DEVELOPING ENGLISH READING MATERIAL OF DESCRIPTIVE TEXT FOR GRADE X STUDENTS OF FASHION DESIGN STUDY PROGRAM AT SMKN 1 STABAT

This research focuses on how reading materials of descriptive text for the Fashion
Design Study Program at SMKN 1 Stabat are created. The goal of this project was
to provide English reading materials with descriptive language that were
appropriate for students in the fashion design program's grade X. The study
focused on grade X students at SMK N 1 Stabat, which had a total of 33 students.
Questionnaires and interviews were used to gather information. The writer
deduced the students' need to study English based on their school program after
examining the data. Based on the needs analysis of the students, it was discovered
that several reading elements from the students' book are incompatible with the
syllabus. Then there's the reading material, which should be tailored to their
syllabus and needs. The reading materials were completed after the materials had
been designed. The total findings reveal that the new reading material received
95.8% from the Expert–lecturer and the Expert–English instructor, and that the
categorization is "relevant" as the reading material criteria. The instructional
materials generated were connected to the students' major, which was a fashion
design degree. Gathering information and data, analyzing data, designing new
reading material, validating expert, refining new reading material based on expert
suggestions, and developing reading material were the six stages of material
development (final product).
