This research was aimed to develop a product named HoPALM, hot-potatoes assisted listening material for secondary high school students. This research applied development research and ADDIE procedure. In the analysis stage, the researcher found the fundamental problems and needs of the students as well as the opportunity as the background of developing HoPALM. In the designing and developing stage, the researcher collected the sources that needed and develop HoPALM by using the features available on the hot-potatoes program. After the product assessed by the material content and the multimedia experts, HoPALM considered as valid and applicable to use, the researcher implemented the product to the two school targets, SMA Negeri 1 and 2 Sungai Kakap.

Creating Engaging Powerpoint Supplementary Materials for Twelfth-Grade Students: Enhancing Procedure Text Learning

“…As the gap of this research, the researcher designed supplementary materials of procedure text for senior high school and focus on writing skills. Furthermore, related to the media showing the materials, two previous studies who used multimedia-based to design the materials, were Sauramanda et al, 2022, andUtami et al, 2022. These studies showed the importance of media used in displaying the materials.…”

“…These studies showed the importance of media used in displaying the materials. Sauramanda et al, 2022 developed supplementary material using Ispring Quizmaker, while Utami et al, 2022 developed supplementary materials using Hot Potato. Their studies supported the researchers' decision to carry out this study.…”
