Abstract

The objectives of this study are to develop writing materials through the Genre-Based Teaching and to identify the characteristics of the suitable writing materials for Year-Nine students of SMPN 1 Karangmojo. This study is categorized as Research and Development (R&D) type. The steps in this study were conducting needs analysis, writing the course grid, writing the first draft of the materials, trying out or implementing the materials, evaluating the materials, revising the materials, and writing the final draft of the developed materials. The instruments were questionnaires, interviews, and documentations. The questionnaires were given in two separate times. The first questionnaire was distributed in the early stage of the study to find out the students’ need toward the English writing materials. The second was carried out in order to get the feedback or the opinions from the respondents and to obtain the evaluation for the developed materials. The result of the second questionnaire and the interview were used to revise the developed materials. Besides, they were also used to identify the characteristics of suitable materials for yearnine students. The developed materials consist of three units, each of which represents the different genres. The units are (1) Advertisement, (2) Procedure, and (3) Report. Furthermore, each unit was presented in the four stages namely Building knowledge of Field (Let’s begin), Modeling of the text (Let’s Move further), Join construction of the Text (Find Your partner), and Independent Construction of the text (try to Do It). The average score or the mean of the respondents’ agreement toward the statements in the second questionnaire is 4.54 to 3.96 for Unit 1, 4.54 to 3.96 for Unit 2, and 4.46 to 3.75 for Unit 3. All of the average scores were in the range of ideal one, i.e. > 4.2 represented ‘very good’ category and 3.4 < ≤ 4.2 represented ‘good’ category. The average score and the respondents’ opinions indicate that the students agreed with the developed writing materials. Additionally, the developed materials were suitable with the year-nine students of SMPN 1 Karangmojo. The research finding of this study indicates that the developed materials through the Genre-Based Teaching give a good contribution to the improvement of the students’ writing skill. Therefore, it is recommended that the teachers should have to apply the Genre-Based Teaching in developing English materials for teaching.
