RINGKASAN MATERI CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Materials is anything which can be used to facilitate the

learning of a language.

MATERIAL SELECTION is matching the given materials

against the context (the need and interest of teacher and
learners) to find best possible fit between them.
Framework (stages of analysis) of selecting material:
1. Assessing the content of the material.
2. Assessing the effectiveness of the material.

MATERIAL ADAPTATION involves changing existing

material to make it suitable for specific learners, teacher
or situation.

Reason for adapting material:

1. Teaching environment
2. The learners differences
3. The teacher preferences
4. The course objectives
5. And the materials itself
The principle in adapting material is need to involve the
sequencing activities (ex; reception before production,
listening before reading)

Procedure adapting material:

1. Profiling teaching context
2. Identifying reason
3. Evaluating
4. Listing objectives
5. Adapting
6. Teaching
7. Revising

MATERIAL EVALUATION is a procedure that involves

measuring the value (or potential value) of a set of
learning materials.
Principle in material evaluation:
1. The teachers learning and teaching theory
2. Learning theory from experts.
Types of material evaluation:
1. Pre evaluation (involves making predictions about
the potential value of materials)
 2. Whilst-use evaluation (involves measuring the value of
materials while using them or while observing them being used.)
3. Post-use evaluation is probably the most valuable (but least
administered) type of evaluation as it can measure the actual
effects (short-term effect as regards motivation, impact,
achievability, instant learning, etc) of the materials on the users.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT is both a field of study and a

practical undertaking. As a field it studies the principles
and procedures of the design, implementation and
evaluation of teaching materials. As an undertaking it
involves the production, evaluation and adaptation of
language teaching materials, by teachers for their own
classrooms and by materials writers for sale or
distribution.

The principles material dev., material should :

1. Linked to curriculum
2. Authentic
3. Stimulate interaction
4. Develop skill
5. Make learners apply developed skill.
