To answer the first question, the writer adapted Kemp’s and Yalden’s model of instructional design to obtain an appropriate model developed by the writer.
The writer adapted Yalden’s model because it stresses the importance of needs survey. It was used to obtain as much information as possible about the learners’
needs. The other steps were adapted from Kemp’s model of instructional design. The reason why the writer adapted Kemp’s model is that it is a flexible process
model. This means that the writer may start the planning from any step then move back on any step to others. There were six steps implemented in this study,
namely: 1.
Conducting need survey 2.
Specifying goals, topics, and general purposes 3.
Formulating learning objectives 4.
Selecting and organizing contents 5.
Selecting learning activities and resources 6.
