4 Why speaking? As we know that English is an international language, it is
the world‘s most commonly used language Randolph, 1985:3. It means that English has been considered as an international language that is used in scientific
and modern technology, trade and political exchange. Because of this reason, many people especially in Indonesia are motivated to learn English because they
are aware that communication among nations is urgently needed. In other words, the need for English is increasing. Perhaps, it is one of the reasons why speaking
is considered the most effective way to communicate to other people. Cooperative efforts result in participants striving for mutual benefit so that
all group members are able to gain from each others efforts, recognize that all group members share a common fate, know that ones performance is mutually
caused by oneself and ones team members feel proud and jointly celebrate when a group member is recognized for achievement. Some research has shown that
cooperative learning techniques promote student ‘s learning and academic
achievement, increase student ‘s retention, enhance student‘s satisfaction with their
learning experience, help students to develop skills in oral communication and social skills, promote student
‘s self-esteem, and help to promote positive race relations David and Roger Johnson, 2001.

C. Problem Formulation
Based on the illustration given on the background of the problem, the writer formulated the problems as:
1. How is a set of English speaking instructional materials for the staff of Bantul
Community-Based Rehabilitation using Cooperative Learning designed? 2.
What does the design of a set of English speaking instructional materials for the staff of Bantul Community-Based Rehabilitation using Cooperative
Learning look like?
