Abstract


The objectives of this research were: (1) to describe the target needs of grade XI students of Patisserie Study Programme; (2) to describe the learning needs of grade XI students of Patisserie Study Programme; and (3) to develop appropriate English learning materials for grade XI students of Patisserie Study Programme. This study was a Research and Development (R & D) study. The subjects of this study were grade XI students of Patisserie Study Programme at SMK Negeri 1 Sewon, the English teacher, and a material development expert. The steps of this study were adapted from Jolly and Bolitho (1998)’s steps which were conducting the needs analysis, developing the course grid, developing the first draft of the materials, evaluating the materials or conducting expert judgment, and writing the final draft of the materials. The data was collected through distributing questionnaire and interviewing both the English teacher and the students. Two types of questionnaires were used to collect data. The first questionnaire was made to obtain the data for the needs analysis while the second questionnaire was used to obtain the data for materials evaluation through the expert judgment questionnaire. The data for both questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics. The data from the interviews was analyzed qualitatively using the data analysis model proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994). The products of the research were three units of English learning materials. Each unit reflected the Content-Based Instruction (CBI) and scientific approach. The topics were related to patisserie field and daily life. The tasks were varied, from individual tasks to small group tasks. Based on the results of expert judgement, the developed materials were considered appropriate. The mean score of all aspects of the developed materials was 3.82 and was categorised as “Very Good”.
