Designing Need-Based Learning Material Properly? A Practical Guide for Teachers

Teachers who work on improving learners' performance often find it extremely difficult to develop learning materials tailored to their learners' needs. Creating new learning materials without a deep understanding can lead to weak outcomes and may widen the gap in the learners' language skills. Designing and creating effective learning materials should follow a series of steps. While books on designing new learning materials describe these steps in detail, they lack practical and statistical application. This paper serves as a clear guideline for teachers, offering a practical application of these steps based on the learners' needs, especially in syntax. The paper outlines these steps, starting with the analysis phase and ending with the approval stage, including the application of the material to a randomly selected group of learners.
