The aims of the research are to develop appropriate genre-based writing materials and to find out the appropriateness of the genre-based writing materials for the eighth grade students of SMP N 3 Imogiri. This is a research and development (R&D) study. This research adapted the model proposed by Branch (2009) consisting of conducting preliminary observation, conducting needs analysis, designing the course grid, developing the first draft of the materials, getting expert judgment, product testing, revising, final implementation, material evaluation, and developing the final product of the materials. The subject of this research were the eighth grade students of SMP N 3 Imogiri. The data were collected using questionnaires and interview guidelines. There were three kinds of questionnaires in this research. The first was needs analysis questionnaire to gather information about the students’ needs. The second was expert judgment questionnaire to obtain the data about the appropriateness of the materials. The third was the materials evaluation questionnaire to identify the appropriateness of the developed materials. The descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data from those questionnaires. The data collected from the interview were analyzed by using descriptive qualitative. The result of this research is three units of genre-based writing materials about descriptive text, recount text, and narrative text. Each unit has three main parts: introduction, main lessons, and reinforcement. The research findings reveal that the developed writing materials are categorized into “Very Good” based on the analysis of the data from the expert. The mean score of all aspects in term appropriateness of the content, language, presentation, and graphic of the three developed units is 3.65 which is in the range of 3.53 ≤ x ≤ 4. Besides, the result of the material evaluation questionnaire which was distributed to the students also shows that the writing materials are in “Very Good” category in terms of content, graphic, and the students’ response to the use of materials in the learning process with an average score 3.69. Therefore, the developed materials are feasible and appropriate to use in teaching and learning process.
