Abstract

Reading is a complex process that requires a complex set of skills. To gain an understanding of reading, someone needs to go through a fairly long process. Therefore, reading materials should meet several important features that can support teaching learning activities. Based on the result of needs analysis, the writer found that there was no easy and interesting extensive reading material for university students in Berau Regency which can be used as teaching tool. Concerning this problem, a set of supplementary reading material for students needed to be developed. This material consists of several English reading texts based on Berau folklore. The researchers applied several procedures in this research: conducting needs analysis, developing supplementary materials, conducting expert validation, revising the materials, trying out the materials, and revising the materials. The researchers collected the data by using quistionaires, interview, analyzing the syllabus and checklist. The product of this research is four units of supplementary extensive reading materials.
