SUMMARY

The Development of Learning Material for Seminar on English Language Teaching Course
Based on Flipped Learning.

Making a presentation in a seminar is a critical skill nowadays. The fifth semester of the
Curriculum English Educational Study Program includes an English Language Teaching Seminar.
The student's ability to write papers and give presentations is still limited. The goal of this study
is to create teaching materials for students in the English Department for a Flipped Learning-
based Seminar on Language Teaching. Through the use of teaching materials, this research can
increase the knowledge and appearance of disseminating scientificwork, both its research
results and its opinion, to a wider readership.

According to Supriadi (2001: 9), an assessment of teaching materials includes "the quality of the
contents of the book, its suitability with the curriculum, the language used, including its
presentation and readability, graphics, and book safety." The flipped learning model or flipped
classroom has numerous advantages over the traditional learning model. According to Chang,
intentional content refers to the content of the material that students will learn (2016: p.5).
Students in my flipped classrooms use a variety of materials. These could be textbooks, ppt
slides, videos, or a rehearsal book. In addition, the lecturer creates group and individual
assignments for students to use in real-life situations.

This course examines advanced scientific writing issues, both theoretically and practically.
Students are expected to write their own scientific articles that are publishable. The Language
Teaching Seminar is designed to help students understand both the theory and practice of
writing scientific articles.

The research was carried out at Universitas Negeri Medan's English Educational Study Program,
Faculty of Languages and Arts. Data collection instruments, interviews, and questionnaires were
used as data collection techniques. The designed teaching materials are evaluated or validated
by experts at the language teaching seminar.

The Research and Development (R&D) method is being used to conduct research aimed at
developing a seminar on language teaching materials based on Flipped Learning. The study was
divided into three (three) phases, each with its own set of goals and outcomes. This study
produced teaching materials for a language seminar based on flipped learning, as well as
articles published in national indexed journals. The next step is to publish at an international
seminar, the I Unimed Seminars, on November 14th, and to await the outcome of a national
accredited journal.
