| dc.description.abstract | The primary goal of this research is to guide students to be able to
communicate in English through the appropriate materials for basic of cruise ship
crew. Teaching and learning of English at this subject was considered unable to
achieve its objective. The main problem was that there were not instructional
materials to support the teaching learning process.
The procedures being employed in this study were R&D. Collecting
information, developing instructional material, conducting expert validation,
revising the materials, trying out the materials and revising the materials (adapted
from Borg and Gall, 1989). To collect relevant information for a basis of
developing materials, the interview with the teacher and students, and classroom
observation were carried out to complete the information provided in the
instructional materials. To conduct expert validation, questionnaires were given to
the expert of material development. The students were give questionnaires
whereas the teacher was not only given the questionnaires but also interviewed in
this research.
In connection with the problem above, the most significant problem that
should be handled is the unavailability of the materials. Based on the problem, the
appropriate solution is providing instructional materials. Since the students are
expected to be able to use English as a means of communication orally, the
materials for supporting the speaking skill of students at Bangkalan Education
Centre are very limited; therefore, the objective of the development is to produce
appropriate speaking materials. The instructional materials are hoped to enrich the
learning sources and expected to facilitated and maximize the learning process of
the speaking.
Based on the try-out, the data showed the applicability of the materials
developed in motivating the students to learn English. It was reflected in the data
collected from the questionnaires and classroom observation. The data collected
from observation showed that the students were actively involved in teaching and
learning during try-out. One of reasons was that the topics being discussed were
interesting and related to the real-life situation. Besides that, the tasks the students
have to do could activate their knowledge of the topics and their language skills.
The difficulty level of language used in the materials was appropriate of them.

The final product of the development is student’s book. The student’s book
is the speaking materials for basic of cruise ship crew which contains ten units and
designed in the form of sets of units; the materials are developed in systematic
format, that is I) Basic knowledge of cruise ship 2) Dialogue & Expression, 3)
Conversation practice (Role Play) 4) Tasks. The materials are developed on the
basis of the language functions involving basic competences of the speaking skill.
The suggestion for the textbook usage are; (1) for teachers, it is suggested
that the teachers be more innovative in using materials especially in giving
variations to the students’ activities. (2) for students and teacher in
comprehending the content are more focused in speaking materials. | en_US |
