ABSTRACT

Anjarmoko, Matius Hebi. 2009. Designing a Set of Web-based English Vocabulary Supplementary Materials for the First Grade Students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta: English Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University

Vocabulary learning is important in English learning because by learning English vocabulary, the students will have a greater chance to understand and use English. The problems for students when they are learning English vocabulary are that they do not have enough time to practice, the materials are not various, and the vocabulary exercises are not interesting. Seeing the problems, the writer tried to make use of computer alongside with Macromedia Dreamweaver™ as the programming software to create a website which serves more attractive and interesting English vocabulary learning materials. The materials in the study are developed based on School Based Curriculum or KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan) since the materials are supplementary materials which mean that the materials are used to supplement or add the existing vocabulary materials in school. The abstract will elaborate the problems formulated in problem formulation.

There are two problems formulated in the study, first is that how a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta is designed and what a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta looks like.

To answer the first question, the writer used the six (6) steps which were adapted from the Research and Development (R & D) and Kemp instructional design. Research and Development in this study is used as the umbrella for the design, while Kemp is used as the umbrella for the material design. The result of the adaptation was (1) Identifying learners’ Characteristics, (2) Formulating goal, topics, and general purposes, (3) Specifying learning objectives, (4) Listing subject content, (5) Selecting teaching and learning activities and resources, and (6) Evaluating-Preliminary field testing. The writer also made use of survey study using questionnaires to gain respondents’ opinion(s), suggestion(s), and comment(s). The result of the survey study will be used to revise and improve the design materials.

The second question is answered through the presentation of the design materials. There are 8 units in the design, each unit is divided into 4 subject content, and they are Preparation, Vocabulary Focus, Learning from Input and Output, and Reflection.

As the final remark, the writer hopes that the design of a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta will be useful for students to improve and enrich their English vocabulary and also for teachers in teaching English vocabulary.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter covers the description of the topic; the problems of the study, the focus of the study and the advantages of the study. Systematically, chapter one covers The Background of the Study, Problem Identification, Problem Limitation, Problem Formulation, The Objectives of the Study, The Benefits of the Study, and The Definition of Terms.

A. The Background of the Study

“Vocabulary is central to language and of critical importance to the typical language learner” (Coady, 1997, p.5). It means that vocabulary is not just a matter of understanding words and its implementation but more on the main concern in English as a Second Language (ESL). Learning vocabulary can be the first step for ESL students to learn the basic of English, because by having the ability to master English vocabulary, students will be easier to understand and use English. Students nowadays demand their learning activities to be more interactive and interesting so they will be easier to learn English vocabulary. The challenge is to provide the students with the method which is appropriate to their expectations. Computer may become the answer, using computer, students will be provided with more attractive features in learning English, they will be able to perform self-learning activities and these features will help them to be independent learners. Using computers, teachers may put any materials which are appropriate


(23)

to objectives and they can create an easier way of teaching which is based on the present curriculum. Using computer as the basis for exercises, students will be easier to absorb the materials because the learning activities will take place on the computer instead of inside the traditional class which mostly makes them lack of motivation to learn.

The basis for learning and exercising vocabulary to improve students’ achievement is by means of computer. The computer is hoped to help students to create motivation toward vocabulary learning. Using computer the students can also expose themselves more on the vocabulary materials they are learning. Computer was first designed for military purpose to protect highly important documents from their opponents. With the end of the war world II, people were trying to develop computer for other purposes. Since then, computer was developing very fast and now computer has become a part of human activities and used for numerous aspects in life. For many years, people are trying to develop a technique to teach English to students and finally, they come up with the use of computer to help students in learning English. Started from 1960s, computers were used for language teaching “Computers have been used for language teaching since the 1960s” (Warschauer and Healey, 1998, p.57), but it was only used for certain educational purposes. Starting from that moment, people were trying to develop technology which could help students and teachers to find suitable method to teach and learn English. Then, researchers proposed the Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Through CALL the teaching and learning activities are based on computer as the assistant. The involvement of


(24)

computer has been a way to solve students’ problem in learning languages. Nevertheless, technology is made to help humans accomplish their duties.

The learning process through the use of computer will be in two (2) ways, online and offline. Using the online process, the students will need to connect their computers to Internet Service Provider (ISP) or other computers which have the Internet Service Provider. The online connection allows students to use the design anytime and anywhere they want, this is because the materials are already provided in the website and students are only to open the address of the website. Besides the online connection, the offline connection is also being used in the design. Offline connection demands the students to use their computers only without having to connect their computer to the Internet Service Provider. Offline connection allows student to learn using their computers. The form of the software will still be in form of a website page but it is bundled into Compact Disc (CD), this is done to make the students easier to use the website. In the design, the features used in online and offline connection are the same; there are no extreme distinctions used in both connections.

The focus of the research is that the designing application using the programming software used to teach vocabulary for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta provides the features needed to create a more attractive vocabulary learning design and help the students to have more exposure on vocabulary materials so that they can do exercise themselves to achieve better vocabulary mastery. There are many programming softwares that can be used to design the software such as Macromedia Dreamweaver™,


(25)

Macromedia Flash™, Java scripting™, Delphi™, which each has its own characteristics. The programming software used in the study is the Macromedia Dreamweaver™. The writer uses the Macromedia Dreamweaver™ as the programming software because the software is easy to apply, it has the features to create a more attractive design, and moreover, it has the characteristics which allow beginner users to learn the software independently. The programming software also enables teachers to design their own materials based on students’ needs and the present curriculum.

B. Problem Identification

The lack of vocabulary materials in class has created teacher to have less focus on the vocabulary teaching and learning. Teachers tend to use the vocabulary which is included in the book, teachers exercises their students mainly using the vocabulary exercises in the book. This situation has undervalued vocabulary teaching and learning in class and it will create the analogy that vocabulary is difficult. This is because of when the vocabulary is being undervalued, vocabulary teaching and learning will tend no to be maximum and students will have many problems dealing with English vocabulary.

“Teaching and learning of vocabulary have been undervalued in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) throughout its varying stages and up to the present day” (Zimmerman as cited by Coady, 1997, p.1). Since vocabulary is undervalued and considered the second, the teaching and learning of vocabulary is considered as not very important. In class, teachers seldom use attractive materials


(26)

when they are teaching vocabulary to their students which makes the students unmotivated to learn. When students are not motivated, they seldom understand materials they are learning. Creating attracting materials can help the situation from happening. Zimmerman also explains that:

Most second language learners have traditionally been taught by methods that gave minimal attention to vocabulary. Consequently, it seems reasonable to expect that most teachers will also continue to neglect vocabulary, whether it is because of the methods by which they have learned or the method by which they are teaching. (Zimmerman as cited by Coady, 1997, p.273 – 274)

The perception is clear, in the implementation of vocabulary learning, most teachers and learners neglect the vocabulary learning for they think it is not very important no matter what method they are using. They always consider that vocabulary is just learning and memorizing list of words.

For most students of senior high school, vocabulary is regarded difficult. “In learning a second language, you will find that vocabulary is comparatively easy, inspite of the fact that it is vocabulary that students fear most. The harder part is mastering new structure in both content comprehension” (Gleason as cited by Carter, 2000, p.184). It is true that vocabulary is difficult for students who are lack of exposure in comprehending vocabulary, they seldom get any comprehension activities which are very helpful in learning vocabulary. “It is exceptionally difficult to teach an organized syllabus of both grammar and lexis at the same time.” (Sinclair and Renouf, 1998 as cited by Coady, 1997, p.273). They say that we cannot do grammar and vocabulary teaching at the same time for it is very unlikely. This has affected the learning of vocabulary because it will create a


(27)

little exposure to vocabulary teaching and learning, which will lead the students to the inability to understand and master the vocabulary for their English learning.

C. Problem Limitation

The study deals with the designing of a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta. It covers the materials and the activities used in the study. The study also focuses on the kinds of exercises which are used in the design using the software. The design of vocabulary exercise activities will be the main issue in the study to serve more attractive and interesting learning activities.

D. Problem Formulation

The formulation of problems which are concluded from the main problems of the design is as following:

1. How is a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta designed?

2. What does a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta look like?


(28)

E. Research Objectives

The objectives of the study are based on the questions in the problem formulation. First, is to answer how a set of Web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta to create more attractive and motivating vocabulary learning activities for students is designed. Second, the writer intends to present the design of a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta.

F. Research Benefits

The study will give benefit to teachers and the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta. The benefits of the study are it can help teachers to create more attractive and motivating vocabulary teaching activities and help students to be more motivated in learning vocabulary which in turn will help them understand and use English. Another benefit of the study is that a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta would create different learning atmosphere and increase students’ achievement toward English vocabulary.

G. Definition of Terms

The study includes some terms related to the design and it is important for the writer to clarify the meaning of the terms. The terms are Design, Web-based


(29)

Exercise, Vocabulary, First Grade Students of Senior High, Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), and Software.

1. Design

‘The entire process of analysis or learning need and goal and the development of a delivery system to meet the needs; includes development of instructional materials and activities; and try out and revision of all instruction and learner assessment activities” (Briggs, 1977, P.xx). Design is very important in the study because it determines the materials and helps in the process of designing the English vocabulary materials. The writer has the main role to elaborate the vocabulary materials in order to achieve the main purpose of the study.

2. Web-based

Ritter & Stevens gives the description of web-based as “The delivery of and access to a co-ordinated collection of learning materials over an electronic medium using web server to deliver materials, a Web browser to access them…” (Ritter and Stevens, 2000, p.8). Web Based is the way to help students to learn language, in this case English language, through the use of online service.

3. Vocabulary

Vocabulary is one of the English elements which help students to achieve the language skills. In this study, vocabulary is a list of words which students learn in class based on the present curriculum. Nunan (1989) says


(30)

that vocabulary is more than lists of target language words. As part of the language system, vocabulary intimately interrelated with grammar.

4. First Grade Students of Senior High

First Grade Students of Senior High is defined in KTSP / School Based Curriculum as the X grade students. The first grade student of senior high is about 15 – 16 of age. They are considered to have the basic skill of English from their previous educational level.

5. Computer Assisted Language Learning

“Computer assisted language learning or CALL is defined as the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning” (Levy, 1997: 58). The implementation can be in form of online and offline connection. Online connection is the condition where your computer is connected to the internet “If you have and internet connection, you can use the wide range of online connection” (Ivens, http://books.google.co.id/books?id=wACFGD3cIfoC&pg=PT334&dq=wh at+is+online+connection%3F&lr=). Offline on the other hand is the condition where the computer is not connected to a network of computers or internet service.

6. Software

Software is defined as “Any program or routine or any sequence of machine-readable code that is designed to cause a computer to perform a desired function or set of functions, and the documentation required to describe and maintain that program or routine” (Dickinson,


(31)

(32)

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL REVIEW

This chapter discusses the theories underlying the study. In this chapter, the writer serves two major points of the discussion. The first deals with the Theoretical Description which includes the instructional design, the teaching and learning of vocabulary, the senior high school English curriculum grade X, computer assisted language learning (CALL), and Macromedia Dreamweaver™ application. The second part deals with Theoretical Framework in designing a set of web-based English vocabulary supplementary materials for the first grade students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 9 Yogyakarta.

A. Theoretical Description

This part serves the theoretical background of the instructional design, the teaching and learning of vocabulary, the senior high school English curriculum grade X, computer assisted language learning (CALL), and Macromedia Dreamweaver™ application. The theory of instructional design is be used to show the plan of the instruction used in the design and to give illustration about the elements which are going to be used in the instruction. The theory on vocabulary deals with the teaching and learning of vocabulary and also the theory on Computer assisted Language Learning (CALL). The curriculum presents in this part is the School Based Curriculum or the Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) and it is used as the basis in creating the design.


(33)

1. Instructional Design Model

In this part, the study uses Kemp’s model of instructional design. The

model will contribute to the instructional design in the designing of the instructions used in the study.

a. The Nature of Kemp’s Model

The instructional design approach by Kemp (Kemp, 1977: 8-9) is the model which supplies the approach and procedures in order to design instructions used in all educational level. The design of the approach is the first step before conducting the teaching activities. There are 8 elements that need to be required in planning the instructional design. The eight elements are flexible, meaning that you can start with the element that you are ready with and you can follow the sequence or just pick an element and start to work on it. The eight elements are (a) Goal, Topics, and General Purposes, (b) Learners characteristics, (c) Learning Objectives, (d) Subject Content, (e) Pre-Assessment, (f) Teaching or Learning Activities and Resources, (g) Support Services, and (h) Evaluation. The explanations of the 8 steps are as follows:

1) Goal, Topics, and General Purposes

The designer starts with the goal of the instructional design. The goal is required in developing the educational system to achieve the purpose of the activity. After finding the goal, the next step is to list the topics. The topic then becomes the basis for the instruction. General purposes are used to explain the topic and then to serve the objectives in order to understand more about the instructional design.


(34)

2) Learners characteristics

The importance of knowing learners’ characteristics in the instruction is very important. The information will be a great help in implementing the instruction and to assist the students. Learning learners’ characteristics is by identifying learners’ characteristics, capabilities, needs, interests, etc. That information obtained from the students will affect the choice of topics and sequencing the objectives. Other factors which may affect the design are learning condition and learning style. Learning condition refers to groups of factors that can affect a person’s ability to concentrate, absorb, and retain information. Those learning conditions which are needed to be considered in designing the learning activities are physical environment (light, sound, etc), the emotional environment (responsibility and individual motivation), sociological environment (preference of group work, etc, and students physiology (need of food, weakness and strength). Learning style refers to the method used by students in their learning activities.

3) Learning Objectives

The designer decides that the learning objectives are needed to plan the behavioral objectives that want to be achieved and to be determined in order to fulfill what we want to accomplish with the learning. Objectives are also important to make the students understand about the achievement and the performance of the learning activities. It is also to make the learning activities coherent with the purpose of the study. Objectives are


(35)

the most important part in designing instructional design because it decides the instructional activities in class and roles as the main control of the activities. There are three Objectives in learning; they are cognitive domain, psychomotor domain, and affective domain. Cognitive domain mainly concerns at the area of knowledge or information, and thinking. This area covers the brain which learners use to save their knowledge or information they receive. Psychomotor domain covers the movement part and this part requires the use and coordination of skeletal muscle, and the physical activities hold the role of performing, manipulating, and constructing. While the affective domain concerns about attitudes, appreciations, values, and all emotions.

4) Subject Content

The designer lists the subject content which is closely related to the objectives and the students’ needs. Subject content is considered as the traditional starting point for teachers. Kemp gives four questions to help

selecting the subject content. The four questions are: first, what specifically must be taught or learned in this topic?. This question specifies the materials that the students need to gain the objective. Second, what facts, concepts, and principle relate to this topic?. The question contains about the basis for the process and to make sure that the process that we have is on the appropriate basis. Third, what steps are involved in necessary procedures relating to this topic?, the question implies the sequence of activities applied in the process and to give clear illustration


(36)

about the ‘track’ of the process. Fourth is what techniques are required in performing essential skills? After having all the three criteria above, the designer will have to state the technique or techniques to be used in the process.

5) Pre-Assessment

The designer makes pre-assessment in order to know students’ achievement level on a subject. Pre-assessment is meant to identify students’ knowledge and to help planning the learning activities using the data gained from the pre-test. Pre-assessment also serves as a tool to help teachers organizing learning materials so the students will not waste their time on things they already know. Kemp suggests that it is important to consider on what extent each student has acquired the necessary prerequisites for studying the topic and what the students may have already mastered about the subject to be studied. The designer needs to know the level of the learners before continuing the process, whether they have the prerequisite requirement before stepping to the next level. The second is to make sure that the students will not learn the same thing twice which will be kind of wasting time. By knowing their background knowledge, designer can just simply reinforce the knowledge they already have.

6) Teaching Learning Activities and Resources

The next step is deciding the teaching learning activities and resources that you are going to use in the activity. In the design, need to be noticed that it


(37)

must determine the most efficient and effective methods and then select materials to provide learning experiences that will utilize the content associated with each objective. Choosing the methods and strategies may become something difficult because one method may work for particular students, but if it is used in other group of students, it might not work. Kemp provides 10 principles in learning taken from B.E Skinner and colleagues who both are psychologists. The principles are pre-learning preparation, motivation, individual differences, instructional conditions, active participation, successful achievement, knowledge of results, practice, rate of presenting material, instructors’ attitude

7) Support Services

Support services are the supplementary elements in designing the learning activity. Some designers often neglect the use of services until they are ready to use it. Support services include funds, facilities, equipment, and personnel. Those services are very crucial in the implementation of the program so the program will not be a monotonous program. To use the support services, we need to consider the instructional plan. This is to create a supporting service which will work with the instruction.

8) Evaluation

The designer sets the evaluation to judge students’ achievement on the subject. Evaluation is conducted when the students have finished the purposed materials and they are ready to do the evaluation. Evaluation also used to determine whether an instructor is teaching for high-level


(38)

objectives. Once you are satisfied with the extent and completeness of the learning objective, you are ready to work on ways to evaluate them.

The eight (8) elements are related to one another and they are coherent in terms of the implementation in the instructional activity or learning activity.

2. Teaching and Learning Vocabulary

“The most fundamental guiding principle [for] those who are anxious to be this: Memorize perfectly the largest number

ss attractive. Students often find th

proficient in foreign conversation… is

of common and useful word-groups!” (Palmer as cited by Nunan, 2003, p.130). The statement states that vocabulary teaching and learning is important in the acquisition of any language because of by having sufficient vocabulary, students will be able to acquire the intended language better. The same way will also happen in learning English language, we need to learn the English vocabulary since it is the central point in acquiring the English language and by doing so learners will have greater chances to acquire English language. By understanding the vocabulary used in English, students will find it easier to absorb the materials and if they do, it will motivate them to learn English.

The problem faced in teaching and learning vocabulary is that the materials used in teaching and learning materials are le

at their vocabulary learning activities are boring since the materials and media used are less attractive to students, this situation creates students with less motivation. When students have little motivation toward the activities that they are working with, they will tend to put less attention to the activities. Another problem which is being faced is the lack of exposure. In class, students seldom have vocabulary exercise activities as their vocabulary exposure and they also have little time to practice themselves learning vocabulary during their English learning.


(40)

a. Background to the Teaching of Vocabulary.

In teaching vocabulary, we need to consider four (4) strands of teaching vocabulary; the four strands are (Nunan, 2003, p.133-134):

Deliberate learning is the activity of focusing the vocabulary learning to factors outside the context, like so pronunciation, spelling, gramma

to achieve more vocabulary. Those strategies are

g from context, using word cards, and using dictionaries. Using word parts like prefixes and suffixes to help learner to understand low frequency words. The next strategy is guessing from context. Using high frequency words, the learners are able to guess the words which are included in low frequency words. Cards can also be used to learn vocabulary, learner may use card to write the vocabulary on one side and the other side is for the translation. Then the card is kept and can be used anytime learners want to read or learn the vocabulary. The last strategy is using dictionaries to acquire vocabulary.

Give attention to the high frequency word across the four strands of a course.

The initial step for conducting the vocabulary teaching and learning is

language acquisition. Selecting the vocabulary used in the exercises need careful attention because it will affect the output of the design.

In order to have good selection of words, we need to pay attention to the following steps as proposed by Nation:

1) First, we must exclude all the words that cannot

be, etc). In fact the test will be easier to make if we test only nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

2) Second, after we have excluded the words we cannot test, we must find a good way of choosing the test items from the words left. The best way is to number the words and

There are some criticisms tow

Despite the criticism above, Nation has found some advantages of that using the students’ native language to teach vocabulary. Those advantages are:

1) Translation can de done quickly

The speed of translation is an advantage if teacher wants to pass over an

using students’ native language will be a good way because teacher can save time used to explain the unimportant word so the important word will have greater time to be explained.

3. English Curriculum

“A series of carefully planned and designed activities, events, and experiences intentionally organized and implemented to reach specified objectives and goals…” (Dunst

/books?id=Qkdp_O35Xig

rce=bl&ots=SDwJp7jQf2&sig=Gj0iAm-WQIepmgCua9y60C9Vw&hl=id &ei=ete1SeiYJpz-6QOl7ZSiCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct= result). Curriculum plays major role in learning process because curriculum provides constraints and rules to design syllabi which will be used to develop learning. In designing a syllabus, we need to refer to curriculum in order to create a design which appropriate to the curriculum’s objectives and the level of students.

The latest curriculum is the School Based Curriculum or the Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP). This curriculum requires schools to develop


(46)

their own curriculum which is appropriate to their schools’ condition, this to create an effective curriculum because each school has different condition and demand. By using their own curriculum, the schools can achieve the objectives of learning. KTSP also demands the learning process to be more student-centered, meaning that the materials and activity is directed to help students to be more active and independent. The purposes of KTSP are to develop communicative competence in written and spoken to achieve informational literacy level, to understand the importance of English in order to enhance competitiveness in the global society, and to develop students’ understanding on the correlation between language and culture. From the purpose above we can conclude that KTSP is directing material designers to help learners to understand English language merely not as a new input to their knowledge of language but it is more on how the language connects them to the real world and to broaden their knowledge about the variety of cultures the English language has. KTSP also helps the teaching and learning activities of English to be more effective by not only focusing on how to us English in written and spoken but it gets deeper to that the learners will learn the basic construction of English language through its culture and its use in global scope.

Teaching vocabulary in school using computer as the assisted exercise media will be based on the objectives of KTSP. The implementation of the design will help the students gain more vocabulary which will help them learn English better. The program is designed in order to help students to have more attractive materials which will help them to motivate themselves in learning vocabulary.

The design uses the supplementary materials to indicate its materials since the materials designed in the study are the additional materials to the students’ main materials which they have learned in class. The basis for developing the supplementary materials is to help the students to have more exposure on their o, the writer designs materials which accomodates ogram is also designed to help students to have more exposure to vocabulary materials in form of exercises. It is also to help students to compete in global society. By having broader knowlegde of vocabulary, students will be easier absorbing new vocabulary in English since they have already had the competence.

In this study the writer made use of the School Based Curriculum or Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) for the first grade students of senior high school to acquint the design with the objectives stated in KTSP. The purpose is to help the students to achieve the same result and to ease them in learning the v

ning in class.

a. The Advantages of Computer in Language Teaching

The use of computer in language teaching offers several advanteges as stated by Kenning (Kenning, 1983, p.2-3). The advantages are:

2) It guides the learners toward the correct answers and material to his or her performance

3) It offers privacy, which relieves learners from the f for the mistakes by their classmates.

4) Computer is patient and will tirelessly go over the same points for as long as is necessary

b. The Role of Teachers and Computer in CALL

computers incorporate the areas known to be relev

hauer and Healey, 1998, p.63). Using computer to acquire English language is by means of CALL. CALL is one of the form which computer is applied in the language teaching and learning. the use of CALL provides the learning activities with a program/software to enhance the learning process. Computer in CALL is developed to help students by providing independent exercises and useful feedbacks. The materials and exercises used in CALL are made on the basis of students’ level. The process in CALL promotes learners to be independent with their learning process and helps providing enough practises.

The role of computer in call is divided into 3 functions, as tutor, tool, and tutee.

as tutee helps both teachers and students to create a program which supplies their needs, this will need sufficient programming skill. The role of computer in learning process will influence the process and also the output of the learning.

The role of teachers in Computer Assisted Language Learning is not completely being omitted.

As the name Computer-Assisted Language Learning suggests it is learning. Its role in education is that of a medium. Far from threatening example, it is unable to created educational materials without a hum direct it. All the language material and instructions for its presen must be specified by

Teachers as contributor contributes to the process of learning by providing suggestions, and additional explanation which computer does not include in the program. While, the role of teacher as authors is based on the reason that teachers can use other programs or create their own program. In teachers as authors, the teachers design their own program which based on the real situation of the learning environment and later, the materials included in the program can be appropriate to the learning process. The process of authoring program will need sufficient programming skill in order to create a program with quality. Farrington proposed a model to understand more about the role of teachers in Computer Assisted Language Learning. The model is:

The role of teacher in CALL is important since teachers provide things that computer do not.

While the computer is able to accommodate a substantial range of learning still some s

The implementation of website evaluation done by teachers or other experts is consider important before using the website or the software in class, this is because they have to clearly make sure that the website they are going to use in class will supply good quality of teaching and learning activities.
