DEVELOPING TEACHING MATERIALS FOR LISTENING FOR GENERAL PURPOSES SUBJECT
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Listening for General Purposes is one of the compulsory subjects in the English study program at one of the public universities in Indonesia. In the teaching and learning process, the lecturers often find difficulties in finding appropriate materials that fit the curriculum and students' interests. This research aimed to develop teaching materials for the Listening for general Purposes subject. The developed teaching materials were in the form of a textbook with attractive videos. The topics were selected based on the characteristics of the students and the result of the needs analysis questionnaire. This research employed a Research and Development design based on the theory developed by Borg and Gall (1983). The result of the research is a listening textbook with attractive videos. With such a textbook, it is hoped that the lecturers teaching Listening for General Purposes will no longer find it difficult to teach this subject. Besides, videos are hoped to encourage students to be more active in the teaching and learning process. The developed product is expected to also be used by other lecturers teaching listening in other universities when the result of the implementation of the product yields positive results in further research.
