which aims to determine the initial needs in carrying out development. (2) Design
is a stage that aims to carry out a design according to the needs in the analysis stage.
(3) Development is a product test by expert validators. (4) Implementation and
distribution of products that have been developed. (5) Evaluation and product
improvement based on the results of all previous stages. Teaching materials were
validated using a questionnaire distributed to 2 validators, including Dr.
Masitowarni Siregar, M.Ed. (Lecturer of English Education, State University of
Medan) and Kristonny Panjaitan (English Teacher of SMP NEGERI 1 SIANTAR).
With the results of the assessment by the validator, the development of translation
