The second step was materials development. The materials were adopted adapted and organized based on the availability of the existing relevant materials and resources and supplemented by pictures. The materials were developed by including both writing process genre approach and Tomlinson and Matsuhara s (2004) technique of writing materials. The third step was expert validation. A form of questionnaire was given to the experts of materials development/content and design/media to assess the tentative product in terms of its content and design. The revisions were done in reference to the suggestions given. The fourth step was limited field testing. It was conducted in order to have students comments on the developed materials identify students difficulty dealing with the developed materials as well as indentify how to improve the instructional materials. The judgment of content/product development expert and media/design expert showed that the work book was categorized as good. However lighter side concept map language spacing background color and answer option should be revised. The results of field testing indicated that the course book was very good but the mistyping should be revised and the writer should provide more than one example of each model text. The developed materials can be used as sources of learning because it was developed based on students needs interests and problems and was validated and tried out. Moreover the other institutions which have the same problems and similar students characteristics may use the developed materials. Finally the future researchers are suggested to put into account the students learning styles and a retrospective evaluation in form of a response-based evaluation and a learning-based evaluation.
