Abstract

This research aimed to develop instructional materials for procedure texts incorporating local content to enhance ninth-grade students' engagement and comprehension at SMP Negeri 5 Ambon. Employing Borg and Gall’s Research and Development model, the study followed nine iterative steps, including needs analysis, material development, expert validation, revision, and field testing. Data were collected through student questionnaires, expert reviews, and classroom trials involving 30 students. The developed materials were validated by experts and received a “very good” rating based on their alignment with the 2013 Curriculum, cultural relevance, clarity, and pedagogical soundness. Field testing showed that students demonstrated increased motivation, active participation, and improved understanding of both procedural texts and local cultural elements. The final product consisted of interactive worksheets, multimedia resources, and locally contextualized content such as traditional Ambonese recipes and crafts. These materials not only improved learning outcomes but also fostered students’ cultural identity. The study underscores the significance of contextualized and culturally responsive materials in making English learning more effective, engaging, and meaningful.
