The quality of English learning in high schools (SMA) needs to be improved to achieve better target competencies. One effort that can be taken is to improve the quality of teaching materials. From a number of instructional materials or textbooks of English language, it seems that improvements still need to be made, especially related to the pragmatic elements contained in the textbook. Teaching materials that present a pragmatic approach are still very limited.

The research method used is research and development. Data collection techniques used in this study through observation, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires. Research development procedures include information gathering, planning, developing initial product forms (product design), field testing, and product revisions. Analysis of the data used is qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Sudarwati and Eudia Grace published Erlangga Publishers.
