Using of Pearson English Learning Media to Improve Students' English Language Skills through Tutorial Model Learning

Adnan Syah Sitorus, Andi Prastowo

Abstract


Learning media has a significant impact on making students understand learning materials and motivating students to learn. Along with technology development, education must incorporate technology into the learning process to facilitate the achievement of learning goals. However, the learning media used in Indonesia is still very little, especially technology-based learning media. This study aims to introduce a technology-based learning media that is still rarely used in Indonesia, Pearson English. Based on the benefits that Pearson English has, it can be an innovation in creating technology-based learning media in other learning.. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with interview and documentation data collection techniques. The data analysis techniques are data reduction, data display, and conclusion. This study also uses triangulation techniques as a test of data validity. Pearson English is a technology-based learning media managed by Mentari Bangsa, which has many features that can be used to improve student's English skills, such as learning materials, learning videos and audio, learning tutorials, and practice questions. Pearson English can improve students' English skills at Batari Medan School through the various features available.
