DEVELOPING ENGLISH INTERACTIVE LEARNING MEDIA FOR STUDENTS AT GRADE VII OF SMP N 8 YOGYAKARTA By: Efriliana Nurhidayati 06202244100 ABSTRACT This study aims is to find out the criteria of the effective design of English interactive learning media and to develop the effective design of English interactive learning media for students at grade VII of SMP N 8 Yogyakarta. This study is a Research and Development (R and D). It was conducted at SMP N 8 Yogyakarta. The instrument in the research is questionnaires. There were two questionnaires used in the research. The data from the first questionnaire were analyzed qualitatively. Meanwhile, the data from the second questionnaire were analyzed quantitatively. The research procedure adapted ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model that was commonly used in developing interactive learning media. In analysis step, the observation and needs analysis were conducted. The design step was selecting topics and objectives, designing the course grid, and the materials. The development step was designing the flowchart and the storyboard, developing the media, and validating by experts. In the validating steps, the material expert evaluated the quality of the materials while the media expert evaluated the quality of the program design. The implementation step is a step where the researcher tested the media to the students and the teachers to find out the quality of the media. The English interactive learning media was reviewed and revised according to any feedback given. The implementation involved 27 students and 3 English teachers. They were asked to give feedback to the English interactive learning media by filing out the questionnaire. The evaluation step dealt with revisions and discussion based on the result of the result of the try out. Revisions were made as necessary based on the data obtained. The English interactive learning media has some features. They are Direction, Materials (Achievement Indicators, Start to Units, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation), Evaluation, Developers and References. The criteria for the design quality are categorized into three aspects: content aspect, media aspect, and interactivity aspect. The results of the program are called effective and feasible to apply if the obtained score mean for content aspect was more than 28; the media aspect was more than 45.5; the interactivity aspect was more than 17.5. In conclusion, the developed English interactive learning media is appropriate and feasible to be used in the teaching-learning process. The English interactive learning media that has been produced is integrated in a compact disc (CD) that can be used by the students at schools and homes
