Background of The Study

Education has a crucial part in the improvement of a country. Because of that, the
government makes strides in the quality of education in Indonesia. The government has made
genuine endeavors to make strides in the quality of education. Those endeavors are changing the
educational modules, progressing teachers' abilities, and giving the media for educating learning
handle. The government anticipates that those endeavors can make the teaching-learning handle
run well and increment students' accomplishments. (Languages, 2011)

Instructing all subjects needs learning media to create the teaching-learning process
easily and curiously. English could be an outside dialect that ought to be discovered by
Indonesian students. English education emphasizes the advancement of dialect aptitudes, i.e.,
perusing, tuning in, talking, and composing. As a portion of the schools' subjects, Indonesian
students should learn English through the four aptitudes' dominance. Be that as it may, it isn't
simple to ace it since they experience numerous challenges. Those challenges show up since of
multiple causes. English is difficult to learn in a few cases since it has diverse linguistic
structures from Bahasa Indonesia or students' mother tongue. Subsequently, the teachers ought to
make English learning simple and curiously. In this case, the teachers can utilize the
advancement of Data and Communication Innovation (ICT), such as interactive learning media,
for teaching and learning activities.

There are numerous points of interest of intelligently learning media within the English
teaching-learning prepare. Who will propel the students to memorize English since they will not
be bored? Moment, the students can effectively comprehend and get the materials since the
English interactive learning media can give video, movement, illustrations, and sound. By
utilizing video and sound, they can tune in to the materials from the local speakers
straightforwardly. In this manner, they can make strides their tuning in, talking, and
pronunciation. Third, the students can learn autonomously, at whatever point and where ever
they need. The final is that the English teachers will have variety in educating to dodge repetitive
teaching-learning handle.

The English teachers have difficulties finding the English interactive learning media
appropriate to the students' needs. Even if the teachers find them, the price is too high. That is
why most teachers teach English by using textbooks and LKS (Lembar Kerja Siswa). Therefore,
some everyday activities are still listening to the teachers' explanation and reading the materials.
These conditions bring effects to the students. For example, the students have low motivation
and get bored in learning English. Besides, they have low achievement in all English skills,
including listening skills. There is no positive effect on the students' listening skills, although
they often listen to their explanations. It is because the teachers seldom use English in the
teaching-learning process.

The English teachers in MTs Nidzamiyah Ploso do not face any problem related to the
provided technology, including in Grade VII. There are a computer and LCD in each class in
Grade VII. However, most English teachers still face difficulties finding the English interactive
learning media appropriate to their needs. Moreover, MTs Nidzamiyah does not have any
English interactive learning media.

Therefore, the researcher is interested in developing English interactive learning media


for students at Grade VII in MTs Nidzamiyah Ploso as supporting media in the teaching-learning
process.

B. Identification of the Problem

Who cannot separate the teaching-learning process from five components? Those
components are the students, teachers, materials, methods, and media. In expansion, those
components bring impacts to the viability of teaching-learning handle.

1. Students

Students have diverse intrigued, capacity, and behavior. These will influence their
accomplishment in learning English. There are a few variables that impact the students
within the classroom. Inspiration is the actual figure within the learning handle within the
school. The students who have high motivation will be dynamic, but the students who have
common reasons will be inactive and aggravate the others. Therefore, utilizing the curious
media in learning English will be one of the intelligent arrangements for this issue. One of
the exciting media is the use of computers within the classroom. Computer as the intuitively
learning medium can spur the students to memorize English effectively and interests. Thus,
it can move forward the students' accomplishments.

2. Teacher
In the teaching-learning process, two components specifically relate to each other. They
are the teachers and the students. An educator may be an individual who can donate jolt to the
students to do instructional tasks. Teachers play a critical part within the teaching-learning
handle. Teachers' competence and execution bolster the teaching-learning handle. Moreover,
they are influenced by numerous components, for case instruction foundation, capacities, and
encounter within the lesson.
As teachers, they need to design the teaching-learning handle to arrange to create it
curiously and agreeable. In any case, most of the teachers don't have variety in educating
English. After that, the teachers clarify the materials and inquire the students to do a few
works out. That's why the students get bored within the teaching-learning preparation. In this
manner, the teachers require intuitively learning media to form the teaching-learning handle
curiously and pleasant. However, the teachers still confront issues related to the utilize of
intuitively teaching media. There's no provided technology within the school. Moment, the
English teachers have trouble discovering English learning media suitable to the students'
needs.
3. Materials
Materials have a critical portion within the learning accomplishment. The students will be
interested in the off chance that they are given suitable and curiously materials. Excellent
materials contain writings, agreeable exercises, and openings for learners to utilize their
current information and skills. However, a few teachers don't select the materials which fit the
syllabus. They still use the content book that, in some cases, does not satisfy the standard of
competency and fundamental of competency. Therefore, the teachers should select suitable
materials based on their level, the students' needs, and the language teaching targets.
4. Methods
The educating strategy influences the teaching-learning handle and its result. In any case,
there's no one best strategy for all circumstances. It implies that the plan will fit specific
exercises but may not be suitable for another movement. This strategy will be fitting to
educate tuning in, talking, and elocution. Be that as it may, it may not be appropriate to
educate perusing and composing. Therefore, the teachers got to apply the proper strategy to
attain the teaching-learning targets. The suitable teaching method will keep the students'
consideration within the classroom. Subsequently, Who can accomplish the learning targets.
5. Media
Media play a vital part in the teaching-learning process. The use of media within the
classroom encourages the students to learn. Other than that, the teachers can clarify the
materials effortlessly and maintain a strategic distance from the repetitive teaching-learning
preparation. Subsequently, the teachers ought to utilize various media or teaching to give the
materials to the students.
Media can be within the shape of anything from a fundamental question to the progressed
innovation such as computers, counting English intelligently learning media. In this case, the
English intelligently learning media can encourage the teachers to display the materials. In
expansion, the English intuitively knowing media can persuade students to memorize English.
In MTs Nidzamiyah Ploso, each class in Grade VII already has a computer and LCD to
facilitate the teaching-learning process. Therefore, it is good to apply the English interactive
learning media as supporting learning sources in the teaching-learning process.

C. Limitation of the Problem

There are many problems in the teaching-learning process. They are related to the
students, teachers, materials, methods, and media. However, this study would focus on
developing English interactive learning media for students in Grade VII semester one because
English interactive learning media facilitates and motivates students to learn English. Besides,
the English teachers will have variation in teaching.

The researcher takes only the students of class VII of MTs Nidzamiyah as the study
subjects because they already have their notebook that What can use to implement English
interactive learning media. Moreover, the school provides a computer and LCD in Grade VII as
supporting facilities in the teaching-learning process.
D. Formulation of the Problem
The problems formulated in the following questions:
1. What are the effective design criteria of English interactive learning media for students at
grade VII of MTs Nidzamiyah Ploso?
2. What is the practical design of English interactive learning media for students at grade VII of
MTs Nidzamiyah Ploso?

E. Objectives of the Research


The objectives of this study are as follows:
1. To find out the criteria of the practical design of English interactive learning media for
students at grade VII of MTs Nidzamiyah Ploso
2. To develop the practical design of English interactive learning media for students at grade
VII of MTs Nidzamiyah Ploso

F. Significances of the Research


That the result of this study would give some contributions to:
1. the English teachers, it will enable them to teach English easily and interestingly
2. the researcher herself, it can increase knowledge and experience in preparing herself as a
teacher who uses technology (computer-based) as media in teaching English
