theoretical framework.
A. Theoretical Description

types of reading, assessing reading, designing reading exercises and assessment tasks, weblog, Hot-Potatoes program and teaching adolescence which are going to
be discussed in this research.
1. Research and Development R D
According to Kemp 1989, research and development or instructional- design plan supplies to answer three questions. They are:
“What must be learned? What procedures and resources will work best to reach the desired learning
levels? How will we know when the required learning has taken place?” The first question is the objectives, the second question is the activities and resources, and
the last question is the evaluation process. Those three questions consider as essential elements in instructional technology p. 8. Research and development
have several components depend on the needs of the research. Almost all research and development components have similarities, such as in Kemp 1989 and
