Abstract

This study is aimed at developing suitable reading tasks for the seventh grade students of SMP N 2 Pundong Bantul Yogyakarta. The result of this study is expected to provide a set of appropriate English reading tasks in response to the lack of supplementary learning source materials for an afternoon English extracurricular on SMP N 2 Pundong. This study is classified as a Research and Development (R & D) study. The participants of the study were the seventh grade students of SMP N 2 Pundong, the English teacher, and English Education Program lecturers of Yogyakarta State University. The data were collected through questionnaires. The first questionnaire was distributed to the students to find out their needs and characteristics. The second questionnaire was administered to validate the first draft of the developed tasks. The third questionnaire was distributed to get the feedback from the students toward the second draft of the tasks. The final product of this study passed through a series of material design steps, namely; collecting preliminary information, writing tasks grids, designing the first draft, validating the developed tasks, revising the tasks, conducting tryouts, evaluating and revising for the final draft. The developed tasks are divided into five units which cover nine reading skills. The topic are Previewing & Predicting for Unit 1; Scanning & Skimming for Unit 2; Vocabulary Building & Guessing Meaning from the Context for Unit 3; Recognizing Text Organization for Unit 4; and Interpreting Reference & Making Inference for Unit 5. After being validated, implemented, evaluated, and revised, the developed reading tasks are said to meet the students’ needs and characteristics. It can be seen from the result of the third questionnaire that shows the mean of each aspect of the tasks ranging from 3.3 to 5.0. Therefore, it can be concluded that the tasks are appropriate for the seventh grade students of SMP N 2 Pundong.
