Abstract

DESIGNING APPROPRIATE ENGLISH MATERIALS BASED ON GARDNER’S MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES THEORY FOR GRADE IV STUDENTS OF SD ISLAMIYAH PAKUALAMAN YOGYAKARTA IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2008/2009 By: Ani Tri Hastanti NIM. 04202241037 ABSTRACT The present study attempts to design and characterize a set of appropriate English materials for Grade IV students of SD Islamiyah Pakualaman Yogyakarta. The materials are specially designed based on Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. The students’ diversity of intelligence profiles is taken into consideration in the material design. By applying the language activities and classroom techniques based on this theory, the materials are intended to accommodate the students’ needs and interests. This study is categorized as Research and Development (R&D). The respondents are Grade IV students of SD Islamiyah Pakualaman Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2008/2009. The procedure of this research consists of collecting information, designing materials, conducting evaluation, and redesigning materials. Data are collected through classroom observations, interviews, and questionnaires. Quantitative data of the questionnaire are analysed using the central tendency measure, while the qualitative data of the interview transcripts are analyzed using the interpretational analysis technique. The final product of this study is a set of English materials entitled SMILE, Smart with Multiple Intelligences in Learning English. It consists of four units. They are Sit down, please, Can I Have a Pen?, I Like Apples, and I Eat a Plate of Fried Rice. Each unit is developed into three main task stages: 1) Let’s Go, 2) Let’s Practice, and 3) Let’s Have Fun. Since the designed materials have followed the proper steps of material design and have met the students’ profiles of multiple intelligences, thus, they are perceived to have fulfilled the circumstance of being appropriate. The characteristics of the appropriate English materials are (1) M-I based, i.e. considering the students’ multiple intelligences development, (2) authentic, i.e. offering the students the real-life contexts of learning, (3) fun, i.e. presenting the students with an enjoyable learning experience, (4) interactive, i.e. involving the students’ active participation, and (5) various, i.e. providing rich features of the language, tasks, activities, and media. In summary, the currently designed materials are appropriate since they accommodate the students’ learning and provide space for their multiple intelligences development.
