develop interactive multimedia program for English teaching learning process.
CHAPTER II THEORETICAL REVIEW AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
It has been discussed in the previous chapter that this research is to develop interactive multimedia for the reading to the first grade of senior high
school students. As stated in the background of the problem, there are many good reading materials but they are delivered in ways which often make students feel
bored in their learning process. The developing interactive multimedia is expect to be an interesting ways for delivering reading materials to students.
This section discusses some theories, technical terms, and relevant studies which are related to this study. Afterwards, the conceptual framework for this
study is drawn.
A. Theoretical Review 1. Reading
Reading plays some important roles in the English learning process. Maxom 2009: 139 suggests that reading has the considerable role in the
language teaching to strengthen the skills which are acquired by the students in speaking, listening and writing. Moreover, reading can als
o enhance the students’ acquisition by understanding the linguistically written text Richards Renandya,
2002: 273.
a. The nature of reading
According to Richards and Schmidt 2002: 443 reading is noticing a written text in order to understand its contents or saying the written text loudly
with or without an understanding of its contents. In line with Richards and Schmidt, Coltheart in Snowling and Hulme 2005: 6 proposes that reading is an
activity of processing some information by transforming print to speech or print to
