18 objective contains the goal that has to be reached by the students, what students
must learn from a study. The second is the teaching and learning strategies in which teachers must set a plan to conduct the learning process. The procedures
and the resources are required to accomplish the learning. The last one is the evaluation. The evaluation has an important role in seeing the first step of this
element, which is objective, whether it has been reached or not.
4. Electronic Learning
Today, we are living in the era of technology. A technology has an important role in many aspects of living. Technology, especially computer and
other electronic tools, has tremendous impact in society. Evenmore nowadays, education is using technology in supporting learning process. E-learning is one of
the keys to solve our global challenges, transforming our expectations, our employees, and the way we do business Ubell, 2010.
Newby 2000: 45 states that software consists of computer programs, sets of instructions to the computer’s processor that tell it how to perform a particular
task, such as editing text or presenting a computer-based lesson. There are two basic categories of software: systems software and applications software. Systems
software is the basic operating software that tells the computer how to perform its fundamental functions. While applications software included programs are
designed to perform specific functions for the user, from the processing text, to do calculations, to present a lesson on the computer.

19 Authoring software is the term for the programs that are used to develop
multimedia and web applications. We live in a complex environment of sights and sounds. Increasingly computer applications can reflect the complexity and
richness of the real world by incorporating multimedia. Multimedia involves the use of a variety of media formats text, visual, audio, video in a single
presentation or product. Authoring software allows teachers or students to develop multimedia applications.
B. Theoretical Framework
This research focused on students’ perception on the use of computer
software to develop listening media in Language Teaching Media class. There were some objectives that were going to be reached through this research. The
first one was how the listening media was produced by the students and the second one was to investigate
students’ perception on the use of computer software to develop listening media in Language Teaching Media class. In order
to gain the answer of research questions, this research employed four major theories. Those theories are the perception, the listening media, the instructional
design, and the electronic learning. First, the researcher elaborated the theories of listening and instructional
design in order to explain how the real practice of developing listening media and it would be compared to the theory of listening itself. The researcher wanted to
look whether or not the students developed the listening media by considering
