ABSTRACT

Tanasale, Inggrit. 2007. Designing a Set of Instructional Speaking Materials Using Contextual Teaching and Learning for the Second Grade of Language Program in SMA Stella Duce 1. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University.

Speaking is a life skill that should be equipped for the students who are prepared to involve in society. Thus, schools should provide the learning situation which makes the students not only learn the subject matter but also learn to be aware of the real context particularly the issues in society such as social, personal, economic, cultural, or political issues covered in teaching learning activities. It leads the students to develop their own critical and creative thinking to solve the problems found.

The writer then, designed the speaking materials using Contextual Teaching and Learning, since this method focuses on integrating material content to real context in order to help the students directly connect and apply their competence in their everyday life. This study dealt with designing a set of instructional speaking materials using Contextual Teaching and Learning for the second grade of language program in SMA Stella Duce 1. There were two problems discussed in this study. They were: 1) How is a set of instructional speaking materials using Contextual Teaching and Learning for the second grade of language program at senior high school designed to improve students’ speaking skill? And 2) What will the designed set of materials look like?

To answer the first problem, the writer conducted the research to provide information so as to develop and validate product for school. The writer adapted Educational Research and Development as a research method. The steps of Educational Research and Development employed are: Research and information collection in the form of needs survey, Planning, Preliminary form of product development, Preliminary field testing in the form of feedback gathering, and Main product revision.

Besides, the writer carried out three main steps to design a set of instructional materials. The steps of the instructional design were chosen by modifying and adapting Newby’s and Yalden’s models. The steps consisted of: 1) Conducting needs survey, 2) Developing the instructional materials, and 3) Evaluating the designed set of materials. In the step of developing the instructional materials, the writer conducted six phases. The phases are: a) Considering the purpose of the course, b) Specifying the learning objectives, c) Developing task-based syllabus, d) Selecting the learning method in classroom, e) Producing pedagogical syllabus, and f) Selecting teaching and learning activities.

In order to present the final version of the designed materials as the answer for number two, the writer distributed questionnaire and the original version of the designed materials to the respondents as the preliminary field testing. The purpose of the questionnaire was to gain feedback from the respondents. The result of the evaluation was in the form of agreement points. The result of statistical data showed that the overall mean was 3,86 out of the scale of 5. It means that most of the respondents considered the designed materials were generally acceptable, yet it still

(2)

needed some revisions to make it better. After doing the revision based on the feedback gathering input, the writer concluded that the final version of the designed materials was well appropriate for the second grade of language program in SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta. The final version of designed materials contains eight units. Each of them consisted of six parts, namely: Set Your Goals, Burn Up, Win-win Solution, Get the Big Picture, Grasp the Meaning, and Have a Good Time

As a final point, this study is expected to bring contribution as the alternative method to enhance teaching speaking in classroom as well as to develop teacher’s creativity to make it work.

Tanasale, Inggrit. 2007. Designing a Set of Instructional Speaking Materials Using Contextual Teaching and Learning for the Second Grade of Language Program in SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta.Yogyakarta: Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Universitas Sanata Dharma

Berbicara adalah ketrampilan hidup yang perlu diperlengkapi kepada siswa ketika mereka dipersiapkan untuk terlibat dalam masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, sekolah harus menyediakan situasi belajar yang tidak hanya membuat siswa belajar pelajaran semata tapi juga belajar untuk peka terhadap konteks realita terkhusus isu-isu dalam masyarakat seperti isu-isu-isu-isu sosial, perseorangan, budaya ataupun politik yang dibungkus dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar. Hal ini mengarahkan siswa untuk mengembangkan pemikiran kritis mereka untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang mereka temukan.

Penulis kemudian merancang materi-materi berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris menggunakan Contextual Teaching and Learning. Penulis memilih metode ini karena metode ini berfokus pada integrasi isi materi dengan konteks realita dalam rangka membantu siswa secara langsung menghubungkan dan mengaplikasikan kompetensi mereka dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.Tujuan dari dilaksanakannya studi ini adalah untuk membuat seperangkat materi berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan metode Contextual Teaching dan Learning bagi siswa kelas dua program Bahasa di SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta dalam desain instruksional. Ada dua permasalahan yang dibahas dalam studi ini. Permasalahan tersebut adalah: 1) Bagaimana seperangkat materi pembelajaran berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan metode Contextual Teaching dan Learning bagi siswa kelas dua program Bahasa di SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta dalam desain instruksional disusun. Dan 2) Seperti apakah susunan materi-materi pembelajaran itu?

Untuk menjawab masalah pertama, penulis melaksanakan penelitian untuk memperoleh informasi guna mengembangkan dan mensahkan produk untuk sekolah. Penulis mengadaptasi metode Pengembangan dan Penelitian Pendidikan sebagai metode penelitian. Langkah-langkah metode tersebut antara lain: Penelitian dan pengumpulan informasi dalam bentuk penelitian kebutuhan, Perencanaan, Bentuk awal dari pengembangan produk, Tes awal lapangan dalam bentuk pengumpulan umpan balik dan Revisi produk.

Selaim itu, penulis melaksanakan tiga langkah untuk merancang seperangkat materi dalam desain instruksional. Langkah-langkah tersebut dipilih berdasarkan hasil modifikasi model rancangan Yalden dan Newby. Langkah-langkah rancangan instruksional tersebut terdiri dari: 1) Melaksanakan penelitian kebutuhan, 2) Mengembangkan materi instruksional, dan 3) Mengevaluasi materi yang sudah disusun. Dalam langkah kedua yaitu mengembangkan materi instruksional, penulis melaksanakan enam tahap pengembangan materi. Tahap-tahap tersebut antara lain: a) Menentukan tujuan dari program, b) Menentukan tujuan khusus pembelajaran, c) Mengembangkan silabus berbasis tugas, d) Memilih metode pembelajaran di kelas, e) Menghasilkan silbus pedagogis, dan f) Memilih kegiatan belajar mengajar.

Dalam rangka menyajikan bentuk akhir dari materi pembelajaran sebagai jawaban atas masalah kedua, maka penulis mendistribusikan kuesioner beserta dengan bentuk asli dari materi yang dibuat kepada responden. Tujuan dari kuesioner ini adalah untuk memperoleh umpan balik dari responden. Hasil dari evaluasi tersebut diperoleh dalam bentuk poin persetujuan. Hasil data statistik menunjukan bahwa nilai rata-rata yang diperoleh adalah 3,86 dari skala 5. Hal ini berarti bahwa sebagian besar responden menganggap bahwa materi ini layak diterima untuk dipakai. Akan tetapi materi ini masih perlu direvisi untuk menjadikannya lebih baik. Setelah melakukan revisi berdasarkan masukan dari proses pengumpulan umpan balik, maka penulis menyimpulkan bahwa bentuk akhir dari materi ini layak digunakan bagi siswa kelas dua program bahasa di SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta. Bentuk akhir materi yang dirancang mencakup delapan unit. Setiap unit terdiri dari enam bagian, dengan nama: Set Your Goals, Burn Up, Win-win Solution, Get the Big Picture, Grasp the Meaning, and Have a Good Time.

Sebagai penutup, materi ini diharapkan dapat memberi kontribusi untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa dalam bahasa Inggris di kelas seperti juga mengembangkan kreatifitas guru untuk membuat materi ini berhasil di kelas.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

This chapter essentially contains the background, the problem identification,

the problem limitation, the problem formulation, the research objective, the research

benefits, and the definition of terms.

A. Background

Education plays an important role to ensure the existence of our nation’s life.

In fact, it has a great responsibility to prepare and shape well-educated and

professional graduates in our country. Education will equip them with life skill to be

creative, adaptive, and communicative in facing their life’s problem and challenge in

the development of human civilization. It means that education not only provides

knowledge but also life skill for graduates to think and adapt in accord with the

demand of society.

To produce skillful graduates, education should serve the curriculum that

supports schools to focus on the achievement of competencies. Competence means

an ability that scopes knowledge, skill, and behavior. The curriculum that

emphasizes on the achievement of students’ competence is Competence-Based

Curriculum. According to Nurhadi, the Competence-Based Curriculum stresses on

shaping the competent graduates who are able to apply their knowledge in real life in

order to solve the problem and fulfill their daily needs (2004: 56).

Besides providing the curriculum, education also gives widely chance for the

students to develop themselves with specific ability in certain field. From the level of

(24)

the second grade of senior high school, the students are already divided into three

specific major programs. Those programs are science program (IPA), social program

(IPS), and language program (Bahasa). The students can choose the program that

they are interested to compile with their capability in learning the subjects in that

program.

There is an assumption that the language program is lesser favorite than the

other program in senior high school. It is obviously can be predicted from the few

number of language program classes than the other programs’ classes. The students

consider that the science and social program give much chance to develop their

knowledge in many fields than the language program. The consideration is due to the

belief that in the language program students will only spend much time to learn some

compulsory languages without any chance to learn more about another field.

Nevertheless, learning a language is as much important as learning the other

field. Language is really needed as the media in communication. Language is used to

exchange information and express one’s thoughts, ideas, and feelings in order to

solve the problems in society. Besides our first language Indonesian, English is one

of the foreign languages that are widely used for communication in commerce,

politics technology, and education. English becomes a compulsory subject taught in

school from the level of kindergarten to college. The students are demanded to

master English as active and passive participants to get involved in communication.

Learning English contains four skills; they are listening, speaking, reading,

and writing which are supported by learning pronunciation, spelling, vocabularies,

and grammar. When the speaker learns all those aspects of English, their competence

(25)

Wardhaugh (1986: 3), competence refers to what the speaker knows about language;

while performance refers to what the speaker does with language. Being active in

communication, the students should not only be competent in language but also be

able to perform a language. The most obvious way to perform language is by

speaking, since it can convey the competence of the speaker in language. Yet, it is

not easy to speak English because it happens in real time when the speaker faces

another speaker. It also happens naturally, so, the speaker cannot easily correct or

revise what he wishes to say. Thus, the English teacher is challenged to teach the

students not only are able to be competent in language but also are able to perform it

in communication.

When teaching speaking particularly different foreign language like English

in school, the teacher sometimes meets many various kinds of problems in learning.

One of the problems that can arise is when the students are unwilling to take a risk

because they feel that they are unable to speak. Lack of basic linguistic competence

in English makes them feel that they cannot say even any sentence in English.

Another problem occurs when the students are unconfident because the fear of

making mistakes or errors in front of their peers. Dealing with some of these

problems, the teacher should realize at all the times that the students need to feel safe

and comfortable to learn English, which can trigger their courage to speak up.

To enhance students’ communicative skill, Competence-Based Curriculum

gives opportunity for the teacher to develop his or her own teaching and learning

activities. Yet, Competence-Based Curriculum does not provide particular

handbooks or materials to teach speaking or other skills. Competence-Based

(26)

Accordingly, it becomes a challenge for the teacher to be aware of students’ needs in

accordance with the society demands for the professional and competent graduates.

In practice, they have to be creative in providing materials which meet the goals of

Competence-Based Curriculum. This approach is to be accommodated effectively by

the method applied in classroom.

For the success of Competence-Based Curriculum implementation, the

method of learning that has been chosen should be compatible with the goal of

Competence-Based Curriculum which equips students with the competencies to

survive in real life (Mulyasa, 2002: 136). One of the methods recently found, that has

been successfully used in United State and Japan schools is Contextual Teaching and

Learning. This method utilizes students’ background and environment as the most

significant factors in the process of learning new knowledge. This method focuses on

integrating material content to real context by connecting with the students’ previous

experience. In other words, the students will not solely learn the subject matter.

Rather, the students will learn to be aware of real context particularly the issues in

society such as social, cultural, political, economic, or personal issues covered in

teaching learning activities to develop their own critical thinking to cope with the

problems found.

SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta is one of the schools that have been using

Competence-Based Curriculum since a year ago. It facilitates the English teachers to

develop their own materials and method to teach English. Based on the primary

observation in SMA Stella Duce 1, particularly in second grade of language program,

it is found that the English teachers in SMA Stella Duce 1 have already taught class

(27)

related to social and personal issues. Furthermore, cooperative learning and

problem-based learning have served as the learning strategies in classroom, which are, the

elements of Contextual Teaching and Learning.

Thus, in this study the writer is to design a set of instructional speaking

materials using Contextual Teaching and Learning, which can assist the teacher

particularly in SMA Stella Duce 1 in teaching English particularly speaking skill.

B. Problem Identification

According to the observation of some English text books of language

program, the writer found that although the English teachers teach the integrated

skills, however, their teaching are mainly stressed on reading skill. The students are

exploited with many reading texts regarding the assumption that they are already

able to produce spoken language since they were in junior high school. Rather, they

are expected to be able to produce written language in senior high school. Whereas in

fact, the students in the second grade of language program in SMA Stella Duce 1

have a difficult time to speak in English. Lack of confidence and fear of making

mistakes are some of the factors that make them unwilling to speak English. The

English teacher has to spend much time to persuade the students to express their

language in the form of speaking.

C. Problem Limitation

This study concerns on the designing a set of instructional materials for

teaching speaking using Contextual Teaching and Learning for the second grade of

(28)

study on the second grade of language program since the students are considered

being experienced and having a higher level of language proficiency compared to the

other programs in that level. The graduates from the language program are expected

to fulfill the society demand as professional workers who are equipped with one of

communication skills such as English competence.

The writer narrows the study into developing speaking skill without any

purpose to ignore three other skills. Rather, the writer focuses on speaking as the

core of learning which is supported by other skills. So, the design materials will

cover all four skills.

Competence-Based Curriculum is to be employed as a framework since SMA

Stella Duce 1 has used that curriculum in school. The writer will limit the discussion

of approaches in Contextual Teaching and Learning into Problem-Based Learning

and Cooperative Learning. The reason is the writer already discovered in needs

survey that cooperative learning and problem-based learning are the strategies that

have been applied in SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta.

Designing the materials for SMA Stella Duce 1, however, the writer does not

implement these materials since SMA Stella Duce 1 is really strict in their teaching

program to prepare the students for semester exam. Therefore, the writer only

develops and presents the speaking materials and gives chance for the teacher to

implement it.

D. Problem Formulation

Referring to the background and problem limitation above, the writer

(29)

1. How is a set of instructional speaking materials using Contextual Teaching

and Learning for the second grade of language program in SMA Stella Duce

1 designed to improve students’ speaking skill?

2. What will the designed set of materials look like?

E. Research Objectives

Based on problem formulation above, the writer formulated two objectives

into the following statements:

1. To find out how a set of instructional speaking materials using Contextual

Teaching and Learning for the second year of language program at senior

high school is designed.

2. To present a set of instructional speaking materials using Contextual

Teaching and Learning for the second year of language program at senior

high school.

F. Research Benefits

By doing this study, the writer expects to produce designed materials which

can be used to enhance students speaking skill. The result of the study is expected to

bring input for the English teachers and future researchers in Indonesia. This study

will open important options for the teacher to learn the method in depth and be a

creative facilitator in developing and applying materials, in which takes students

previous background and contextual condition into consideration. Moreover, the

future researchers can use the topic to develop the further studies for developing

(30)

as to enrich our education as well as inventing new kinds of Contextual Teaching and

Learning concept which can work in our education.

G. Definitions of Terms 1. Design

Design is defined as the general arrangement or planning a new set of materials

to guide educational activity in a situation (Houle, 1978: 230). Adopting this

meaning, the writer elaborates the word “design” as a plan how a set of

instructional speaking materials using Contextual Teaching and Learning for the

second grade of language program at senior high school will look like.

2. Instructional Materials

Instructional materials refer to any materials which are specifically written for the

teachers, instructors and students to achieve the objectives (Dick & Carey, 1937:

127). In this study the writer employs Contextual Teaching and Learning to

develop a set of instructional speaking materials which will be used by the

English teachers in the second grade of senior high school.

3. Speaking

According to Nunan (1991: 43), speaking consists of producing systematic

verbal utterance to convey meaning. In this study, learning speaking is integrated

into Contextual Teaching and Learning. It means that learning speaking is not

only learning the expression but also learning to connect the expression with the

daily context. The students are expected to understand the meaning of language

and its use in the context of daily life and to be able to express it in

(31)

4. Contextual Teaching and Learning

Contextual Teaching and Learning is a concept of learning method that helps the

teacher to teach subject matter by placing it in the real context and relating to

students’ previous experience(Nurhadi, 2004: 103). In this study, the writer uses

Contextual Teaching and Learning as a method to teach speaking skill with the

topics taken from real life condition. Henceforth, in this study, Contextual

Teaching and Learning is abbreviated as CTL.

5. Students of Senior High School

Senior high school is a continuation of the education development from junior

high school. This level of education should be finished in three years. The

students are those whose ages about 15-19 years old. Students in senior high

school are assumed as continuing learner of English. They learn English from

elementary to junior high school; so that in senior high school they are expected

to attain informational level of literacy; which means they can access knowledge

using their language.

6. The second Grade of SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta

SMA Stella Duce 1 is located in Jl. Sabirin 1-3 Yogyakarta. Based on statistical

data 2006 for the second year, SMA Stella duce 1 has eleven classes. There are

five classes of science program, five classes of social program, and one class of

language program.

7. The Second Grade of Language Program

In the language program, the students are to learn English, Arabian language, and

Indonesian language as compulsory subjects. They can choose German or

(32)

Religion, Anthropology, and Food Science. In the language program, the students

obtain nine hours for learning English, six hours for learning general English

course and three hours for learning English literature course. In general English,

teaching English focuses on learning skills and elements of language. Meanwhile

in literature, the students will learn anything related to literature includes poetry,

(33)

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the pertinent theories which become the foundation to

construct the materials. The discussion will be divided into theoretical description

and theoretical framework. The theoretical description provides the theories of

speaking and its elements in teaching, communicative competence, Contextual

Teaching and Learning, Competence-Based Curriculum, instructional materials,

material design model, the task-based syllabus design, and design models of Yalden

and Newby. The theoretical framework describes the steps of designing model

adapted from Yalden’s and Newby’s model.

A. THEORETICAL DESCRIPTION

This section discusses all theories related to the instructional design. The

theories include the theories of speaking and its elements, communicative

competence, Contextual Teaching and Learning, and Competence-Based

Curriculum. In addition, the writer also provides some theories that are relevant to

construct the materials. Those theories are instructional materials, design models, and

task-based syllabus. As a framework that contains steps of doing research, the writer

combined design models of Yalden and Newby.

All the theories provides information about the significance of developing the

speaking materials using Contextual Teaching and Learning for the students in the

second grade of language program at senior high school particularly in SMA Stella

Duce 1 Yogyakarta.

(34)

1. Speaking

In this study, the writer will design a set of instructional speaking materials

which employs CTL as a learning method. Therefore, the writer needs to study

further about the theories of speaking and its elements so as to develop the proper

speaking materials that can be useful in teaching and learning speaking.

a. The Nature of Speaking

Speaking is physically situated in face-to-face interaction. The speaker can

see each other and interact through the form of verbal exchange considering the

physical context (Widdowson, 1978: 58). It means that the speaker and the listener

are supposed to take the same place when they want to communicate, which helps

them to understand each other. The information then may be successfully delivered

to the listener. However, speaking can still exist such as communication on the

phone, although the speaker does not meet other speaker. They can understand each

other as long as their communication is in the same topic.

Richards and Rodgers (1999: 48) point out that speaking is always formed in

real time, in which the speaker would speak right away without having any time to

carefully edit and revise it; while the listener is waiting for him or her. It means that

once the speaker gets involved in speaking, he has to prepare to do many things all

together at that moment. The speaker has to be able to understand, think, and say for

unexpected or even predicted topic in the communication.

Here, it is clearly explained that speaking is a natural process. It means that

the speaker produces speaking naturally in real time but it can be understood by

(35)

particularly a foreign language that we, as native speakers, are not really familiar

with. Instead of worrying about it, the participants still have the chance to master

speaking skill as long as the participants do some efforts to sharpen their knowledge

of communication and practice in the situation as well.

b. Teaching Speaking

According to Rivers (1968: 160), in teaching speaking, the teacher is

supposed to create conducive situation. In the conducive situation, the teacher can

persuade the students to use the language using their own meaning entitled to the

limits of what they have learned. Rivers also suggests that the teacher should not wait

until the students feel confident to perform the language. In a sense, the teacher

should actively encourage and accustom the students to apply what they have learned

in an act of communication in natural interaction between their friends. As a

consequence, the students are to be motivated to practice their foreign language

exclusively and be familiar with various situational contexts.

c. Activities in Teaching Speaking

A lot of effort has gone into motivating the students to speak; the teacher

could design some stimulating activities to provoke spoken communication in

classroom. Harner (1991: 122) suggests some activities to build the communicative

condition for the students to speak. Those activities are:

1) Information Gap; The students are put into a situation in which they have to share

the information using the target language because one person has information and

(36)

2) Role-plays; The students get a particular role where they have to play it in certain

condition by using the target language.

3) Simulation; The students play a role in a simulated environment like in the real

world.

4) Discussion; The students express their idea or opinion in some issues.

5) Problem Solving Task; The students talk together to find a solution to a problem

or task.

The writer develops those activities in learning task and games and integrates those

activities to some issues in society so as to promote the students to speak in those

activities without finding themselves reluctant to do so.

d. Successful Activity for Teaching Speaking

When the students are willing to speak a lot in the target language with the

teacher or other friends, the students should take some steps to succeed in acquiring

speaking skill. According to Davies (1988), there are four characteristics of

successful speaking activity. Firstly, the students have the chance to talk as much as

possible in the limited time given. Secondly, all the students should participate

actively in speaking without any unfairly domination by talkative the students.

Thirdly, the interesting and new topic will be conveyed in learning speaking, to draw

students’ attention and interest to speak. Fourthly, the level of relevancy, accuracy,

and comprehension are required in for the effectiveness of speaking. These steps

could be accommodated effectively if there is a good relationship and cooperation

between the teacher and the students. The teacher becomes the facilitator for the

(37)

2. Communicative Competence

To act as the participants in communication, the students are directed to learn

speaking and master language competence model instead. One of the language

competence models developed by Hymes as quoted by Hall (2001: 12) is called

Communicative Competence. In this competence, the individual develops the

competence to use language effectively in speech community by engaging with his

or her prior knowledge of social conditions including setting, participants, and goals

of communication.

There are some components of communicative competence in second or

foreign language learning suggested by Murcia et al. as cited by Hall (2001: 14). The

first component is the ability of knowing, sequencing, and arranging words,

structures, sentences, and utterances to produce cohesive and coherent texts called

Discourse Competence. The second component is the ability of interpreting and

constructing grammatically correct texts and utterances using basic elements of

linguistic system called Linguistic Competence. The third component is the ability of

interpreting and producing direct and indirect speech act called Actional

Competence. The fourth component is the knowledge of encountering breakdowns in

communication by requesting clarification or rephrasing called Strategic

Competence. And the last one is the ability of understanding and contributing in

communicative activity called Sociocultural Competence

Those components above show correlations that complete each other. Murcia

also adds that discourse competence is the main core in communication. The

discourse of communication can be developed when the participants consider the

(38)

realize some competences underlies such as linguistic competence, actional

competence, sociocultural competence, and strategic competence. English can be

taught successfully to the students, when all of the competences are taken into

account. These components of communicative competence model will form the

foundation of learning objectives to which the instructional speaking activities for the

students of second grade of language program at senior high school are oriented.

3. Contextual Teaching and Learning

In developing the instructional speaking materials for the second grade of

language program at senior high school, the writer used CTL as a method to facilitate

learning in order to achieve the objective of the course. Therefore, the writer has to

learn the content and features of CTL in depth in order to develop the materials

which have the relevance to the theories of CTL.

a. Foundation of Contextual Teaching and Learning

Contextual Teaching and Learning builds upon bodies of the theory in

constructivism era. According to Zahorik as quoted by Nurhadi, Yasin, and Senduk

(2004: 9), knowledge can be constructed when people bring meaning to their

experience. Since people constantly undergo new experience, therefore knowledge is

always dynamic. Through time, knowledge is developing as well as people are

developing. When people construct knowledge regarding their previous experience,

they have already learned something. The students then are expected to construct

their knowledge based on their experience in learning. The knowledge can help the

(39)

Another theory comes from the father of progressivism era, John Dewey. As

quoted by Kohonen, Jaatinen, Kaikkonen, and Lehtovaara (2001: 24), Dewey

explains that learning can be supported by concrete environment. It appears that the

students are able to construct their own knowledge by testing ideas based on their

prior knowledge and experience, applying the ideas to new situations, and integrating

the new knowledge. Hence, the students become active participants in problem

solving and critical thinking regarding constructing knowledge through the activities

in learning which are relevant to their prior knowledge.

Those theories above become the basis for developing the CTL method. CTL

provides the situation or problems as if in the real world covered in issues taken from

society that serve students’ learning experience by developing their critical thinking

to solve the problem.

b. Meaning of Contextual Teaching and Learning

Contextual Teaching and Learning is a learning approach that integrates

academic content with situations or issues that are meaningful to the students. As

Johnson says, as quoted by Nurhadi et.al, that

Contextual Teaching and Learning is a conception of teaching and learning that helps the teacher relates subject matter content to real world situations and motivates the students to make connections between knowledge and its application to their lives as family members, citizens, and workers and engage in the hard work that learning requires. (2004:12)

Apparently, CTL helps the students to construct the knowledge and own

understanding in mind by engaging with their previous experiences and leads the

students to learn by experiencing the learning in created situations like in real life.

(40)

learning process, the students are to develop their own critical thinking and creativity

to solve the problems found in society. During the involvement in that experience,

the students will understand the meaning and the importance of that learning by

understanding how to use their knowledge in real life which is associated with their

roles and responsibilities as family members, citizens, students, and workers.

c. Strategies of Contextual Teaching and Learning

According to Centre of Occupational Research and Development at the

University of Wisconsin-Madison as cited by Nurhadi et.al (2004: 23), CTL should

be structured by five essential forms of learning strategy. Firstly, learning must relate

those everyday situations to new information to be absorbed or a problem to be

solved. Secondly, learning stresses on experiencing through exploration, discovery,

and invention. Thirdly, learning takes place when the knowledge is presented in a

useful context. Fourthly, learning occurs in the context of sharing, responding, and

communicating with other learners. Fifthly, learning occurs when the students try to

develop their own knowledge by connecting existing and new knowledge. In this

language instruction using CTL model, the students are required to fulfill these five

essential forms of learning to gain meaningful learning in class and make them as

self-regulated learners. In order to design the effective CTL materials, those five

essential forms of learning will be taken into consideration.

d. Approaches for Implementing Contextual Teaching and Learning

To implement CTL in teaching and learning activities in classroom, some

(41)

speaking activities in classroom. According to Berns and Erickson as quoted by

Nurhadi et al. (2004: 19), there are some approaches of Contextual Teaching and

Learning as follows:

1) Problem-Based Learning

Problem-based learning is an approach characterized by the use of “real

world” problems. The problems are employed as a context for the students to learn

critical thinking and problem solving skills by providing some ideas or opinions as

the alternative solutions for solving the problems. The students will gather the

information around a question, discuss, and analyze it. After that, they will present

findings to others. The teacher will role as a facilitator, who provides problem, asks

questions, and facilitates investigation or dialogue.

a) Characteristics of Problem-Based Learning

There are four characteristics of problem-based learning. Firstly, it focuses on

asking questions related to the problem raised. Secondly, it focuses on the

interdisciplinary of context such as social, economic, political, cultural, and personal

context. Thirdly, the student will conduct authentic investigation for the problems.

Fourthly, the student will develop the result and present it to the classroom. Those

characteristics should be covered in problem-based learning.

b) The Purpose of Problem-Based Learning

Problem-based learning is designed to help the students develop three main

skills. Thinking and solving the problem are the first skill to be developed in problem

(42)

analyzing and synthesizing the problems. Afterwards, they will interpret their

thinking in terms of solution to the problems. Modeling the role of adult is the

second skill to be sharpened. The students will have the chance to involve in the

phenomenon in real life and learn the important of adult’s role. Learning to think,

interpret, and adapt with that phenomenon are expected from the students. Being an

independent and autonomy learner is the third skill that will be equipped in

problem-based learning. The teacher will encourage and guide the students to ask the

questions and solve the problem on their own. Hence, the students learn to finish

their own task autonomy in their future.

c) The Steps of Problem-Based Learning

There are some steps provided in problem-based learning. Firstly, the teacher

orientates the students to the problem. Secondly, the teacher organizes the students to

define and organize the learning task. Thirdly, the teacher encourages the students to

do group investigation. Fourthly, the teacher helps the students to prepare the

presentation and finally the teacher helps the students to have reflection and

evaluation in the process of solving the problem.

2) Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning is an approach that organizes instruction using small

learning groups in which the students work together to achieve learning goals

(Slavin, 1995: 4). Cooperative learning can help the students who are willing to work

and succeed as a team. It means that they have to learn cooperatively to get success

(43)

Learning. In this team, the students not only do something as a team but also learn

something as a team to achieve the aims of learning.

a) Elements of Cooperative Learning

There are four elements underlying the concept of cooperative learning

suggested by Abdurrahman, as quoted by Nurhadi et al. (2004: 61). The first concept

is the positive interdependence between the members of the team where the students

will motivate each other in their group to achieve the objective of learning. The

second concept is the face-to-face interaction by interacting and sharing the students’

knowledge with other members in the form of dialogue. The third concept is the

individual accountability where the success depends on the individual learning of all

team members. The fourth concept is the skill to develop the interpersonal

relationship by respecting people’s opinions and ideas.

b) The Significance in Cooperative Learning

According to Johnson and Johnson (1984) as cited by Nurhadi et al. (2004:

63), there are some significance in cooperative learning. Besides improving the

aspect of cognition, in cooperative learning, the students will learn to improve their

ability to socialize by adapting with other members of the group and behaving

properly in their group. The students will learn to express their ideas and react to

others criticisms. Yet, the responsibility of each member will be accounted for all the

members of group. Working and Socializing together with their group, self-esteem

and self-acceptance are to be improved in themselves as the individual and social

(44)

the condition which makes the student learn to adapt with their partners or

companions and balance the relationship.

c) The Role of Evaluation in Cooperative Learning

To enhance the students’ quality of performance in speaking skill and also

their ability in work cooperatively, evaluation for cooperative learning is required.

There some benefits of using evaluation in cooperative learning as stated by Candler

(2002, in http://www.olc.spsd.sk.ca/html). By employing the evaluation, the teacher

can assess group outcomes as well as individual outcomes. The teacher will know

how the students work from cooperative group-assessment and cooperative

self-assessment. The result becomes the general description of the students’ condition for

the teacher to find the way to improve the students’ learning. Besides, the students

will gain benefits by being able to communicate their work with the teacher and

getting feedback from the teacher in order to produce higher-quality work.

Problem-Based Learning and Cooperative Learning are approaches that are to

be adapted to speaking activities in the classroom. Those approaches are expected to

help the teacher to achieve successful speaking activities in classroom.

e. Learning Context Used in Contextual Teaching and Learning

CTL exploits real context as much as possible related to students’ background

knowledge and experience. It facilitates students’ learning by passing on the

knowledge in stages and pieces that the students are familiar with. The real context

becomes the significant factor of the materials development using CTL. According to

(45)

environment. The surroundings and environment are to be recognizable for the

students to learn. There are some contexts that involve in Contextual Teaching and

Learning (Nurhadi et. al, 2004: 4). They are as follows:

1) Cultural Context.

In this context, the students will learn to be aware of the cultural issues raised in

society and learn how to deal with the context.

2) Social, Economic and Political Context.

In these contexts, the students will put themselves as the part of society and

discuss the problem such as social, economic, or political problem found in

society. The students will try to find the solution.

3) Personal Context.

In this context, the students will sharpen their skill to communicate with others

and to take a part as the individual and part of larger community society.

CTL will give chance for the teacher to provide those contexts in learning activities.

The aim is to help the students to see the meaning in the academic materials they are

studying by connecting it with the context of their daily lives, such as personal,

social, economic, political, and cultural context in their society. Furthermore, the

students will learn to be aware of those contexts that exist in real life and the

problems that could be followed.

f. The Role of Teacher and Students in Contextual Teaching and Learning

In CTL, the teacher will act as the facilitator and guide in the process of

teaching and learning activity and assessing the implementation. The teacher is not

(46)

risk-taking target language usage. Serving important roles in CTL, the teacher will

support the learning by providing problems, motivation, real life context, and

cooperative learning. The students, meanwhile, are supposed to be the center of

learning. The students should be actively involving as participants in learning by

reinforcing, expanding, and applying their knowledge and skills through the

activities in interdependent group learning to lead them as self-regulated learners.

4. Competence-Based Curriculum

Competence-Based Curriculum is the curriculum that has been applied in

some schools such as SMA Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta since 2004.

Competence-Based Curriculum focuses on the competence to be performed by the students.

According to Pusat Kurikulum Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Departemen

Pendidikan Nasional (2001: 7-8), in, the students are expected to be able to

communicate in English fluently. Since it views the language as a means of

communication, English learning is expected to function as a means to develop

senior high school students’ personality, knowledge, technology and arts, global

concept, and international communication capability.

a. Objectives of English Language Learning Based on Competence-Based Curriculum

In this curriculum, English lesson has four objectives. Firstly, the students are

able to communicate in English. Secondly, the students are able to understand

English as a language system. Thirdly, the students are able to develop their

(47)

knowledge (Pusat Kurikulum Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Departemen

Pendidikan Nasional, 2001: 8). Accordingly, the students are supposed to develop

their English competency integrating with the aspects of life such: arts and culture,

social life, cognitive development, and the like.

b. Materials Scope in English Language Learning based on Competence-Based Curriculum

In an attempt to achieve the objectives stated above, the scope of English

materials for SMA should be determined. The scope of English material should cover

macro skills of English (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), basic language

components (structures, vocabulary, pronunciation, and spelling), and the cultural

aspects such as in English expressions found in various oral and written texts

(Departemen Pendidikan Nasional, 2003: 2).

c. Principles of Competence-Based Curriculum

There are six principles in the Competence-Based Curriculum (Pusat

Penelitian Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Departemen Pendidikan Nasional,

2001: 11-12). They are summarized as follows:

1) Knowing what to do according to the purposes and the use of every activity.

2) Integrating the four skills of language (English) competencies.

3) Learning a language is learning how to communicate.

4) Knowing the importance of meaning in teaching.

5) Learning how to do by having much time to practice their knowledge.

(48)

5. The Role of Instructional Materials

Materials are one of the important elements needed in developing course

design. Imel states that in CTL, materials should become a tool for helping learners

to reflect on and make changes in their lives (2004, in

http://www.cew.wisc.edu/teachnet/ctl/html). It means that the teacher should be

creative in producing or adapting materials which are comprehensible and

practicable for the students so as to improve their lives. In CTL, the writer will

develop task-based materials. It concerns with the problem-solving task that provided

in cooperative learning. In addition, the task can be also the various kinds of

discussion, presentation, and games that can support the CTL class. The task-based

materials are used in order to give the opportunity for the students to practice the

language use by presenting it in the form of many various kinds of CTL task.

6. Materials Design Model

In designing and writing the materials, Hutchinson and Waters (1987: 108)

propose the materials design model for the teacher. The model is to provide a

coherent framework for the integration of various aspects of learning as well as the

room for teacher’s creativity.

This model consists of four components. The first component is input, which

provides stimulus materials for activities, new language it
