Also, the learners wanted to carry out the tasks/activity by both individual work and group discussions.
3. Learning Materials
A good learning material should consider the appropriate of content, language, and material presentation. The conclusion of the learning materials was presented in below:
a) The content in learning materials
1) The learning materials are made based on learner’s core competency curriculum K-13 and learner’s interest.
144 3) The learning materials provide tasks which persuaded the learners’ interaction and participation in teaching learning process in individual work or group work.
4) The learning material assists the learners to distinguish their success and failure after the learning process.
b) The language in learning materials
1) The learning materials encourage the learners to use target language (English) by pronounce the words correctly.
2) The learning materials language is presented simple and understandable by the learners.
3) The learning materials have clear instruction to help the learners to fulfill all of the tasks.
4) The learning materials contains grammar exercise and vocabulary corner at an exact level of high school learners.
c) The material presentation
1) The learning materials parts are divided into 7 section i.e Introduction of Unit, Brainstorming, Building context, Lead in, Main Activities, Exercise, Assignment, and Reflection.
2) There are 3 learning activities to accommodate learners learning style for each parts of learning materials.
3) The learning materials are included interesting videos, audio the songs, and colorful pictures to attract the learner attention to learn English.
145 B. Implication
Based on the results, the materials are appropriate for Grade X Science 5 SMA Negeri 1 Nganjuk. According to the result, the materials can help the learners to write recount and narrative text better. The results show that the principles of writing process and the approach in teaching writing which are used in this research were successful in outcome by using the principles of writing process was suggested by Harmer (2007). The learners can write the text by using their different perceptive and using mind-mapping in connecting what they read into their writing.
