The aims of the study are: to identify the target needs of the students of the third semester students of hotel accommodation department at STP AMPTA; to identify the learning needs of the students of the third semester students of hotel accommodation department at STP AMPTA; and to develop the appropriate speaking materials for the students of the third semester students of hotel accommodation department at STP AMPTA. This is a Research and Development (R&D) study. This study adapted the R&D model proposed by Tomlinson (1998). The researcher modified the models to be used in this research through the following steps: conducting preliminary- observation, formulating the questionnaire, conducting need analysis, designing the course grid, developing the first draft of the materials, revising and getting expert judgment, trying-out, revising, implementing the materials and developing the final draft of the materials. The subject of this study were the third semester students of hotel accommodation department at STP AMPTA. The instrument in this research were questionnaires, observation sheets and interview guidelines. There were two questionnaires in this research. The need analysis questionnaire was used to obtain information about the students’ needs. The expert judgment questionnaire was used to obtain the judgment about the appropriateness of the materials. The data obtained from need analysis and expert judgment were analyzed qualitatively and statistically. This research reveals as follows. (1) The target needs were classified into necessities, lacks and wants. The necessities were the needs of the skill and language focus. The lacks were due to the level of the English proficiency and the students’ difficulties in learning English tenses. The wants were about the students’ ability to speak English fluently by using some expressions usually used in hotel. (2) The learning needs consist of learning input, activities, students’ role, teachers’ role and setting. Considering the students’ learning needs, this study develops three units speaking materials: ‘telephone reservation’, ‘Room Service’ and ‘Check-in and Check-out Process’. Each units have three main parts: introduction (unit title and learning objectives), main lesson (Let’s Start, Let’s Practice and Let’s Study) and reinforcement (Let’s Get More Practice). (3) The validation result from material expert show that the developed speaking material is very good in terms of content appropriateness, presentation appropriateness, language appropriateness and lay out appropriateness with an average score of 3.64 (very good) on unit 1, 3.60 (very good) on unit 2, 3.59 (very good) on unit 3. The mean score of all aspects of the three developed units in the scale of 1-4, is 3.61 which is in the range of 3.53 ≤ x ≤ 4 and can be categorized as “Very Good”. Therefore, the developed materials are feasible and appropriate to use in teaching and learning process.
