Abstract
For teachers or curriculum developers, providing students with adequate reading sources is indispensable in order to achieve impact and to meet the students’ needs. Besides, it is important to supply students with passages which are contextualised with the students’ study background and passages which can stimulate students’ interest. However, there are still inadequate sources that can be accessed by students of the Indonesian language department who attend English class to find more information about Indonesia provided in English. This study aimed to develop supplementary English reading materials mainly containing information about Indonesia. To develop the materials, the researcher used ADDIE model comprising five steps: analysing, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating. The data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations and then were analysed by using descriptive statistics and interactive approach. The results show that the developed materials: 1) are appropriate to be used in classroom settings, 2) have fulfilled the needs of the students, 3) have exposed students to the diversity of Indonesia, and 4) have reinforced the students’ language and comprehension skills through the tasks provided in the materials.
