Abstract
This research study was aimed at developing cooperative integrated reading and composition (CIRC) weblogs materials for the second grade students of MAN 1 Yogyakarta. The development was carried out through ADDIE stages. The qualitative data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis while the quantitative data were analyzed through the descriptive quantitative analysis which was converted to the qualitative data. The result showed that the materials could provide more texts which were closely related to student life and more practices on grammar, vocabulary, and generic structure of the text. However, the weblogs materials should be more adaptive to the learning process. Hence, the materials were improved by adding more games, giving direct feedback, simplifying instructions, minimizing essay questions, and giving examples or demonstration before working with the assignments. Through the development of the products, the learning process became more conducive since there was improvement on the student interaction and motivation.
