This research aims are (1) to investigate the quality of ‘English Alive’
textbook to teach reading skill for tenth grade of SMA Trensains Muhammadiyah
Sragen; and (2) to develop reading-based supplementary materials to teach
reading skill for tenth grade of SMA Trensains Muhammadiyah Sragen. This
Research and Development study were conducted in 2 stages; exploration and
model development. Exploration stage consists of need analysis, library research,
prototype design, and expert judgment while model development consists of
prototype try out and evaluation.
It was showed in the result of need analysis that ‘English Alive’ has some
weaknesses in teaching reading skill; partially compatible aim, missing of
scientific content, limited reading material, lack of teaching reading methodology,
and lack of teacher guidance. To develop supplementary materials, “English
Alive” was evaluated using a construct of a good textbook evaluation. The result
shows that it has several weaknesses in term of aims, content of language, skills,
methodology, and teacher’s guidance. Therefore, there was a need for developing
supplementary reading material.
The data of this research was taken from English teacher, tenth grade
students of SMA Trensains Muhammadiyah Sragen, syllabus and English Alive.
The data was taken using interview, questionnaires, observation, documenting,
expert judgment, and Focus Group Discussion. Then, the data was reduced,
displayed, and concluded based on Miles and Huberman’ model.
The prototype of content-based reading material are developed based on
Curriculum 2006 by analyzing standard competence of scientific subjects in
Curriculum 2006. Then, some materials which meet those standard competences
are developed into draft using teaching reading procedure. The draft was taken to
be evaluated by the ELT expert and science expert to find the weakness of the
prototype. The draft was revised using experts’ feedback. Then the materials are
taken into try-out once to validate the feasibility.
This content-based reading material is hoped to be additional materials
for teaching reading and able to improve students’ motivation and classroom
situation during its application.
