific approach. The steps are observing, questioning, collecting,
analyzing, communicating, and creating. In the observing stage, students read a text or listen to a monologue. Students have chances to observe things they know
or want to know further in terms of content, structure, language features, grammar, pronunciation. Based on the items they know or want to know further,
students make questions in questioning stage. The collecting, analyzing and communicating stage are combined into finding out. It is made to ease the
students in learning the materials through tasks. Students collect the data by doing the tasks, then communicate their finding through discussions in pairs or groups.
The last step of the scientific approach is creating. In this stage, students apply what they know from the discussions by producing a particular text. Each unit is
developed integratedly, from guided to non-guided activities. In the end of the spoken cycle, there is an intermezzo “
Did You Know?
” that is related to the topic of each unit.
The last part of the materials is reinforcement which consists of homework, summary, and reflection. Students have chances to reflect what they
have learnt in the unit through activities in homework. In summary, the students have a clear explanation of the text, language features, and grammar in the unit.
