1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of the Study
Indonesia has various schools for every level. There are general school and Islamic school. For every level, general schools are divided into elementary schools, junior high schools, senior high schools, vocational school. Meanwhile religion school especially in Islamic schools, there are madrasah ibtidaiyah(elementary school), madrasah tsanawiyah(junior high school), and
madrasah aliyah(senior high school). Based on the passing of the 1989 law on
National Education (Law no.2 1989) madrasahs at all three levels were given equal status with general school. This means that Islamic school applied the national curriculum determined by Ministry of National Education (MoNE) for general subjects, in addition to be more intensive course of religious studies set by Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA).
2
students must learn the general subject like mathematics, English, science, social science, and so on.
Islamic junior high school becomes a school that has significant percentage of Indonesia’s youth. Based on information available of Depdiknas statistics states that Islamic junior high school educates 16 percent of 13-15 year old (2,129,564 students of a total 13,401,499). It seems big total from the developing of students there. It means that Islamic Junior high school give education contribution in a big scale of existing total students in Indonesia.
The teachers in Islamic junior high school taught general subjects and Islamic subjects. Students learn more knowledge based the existing curriculum with many subjects like English, mathematics, natural science, social science, civic, and another general subject and they also learn Arabian language, aqidah akhlak, quran and hadith, Islamic history, fiqh and so on. General subjects like English has many times in a week especially at MTsN 2 Medan. It can be shown from the previous interviewed with English teacher at MTsN 2 Medan; they learned English six hours a week meanwhile the Islamic lesson just two hours a week. It means that English was important for the students and the school realized it by giving the time for English lesson was more than Islamic subjects.
3
teacher used English Passport to the world grade VIII of Junior high school. In contrary, incompatibility teaching material made the students bored, furthermore if the students were forced to read a reading narrative text that was strange for the students. In this condition, the teaching material should be appropriated with Islamic school so it could help the students understand the material.
From the condition the researcher saw that the teachers need another teaching material that can help them to teach their student which is designed appropriate for students need. Khoirul and Johanes (2013:7) conducted a study about developing supplementary materials of genre-based reading for students’ second grade at SMP 4 Malang and found that the picture in the text
was not well-designed and develop the picture that is suitable for students at SMP 4 Malang. Susanti (2015:19) conducted a study about developing materials of English textbook and found that the material development can be used by the students despite there was already existed material.
Those studies indicated that the material development is needed to support the existing material becomes appropriating material especially on narrative text. It can be a picture design, appropriate text and exercise in a text.
