Relevant research studies THEORETICAL REVIEW AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

students and ask them to read. The teachers need to give students various activities with simultaneous feedback and guidance. Moreover, those activities should be interesting. Concerning the use of computer-assisted in language learning, the teachers are expected to benefit from this media in order to enhance the teaching and learning. They should be able to incorporate multimedia in the teaching learning process. However it should be kept in mind that the applied interactive multimedia program should meet the students’ needs and accommodate the students learning styles. It means that the interactive multimedia program should be developed for the purpose of learning of a specific target by considering standard of competencies and basic competencies of English subject as urged by the national curriculum. Based on this consideration therefore this study needs to be conducted.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD

This chapter presents the research method used in conducting the research. It comprises the description about: 1 the type of the research, 2 research procedure, 3 setting of the research, 4 data collection techniques, 5 instruments of the research, and 6 data analysis techniques.

A. Type of Research

This research is classified as educational Research and Development R D. It was conducted to design interactive multimedia for a reading instruction for the tenth grade students of senior high school. Borg and Gall 2003 : 569 states that Research and Development is a process used to develop educational products and validate by testing those products. They suggest that the products will be systematically field-tested, evaluated and refined until they meet specified criteria of effectiveness, quality, or similar standards.

B. Research Procedure

Research procedure used in this study is ADDIE Design Model which is proposed by Taylor 2004 with some adaptation to meet the conditions of the research. Since the implementation stage is omitted in this research, revision stage then is added to complete the procedure. The scheme of the steps of the interactive learning multimedia development in this research is shown in figure below.
