Abstract
The final objective of this study was to develop communicative tasks which were suitable for the eighth grade students at Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 14 Yogyakarta in semester I. This study was a Research and Development (R & D) type that followed Borg and Gall’s research design (2003) combined with Brian Tomlinson model design (1998) with several modifications. There were eight stages in this study. The first stage was conducting needs analysis in which a questionnaire and interview guideline were used in this stage to gather the learners’ needs and interest. Data from the questionnaires was analyzed quantitatively while the data from interview was analyzed qualitatively. The second stage was developing the course grid that based on the data from the needs analysis. The third stage was writing the materials in which the course grid was used as guidance. Then, the designed materials became the first draft of product. The fourth stage was expert judgements. The first draft of product was evaluated by the experts at TEFL methodology. The fifth stage was conducting the first try-out that was used to get users’ opinion as the basis of evaluation. Grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 14 Yogyakarta class VIIIA and VIIIC were involved in this try-out. The next stage was revising the materials based on the users’ opinion in the first try-out. The seventh stage was conducting the second try-out that was also used to get users’ opinion about the revised materials. Then, the last stage was writing the final product that was based on the users’ opinion in the second try-out. The final product of this study consisted of communicative tasks in three units. Each unit was arranged in 22 tasks in which the activities focused on comprehension, language, and communication. After being tried-out and evaluated, the communicative tasks were proved to fulfill the criteria of good materials. The quantitative analysis result of the evaluation questionnaire showed that the highest mean was 3.32 and the lowest one was 2.83. Based on categorization using an ideal mean (Mi) and an ideal standard deviation (SDi), 10 of 12 statements about the materials belonged to “good” category and two statements belonged to “very good” category. Thus, it could be concluded that the developed communicative tasks for the eighth grade students were already suitable and appropriate.
