Abstract

The topic raised in this research is developing English speaking supplementary materials based on Banjarese local wisdom and wetlands. This topic was raised considering that the wetlands and local wisdom around the students were able to provide them with a context that could help them learn English that could be used in everyday life. If we look at the textbooks used by students in class, most of the examples and materials used are not based on the things around them. Therefore, this research was conducted to develop English speaking supplementary materials based on Banjarese local wisdom and wetlands which are valid and practical. The model used in this research and development is the ADDIE model. The ADDIE model is a model that has been used by many developers and stands for Analysis, Design, Develop, Implementation, and Evaluation. Based on the research that has been done, students think that they need supplementary materials based on Banjarese local wisdom and wetlands. In addition, after going through the designing, developing, implementation, and evaluation processes, it was found that there are two advantages of the supplementary materials. The first is the supplementary material was developed with needs assessment, thus, the materials developed is fit with the students of eleventh grade’s needs, teachers’ needs, and English subject syllabus for eleventh grade senior high schools. The second advantage is that the English speaking supplementary materials developed were valid and practical for use in classroom learning.
