Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop computer-assisted language learning (CALL)-based materials for reading comprehension for Grade VIII students of SMP N 1 Prembun, Kebumen. This was a Research and Development (R & D) study. The research followed R & D cycles proposed by Borg and Gall (1983) which were modified with the cycles of Jolly and Bollitho (1998). The subjects of the research were students of Grade VIII of SMP N 1 Prembun, Kebumen Class VIII A and Class VIII B. Questionnaires and the interview guide line were the instruments used in the research to obtain the data. The data from the questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively and the data from the interview were investigated qualitatively. The first stage of the research was conducting needs analysis. From the information gained, course grids were made. The course grids were used to be guidance in developing materials. The developed materials constituted the first draft which was then evaluated through expert judgment. There were two aspects which were evaluated, i.e. materials aspects and media aspects. From the suggestions and corrections given by the experts, the materials were then revised to be the final draft of the materials. The result of the needs analysis showed that the students needed materials for reading comprehension which were attractive and interesting and based on their study background. Three units of the materials had its objectives which all focus on vocabulary building, grammar (the use of the present tense, adjectives and adverbs) and text construction. From the result of the analysis of the questionnaires for the expert judgment, the highest score of the materials aspect was 3.75 which indicated “very good” and the lowest mean of the materials aspect was 2.80 which indicated “fair”. Meanwhile, for the media aspect, the highest score was 4.00 that was categorized as “very good” and the lowest score was “3.66” that was categorized as “good”. Thus, it can be concluded that the developed materials of reading comprehension based on CALL have been appropriate for Grade VIII students of junior high schools.
