The objectives of this research study were 1) to identify the needs of grade six students at SD N Paliyan IV in learning English, 2) to design appropriate learning materials for grade six students of SD N Paliyan IV in the first semester. The type of this research was Research and Development (R&D). The goal of this research study was to design an educational product in the form of student’s book. The steps were conducting needs analysis, writing the first draft, doing expert judgment, writing the second draft, trying-out the second draft, evaluating the second draft, and writing the final draft. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected in this research study. The quantitative data were obtained by administering questionnaires andwere analyzed by the descriptive statistics. The qualitative data were obtained by doing observations and interviews and analyzed qualitatively. Target needs and learning needs were analysed to identify the needs of the students. In terms of the target needs, necessities, wants, and lacks were analized. In relation to the necessities, the students studied English in order to be able to achieve the goals which implicitely mentioned in the standard competences and basic competences. In terms of the wants, the data showed that the students studied English because they want to be able to use English to communicate. In terms of the lacks, the data showed that the students were poor on vocabulary mastery and pronunciation. In terms of the learning needs, the data showed that the students preferred to have activities like doing ‘listen and do’ activity, playing communicative games, reading aloud, doing comprehension questions, and writing short functional text. Three units were designed in this research study. Each unit consists of 18 tasks to develop the four skills. The tasks were designed by considering the six components of task proposed by Nunan (2004). They were sequenced using Nunan’s ‘psycholinguistic processing’ approach (2004). The quantitative data analysis showed that the tasks are appropriate as indicated by the mean value of the data ranging from 3.13 to 3.77. The qualitative data analysis showed that an appropriate goal was to develop the four skills of the students (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). Appropriate inputs were dialogs and monologs which were interesting, comprehensible and not too long. An appropriate procedure was a procedure which consisted of some interesting activities. An appropriate setting was a setting which was determined based on the type of the task, the level of the difficulties, and the students’ ability. Appropriate learner role was as active learners. Appropriate teacher roles were as an instructor, observer, informer, and a facilitator.
