DEVELOPING DIGITAL – BASED LISTENING MATERIALS FOR TENTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMA NEGERI 1 BANGLI

ABSTARCT

The objectives of this research were: (1) to describe the materials that needed to be developed for the digital-based listening materials for tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Bangli, (2) to explain the development steps of the digital-based listening materials for tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Bangli, and (3) to describe the students’ perception of the developed digital-based listening materials for tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Bangli. This was a research and development (R & D) study. The subjects were class X MIPA 1 & X MIPA 2 of SMA Negeri 1 Bangli that consisted of 67 students. The research procedure followed the ADDIE model design proposed by Branch (2009) with some modifications. The steps were analysing the students’ needs and curriculum analysis, designing the blueprint, developing the first draft of the digital-based listening materials, evaluating the first draft by the experts and revising it based on the feedback obtained from the evaluation, then implement the second draft to the students, evaluating the second draft by the user and revising it and transform it into the final product of the digital- based listening materials. The instruments to collect the data were the needs analysis questionnaire, expert and user judgement rating scale. The data from the needs analysis were analysed quantitatively using frequency and percentage and the quantitative data that obtained from the experts and user judgement were analysed through descriptive statistics. This research developed digital-based listening materials based on the results of the needs analysis. The product of this research was English listening materials that packed in the form of Google Form that consist of four materials namely: Congratulating and Complimenting, Announcement, Simple Past Tense and Present Perfect Tense, and Songs. The digital-based listening materials consisted of three main parts: home screen or pre-listening, main materials or whilst-listening, and exercise or post-listening. The features in the Google Form also could give direct feedback for the user, so they could find their score and progress after finishing the exercise. The research findings showed that the developed digital-based listening materials was appropriate and met the students’ needs. The mean scores for the content and design aspects in experts’ judgement were 3,9 which is categorized as “very good” and the mean scores in the users’ judgement for the content and design were 3,6 and students’ perception were 3,75. which is categorized as “very good”.
