Designing Local Folktales Based English Grammar Instructional Materials with the PACE Model Procedure

Background/purpose. This study aimed to identify the students' needs for English grammar instructional materials based on local folktales, with the PACE model as the teaching procedure, design a prototype of instructional materials, and examine the efficacy of the developed instructional materials.

Materials/methods. We employed the ADDIE Research & Development model. Data was collected through multiple techniques. Questionnaires were distributed to gather information about the needs of students. To ascertain the quality of the designed instructional materials, an expert evaluation was conducted, observations and forum group discussions were conducted, and questionnaires were administered. Pre- and post-tests were administered to examine the efficacy of the instructional materials. Results. Results of the need analysis revealed that most students needed instructional materials based on the local folktales with specific PACE model procedures. The developed instructional materials were categorized as valid based on expert validation, classroom observations, forum group discussions, and questionnaires. Additionally, the results of the pre-and post-tests indicated that the instructional materials were effective.

Conclusion. The implication is that the instructional materials developed with the inclusion of local folktales and oriented to the PACE model procedure are of great importance and, therefore, will likely become primary instructional materials for teaching English grammar.
