Abstract:
Islamic boarding schools or we call it pesantren nowadays pay full
attention to the development of the English language which has become the main
need of modern society in interacting and improving their quality. Pesantren
which initially focused on the study of Islamic religion started its big step by
adding and collaborating with general knowledge and language. One of pesantren
in Lumajang applies washiyyatul mushthofa classical book learning using english
translation, this implementation is to achieve one of the visions of holding this
English area program, which is to produce students in pesantren who have
English communication skills with content of Islamic religious values.
After finding a uniqueness in learning English in this pesantren, the
researcher continued to conduct a preliminary study to find out what and how the
learning was carried out in the classroom. In this stage the researcher conducted
an interview with one of the caregivers of the pesantren and found a finding that
the learning was not equipped with textbooks that were focused on developing
speaking skills based on the washiyyatul mushthofa classical book.
Based on the temporary data obtained, it is clear that a solution of the
problem is developing a material needed by students. Therefore, the research uses
research and development methods that are oriented to the research model
initiated by Adnan (2017), there are four stages carried out namely identifying the
problems to be solved, developing the materials, validating to experts and try out.
Needs analysis is done by giving a questionnaire to eight students of
elementary class, then followed by interviews with three students consist of the
highest, middle and lowest scores, hence the data on student needs is more valid
and can be accepted by each student's ability level in the class. As for the results
of the needs' analysis, it can be seen that students currently have speaking skills at
the imitative skill stage and need more training to handle a nervousness.
After validating to expert and try out to students, finally this product can be
accepted and applied properly. As for the content in the textbook, it consists of
steps to interpret the understanding of the contents of the book in Indonesian into
English, stories containing Islamic values, and daily conversations that students
often do, this is expected to be a supporter in assembling students' public speaking
material. After carrying out a series of processes to get the best results from a
product, it can be concluded that the results of this research indicate that
emphasizing an English for Islamic materials requires a long process and one of
them is using speaking supplement ray materials which are focused on vocabulary
about the material and diction of the language of Islamic religious science.
Suggestions for the use of this product are specifically for students who
already have sufficient basic knowledge of Islamic religion and Arabic. Because
some of the material in this book has a part that connects Arabic linguistic
knowledge which is generally studied by students in learning the islamic classical
book with English linguistics. Suggestions for further development are that the
needs analysis is carried out more widely and the willingness and needs of
students are more representative.
