the students. However, it was the challenge for the
teachers to develop the teaching materials as well.
After identifying the factors above, the
researchers thought that teachers might have
reference as source for teaching. Teacher should not
only focus on the teacher’s and the student’s book
that have been provided by the government but also
need an extra reference to help them easier on
teaching the materials as well as the students
enjoying and understanding the materials. Hence,
the researchers believed that the problems should be
tackled and the best way to deal with the less-
applicable components on English teaching
materials on 2013 curriculum was to design English
teaching materials covered module based on
Curriculum/K13 which aimed to help both teacher
and student get easier in teaching and learning
process. Another reason on the way researchers
conduct this research was to develop the English
materials by designing a module as the additional
source for the teacher. The teachers’ book that
provided by the government was the main source at
the time while the teachers were obligated to design
their own material as attractive as possible.
This research focused on developing the English
material dealing with 2013 curriculum and
specifically for KI (Basic Competence) 3.10, 4.12,
and 4.13 about descriptive text. Furthermore, the
researchers formulated a study entitled "Developing
Descriptive Text Materials dealing with 2013
Curriculum of the Seventh Grade in MTsN. Balang-
Balang."
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
As a field of study and a practical undertaking,
Material Development studies the principles and
procedures of many aspects of language teaching
materials, they are the design, implementation and
evaluation. (Tomlinson, 2011, p.2). In a study
written by Nation and Macalister (2009) it is said
that curriculum design involves many of the areas in
Applied Linguistic, such as language acquisition
research, teaching methodology, assessment,
language description, as well as material production.
While Richards (2001, p. 13) reveals that curriculum
development can be identified as writing process to
design more materials included gather the ideas,
contents, practices and reviewing text.
There are many kinds of model which can be
implemented in order to develop material such as
Borg & Gall model, Sugiyono model, Dick and
Carey model and Kemp model. However, the
researchers adopted the ADDIE Model by Drljaca et
al. (2017) because it is suitable for this study.
ADDIE stands for Analysis, Design, Development,
Implementation, and Evaluation.
The 2013 Curriculum is a re-form curriculum
from the KTSP, aims to improve and balance both
soft skills and hard skills of students such as;
religious, skill, and knowledge. However, this
research designs a product dealing with the
Indonesian Curriculum called K13.
Curriculum is the most contributed element in
order to achieve the potential quality of the
development process of the learners. Curriculum is a
potential experience set up in the school as a purpose
of disciplining the children and youth in group ways
of thinking and acting. Further, the outcomes of
Curriculum are the planned and guided learning
experiences formulated through the systematic
reconstruction of knowledge and experience.
In Modul Pelatihan Implementasi Kurikulum
(2013, p. 4) the 2013 Curriculum is the development
of curriculum with basic competence from the
previous curriculum in KBK 2004 and KTSP 2006
which has attitude, knowledge, and skill. There are
four competences for the 2013 Curriculum:
a) Core Competence or Kompetensi inti-1 (KI-1)
is set for religious competence
b) Core Competence (KI-2) is set for social
competence
c) Core Competence/KI (KI-3) is set for cognitive
competence
d) Core Competence/Kompetensi inti-4 (KI-4) is
set for skill competence.
