Abstract

This study attempts to develop the teaching material used by the students of Senior High Schools (SMA/MA). The population of this research is the students, the teachers and the headmasters of Senior High Schools in Semarang city. Samples were taken from 9 (nine) high schools with the total number of 90 students, 17 teachers, and 9 headmasters. The data were collected through questionnaires for the students and teachers and deep interview for the headmasters. It was found out that the students like more on readings than on the skills with the following average scores: reading (3.69), writing (3.63), listening (3.6), and speaking (3.55). Students also expect that the topics of the reading passages are about music, movies, television program or others that convey character education. While the teachers stated that the teaching materials they used so far did not fulfill their need with the average score 3.09. It was also found out that the education character was not much covered in the teaching material. Besides, the teaching materials they used did not apply scientific approach. It is unfortunate that most of the Headmasters were not familiar with the latest curriculum, curriculum 2013. They argued that curriculum 2013 is similar to KTSP, therefore, they still employ KTSP instead. Thus, it is concluded that the English teaching materials provided recently for the students of Senior High Schools are insufficient. The existing ones are neither in accordance with curriculum 2013 nor include much of the character education. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers and lecturers should cooperate intensively d oing researches in order to create teaching materials that fulfill the need of the students and teachers.
