to pay attention on how important vocabulary for their understanding. It is because they think English is a difficult subject to learn and they have put it in
their mindset. Most students have difficulties to comprehend English text because the
teachers do not give many model texts for them. The teachers sometimes only use a model text from the LKS instead of finding model texts from many
sources. In fact, teachers can develop an interactive multimedia from the appropriate materials because it can present the materials into an interesting
way. The presence of interactive multimedia can increase students’ attention in learning English.
Listening, speaking, reading, writing, and vocabulary cannot be separated from grammar. It is very important because it is the foundation of learning
English. People who want to learn English should master the grammar first. If grammar is taught in the school into an interactive multimedia, it will be fun
for the students. Therefore, developing materials into interactive learning multimedia for teaching English is necessary to be conducted.
