Abstract


The emerge of Open Educational Resource (OER) platforms is widely spreading and quickly growing across nations in the past few decades. All the more, since it has been issued by UNESCO’s mandate in 2019. It becomes a real embodiment of effort in creating sustainable educational atmosphere, more particularly in terms of teaching and learning resource. A developing country, such as Indonesia also livens it up, either platforms developed by the government officially or by other educational institutions. One of the crucial challenges is on the quality of those teaching and learning resource. Therefore, this study examines the contents of teaching materials obtained from government OER platform. There are one textbook and four teaching modules analyzed in depth. The book is analyzed using two main instruments: the first is major principles in materials development and the second is the frameworks for developing ELT materials for each language skill and language components. Meanwhile the teaching module is analyzed using the first instrument only. The finding shows that they are lack of authentic materials, less focusing both on form and meaning, and less contain creativity stimulus.
