RPP, Syllabus, teaching materials for learning, language assessment, and etc.

teacher must design a more creative and innovative learning strategy and

choose suitable media for learning.

Based on three related studies above, every related research has results

about the use of learning media in teaching English, and can be used as a
 reference for researchers to develop this research. Several techniques were

found as thoughts is : observation, interviews, and documentation. Data

collection techniques used by previous researchers had a positive impact

because they had the same method as this study. For additional results from

previous research, this research will develop the use of learning media in

teaching English.
