Abstract
This study aims to develop the teaching materials of English for Biology (a module) at Biology Department as a response to the difficulty of students to deal with the KKNI assignments at Department Biology Universitas Negeri Medan. The research and development design is used refers to the Cunningham’s (Borg & Gall, 2003) and consists of stages: 1) Studying relevant literatures; 2) Planning the proposed purpose; 3) Developing early stages for the teaching material (product); 4) Evaluating the early product; 5) Correcting the product based on the evaluated stage; 6) Field assessment towards the examined product. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to deal with the data. The instrument used to determine the feasibility of the module is questionnaires, both for students and validators. The effectiveness of the module was tested using the pre-experiment design with a one-group pre and post-test model. There is an increased value of 21.09. The validation shows that the teaching material and design is considered “very” valid as the scores are 3.00 and 3.24 (respectively). The responses about the practicality of the module are considered as positive as the score is 3.07 and 76.92%. The module is considerably good as teaching material and is effectively improving the students’ achievements in examination.
