economic class, most of the students in this school are from the middle to the
lower level, and about 60%-70% of the students‘ parents work abroad, but the
students have good motivations and interests to learn. E-learning applications
offer a learning method that allows the learning process to be carried out
remotely. This phenomenon touched the world of education and training with
the launching of E-learning Madrasah. This school has an interesting form of
E-learning media, it is E-learning Madrasah application which is used as a
medium for English language teaching. This application is facilitated by the
Ministry of religion (Kemenag), and it is the thing that makes this school is
different from the other public schools. Those are the reasons why the
researcher interested to choose that school to be researched. The researcher
wanted to know the use of e-learning media in English language teaching of
this school. Previously, there have been a lot of previous researches related to
this discussed about E-learning media in English language teaching. Related
to this, the researcher intended to conduct a research under the title ”The Use
of E-learning Media In English Language Teaching At 7th Grade Students
In MTs Ma’arif NU 1 Wangon”.
B. Conceptual Definition
1. Technology-Based Media
Technology provides so many options, such as making teaching
becomes more interesting and productive in the term of improvement.7
Technology-based media in learning is seen as a form of physical
communication equipment in the form of hardware and software which is
a small part of learning technology that must be created (designed and
developed), used and managed (evaluated) to achieve effectiveness and
efficiency in English teaching.8 Technology has an important role in
promoting activities for learners and has a significant effect on teachers‘
teaching methods. Technology-based media has greatly changed the

CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL REVIEW
A. Technology-Based Media
1. Definition of Technology Based Media
Teachers need to learn to use computer technology for constructing
and implementing materials for teaching and assessing English, and they
need to engage in innovative teaching and assessments through the use of
technology.12 Technology is now accepted as an important educational and
tool in generall, it is particularly true of English language teaching since it
affords a number of potential opportunities to enhance both the content
and delivery of the pedagogies typically associated with traditional
English language instruction.13
Costley, Murphy, DePasquale & McNamara stated that Technology-
based media is an effective tool for learners. Learners must use technology
as a significant part of their learning process. Teachers should model the
use of technology to support the curriculum so that learners can increase
the true use of technology in learning their language skills.14 Technology-
based media is a tool that has an important role to play in supporting
foreign language teachers and facilitating language learning for students.
Technology can play an important role as a media to assist teachers in
their knowledge and expertise as quality teachers and improve language
learning for students, especially in English language teaching and learning.
2. Definition of TELL in ELT
According to Patel, TELL (Technology Enhanced Language
Learning) deals with the impact of technology on teaching and learning a
second language. Technology-enhanced language learning (TELL)
suggests ―to the use of the computer as a technological innovation to

learning process were not always optimal and even though numerous
learning theories postulated the soundest methodologies to employ, the
final product left much to be desired. To such ends distance learning and
eventually e-learning inherited such challenges in addition to an already
herculean mission to simulate and match the human counterpart. If this
was not enough a supplementary technological overhead intensifies the
issues and challenges that need to be overcome.
The electronic factor mentioned earlier that differentiates distance
learning from e-learning is nothing more than the technological
component that enabled the shift from distance learning to the first
generation of e-learning. Technological evolutions that over the years have
enabled the web to develop further have surely altered the medium
employed and as a consequence provoked a respective development and
expected progression in the e-learning camp.20
2. E-learning media in ICT
E-learning refers to the use of information and communication
technologies to enable the access to online learning/teaching resources.
Based on Palloff and Pratt stated that ―Electronic learning or e-Learning is
a general term used to refer to computer-based learning‖. He believes that
e-Learning has introduced a whole new set of physical, emotional and
psychological issues along with educational issues. Clark asserts that ―e-
Learning is a general term covering many different approaches that have in
common the use of information and communication technology‖. Even
though there are many other terms for e-learning, its ICT- based nature is
unchanged. According to Jones puts it this way, ―e-learning, digital
learning, computer enhanced learning, no matter which tag is applied, all
aim to exploit web-based technology to improve learning for students‖.21

5. Component of E-learning
According to Beatrice, there are some component of e-learning
include e-learning contents, e-tutoring, collaborative learning and virtual
classroom.
a. E-learning contents
E-learning contents include simple learning resources,
interactive e-lesson and electronic simulation. Simple learning
resource is non- interactive resources such as documents, power point
presentation, video or audio files. So, the students can only read or
watch the content. Next is interactive e-lesson. Interactive e-lesson is
sequence of screens that include text, animations, graphics
interactivity in the form of question and feedback, also include
recommend reading a specific topic and electronic simulation.
Electronic simulation is a specific form of web-based training that
brings the students in real a world.
b. E-tutoring
E-tutoring is an individual teacher who support and gives
feedback to the students through online tools. E-tutoring helps the
students to improve their performance by improving understanding,
responding to the students problems, challenging the students and
providing feedback. According to Donald there are some
combinations in e-tutoring such as e-tutoring as administrator, e-
tutoring as facilitator, e-tutoring as subject matter expert and e-
tutoring as assessor.
c. Collaborative learning
Collaborative learning is learning discussion and sharing
knowledge to work together on a common project. In collaborative
learning, the students use social software such as chats, discussion
forums and blog to collaborate among students. Online discussion is
design to facilitate communication and knowledge-sharing among the
18
students. The students can comment and exchange ideas about the
lesson in learning by sharing their knowledge.
d. Virtual Classroom
Virtual classroom is an e-learning that an instructor teaches
remotely and in a real time to students group using a combination of
materials for example power point slides, audio or video materials. A
virtual classroom not only makes the learning materials available to
the students but also provides a live, contextual and interactive
environment for the students. In virtual classroom there are several
online tools include online calendars, online help guides, online
assessments books, examinations, emails, instants messages,
discussion boards, chat rooms and file transfers. According to Yang,
virtual classroom facilitates active learning with the provision of
enabling environment consisting of the learning tools, learning
materials and opportunities for contextual discussion.26
6. The Use of E-Learning Tools of in English Language Teaching
These tools have been touted as potentially powerful enabling tools
for educational change and reform as they are making marked inroads into
the combination of digital technologies and English language learning and
teaching;
a. Internet
Internet is not merely a source of authentic material in English
but also a source of information in the form of articles, courses,
conferences and many more. The teacher can send assignments to the
students through e-mails and can also take online exams. Parents can
view their student's work online at any time. Students do not miss
their lessons as now they can see a web cam version online and get
worksheets and notes from electronic online whiteboards. Schools are
linked in a network and work on projects together and prepare
26

Learning at SMP Islam Al azhar 13 Surabaya”.…..p.9-10.
19
materials online. Every school has got its own website. Many software
are also available on Internet that students can use free of cost.
b. Using YouTube
YouTube videos can be used in an ELT classroom for various
aspects of English as to enhance vocabulary, accents, pronunciations,
voice modulation and many more. The real advantage of using
YouTube in teaching English is that it offers authentic examples of
everyday English used by everyday people. The teacher can use it as a
tool for improving their Listening and Speaking, Reading and Writing
skills. The teacher can select a part of the movie appropriate to the
level of the students can show those movie clippings to the students.
For the first time, the teacher can mute the volume and ask the
students to watch the movie attentively. Later the teacher can ask the
students to watch the movie once again and this time the students can
ask the students to frame the dialogues of the movie clippings
simultaneously. This will improve their speaking skills. Another
activity to enhance their speaking skills can be the teacher can show a
selected part of the movie to the students and further ask them to
narrate the rest of the story of the movie or the climax of the movie.
This will add to their creativity as well as their speech.
c. Skype
Using Skype provides unlimited possibilities for the teachers
and students to collaborate with each other anywhere in the world. It
provides immense opportunities for the students in a foreign language
class to connect with classes in other countries to practice their
language skills. Through Skype the teachers can provide mentoring or
homework help to the learners. The students can read, present, or
perform for other students and also collaborate with other students on
writing or research projects. They can also participate in professional
development activities within or outside the school district.
20
d. Twitter
Twitter, a gift of technology, is a social networking application
that could help in improving students‘ English to a greater extent. As
an online education technology tool, twitter‘s impact on engaging
students in learning concepts is unlimited. The teacher can use a dozen
activities for using an online education technology tool to engage
students in classroom activities to develop a better understanding of
concepts. The teacher can select any genre for the story and begin the
activity with a story opener which is tweeted to the students for
contribution to the story line. Once all twitter network participants
have contributed to the development of the story line, the teacher can
analyze their work. This involves editing, story structure, creative
writing, and proper use of grammar. The teacher can ask the students
to select a word of the week and tweet it around the network
requesting synonyms, homonyms, and antonyms of the word. Once all
responses are received, the teacher can check them for accuracy and
develop a link of the difficult words for strengthening the vocabulary
of the students.
e. Smart-boards
Interactive whiteboards are good replacements for traditional
whiteboards or flipcharts as they provide ways to show students
everything which can be presented on a computer's desktop
(educational software, web sites, and others). SMART boards help
teachers use a student-centered approach to teach language arts.
Language arts teachers can use SMART Boards to improve reading
and comprehension, and teach grammar and writing. With a SMART
Board, teachers can combine video, audio, Web browsing and word
processing to teach students interactively.
f. Mobile Phones
The use of mobile phones as a learning tool has a wide variety
of applications. The teacher can ask the students to make a photo
21
27

22
b. It is possible for students to continue to learn even though they are not
physically present in the classroom.
c. Allows students and teachers to share information or opinions about
learning material so that they can optimize the face-to-face time
available to concentrate on the material.
d. Improve the quality and performance of teachers by developing better
learning models and learning materials that are easy for students to
understand and learn.28
C. E-Learning Media in English Language Teaching
1. E-Learning Madrasah Application
a. Definition E-learning Madrasah
E-learning Madrasah is a free application for Madrasah
products, created by the Ministry of Religion which is intended to
support the learning process in Madrasas, starting from Madrasah

era as in industrial revolution 4.0 that the teachers are required to have
the expertise, ability to adapt to new technologies and global
challenges.31
b. Google Classroom in English Language Teaching
Google Classroom makes the leaning activities become more
productive and meaningful by making simple assignments, improving
collaboration, and construct communication. Teacher may make the
class, giving assessment, sending input, and looking all the leaning
activities in one place. Classroom also integrated with Google fitures
namely Google document and dive. Google Classroom is closed
application that only allows the students who invited to join into
Google Classroom with specific code. These are some fitures in
Google Classroom those are, the steam, students, about, create an
assignment, upcoming assignments, show deleted comments, class
code, change class theme, and menu. Here are five benefits of Google
Classroom:
1) It can be pepaed easily. The educatos can pepae the classroom and
invite the students. On page of assignment class, teacher and
student may sharing the information, tasks, question, and material.
2) Saving the time and paper. Educator can make the class, giving
assessments, communicating, and manage the class in one place.
3) A good managing. Student may see the assessment in student
assessment‘ page, classroom, or class calendar. All the materials

the student who collected the assignment and have not collected the
assignment and giving the grade or feedback to the student directly.
5) Related with the others application. Classroom related with Google
docs, calendar, Gmail, Drive, and Google Forms.32
According to James T. Cains, Google Classroom enables
teachers to create an online classroom area in which they can manage
all the documents that their students need. Teachers can make
assignments from within the class, which their students complete and
turn in to be graded. The teacher can see that the classroom has six
main tabs. There are what the tab means:
1) Stream: This is where you manage your class assignments and
make announcements to the class. You can add new assignments,
with due dates and attached materials. Upcoming assignments are
shown at the left. Also, just with social media services, you can
send a message to your entire class even with an attachment.
2) Students: This is where you manage your students. You can
invite students to your classroom from here and manage their
permissions level. To invite students to your class, you have to set
them up as Google Contacts in your Google Apps for Education
account or they have to be in the school‘s directory.
3) About: This is where you can add the course title and description,
add a location for the class, and add materials to your class‘s
Google Drive folder.
4) Add a new class: Just like on the Welcome screen, you can add a
new class by clicking the plus sign in the top left next to your
username.
5) Rename or archive a class: Click the three stacked dots next to
the class name to either rename the class or archive it. Archiving
a class means that, though you and your students can still access

the class, no one can add assignments or make any other changes
to the class. The class will move under the Archived section of
the Home menu. Don‘t worry, though; you can restore the
archived class at any time by viewing Archived classes, clicking
the three stacked dots, and choosing Restore.
6) Access Google Drive for the class: Click the file folder icon in
the bottom right corner of the class tile. This opens the Google
Drive where all your classroom materials are stored.33
3. WhatsApp in English Language Teaching
WhatsApp is a free messaging application that operates through
various platforms and is commonly used by students to share multimedia
messages such as images, videos, and audios along with simple text
messages. WhatsApp is available to communicate with students and
teachers online, send an image, text, or even voice to each other. Besides,
almost all students now also use WhatsApp on their smartphones to
communicate globally. The simplicity offered by WhatsApp makes it
easier for students to use the app since they typically use it daily. In
language learning, Kartal investigated empirical studies related to
WhatsApp and language learning. The results showed that the studies
concluded WhatsApp could be used to enhance students‘ language
proficiency, motivation, attitudes, learning autonomy, and reduce their
anxiety. WhatsApp is a famous social media platform used by students
nowadays. With the features within, WhatsApp can be developed and
modified to be an acceptable, effective learning media in online
classrooms. The modifying WhatsApp with auto-responder made the
online assessment more objective, accountable, transparent, easy-to access,
and easy-to-operate for both teacher and students. WhatsApp Auto-
response could encourage students‘ autonomous learning because they

could directly know their scores and the discussion of each question. Thus,
students had more interest and motivation to get a higher score.34
There are two ways that can be applied by the teacher; Dependent
on Conversations and Independent Conversations. To apply the use of
WhatsApp applications, first Pre-Activity, in this phase the teacher must
have mental and physical preparation and before starting the lesson say
hello, ask conditions, give motivation, checking attendance lists, and
giving warmth to students. The second phase is the main activity, in this
phase the teacher asks students about what they know based on the warmth
that the teacher has given, and then gives an explanation of the material
and starts applying the WhatsApp application as a media of teaching. The
teacher as a facilitator must also be able to use WhatsApp use according to
the needs of students in the classroom, so students become active students.
So, the teacher must be able to run several effective ways so that the use of
the WhatsApp application in the classroom can take place well and support
students learning activities.
According to Kheryadi stated that the implementation of using
WhatsApp as one of the tools that are useful to help students in
communicative language learning. This media can help students to build
confidence and motivate them to learn. And students state that they feel
confident, independent, enthusiastic, and have a positive attitude to
learning English using the application, and therefore, WhatsApp is one of
the latest technologies that help language teaching. Ajid also said that
students cannot be separated by their cellphones. They do a lot of things on
their cellphones like sending text, audio messages, uploading and
uploading pictures and videos or just browsing. Collaborative learning
uses a collaborative tool by combining student collaboration and the use of
mobile applications such as WhatsApp, which can optimize cellphone
functions for student learning processes to which greatly help teachers in

in the school. In this research, the researcher did the observation by online
to gain the data related to the use of E-Learning Media in English language
teaching at the 7th grade students in MTs Ma'arif NU 1 Wangon.
To obtain valid data, especially in online observation, the
researcher should join the e-learning process by joining a group to track
and observe the learning process. The researcher used participant
observation model (passive participant) in which the researcher presented
at the scene of an action but the researcher did not interact and participate
with the subject of the research. The researcher conducted this research
observation during teaching and learning English process both in class and
e-learning process, so that the researcher knew the use of E-Learning
media in English language teaching and the teacher's challenges in using
E-Learning media. In addition, the researcher investigated this research to
develop students' abilities related to their participation in discourse.
Besides, it also aimed to monitor the English teacher in using the
application and E-learning media in the English language teaching. The
researcher also did an observation with the teacher, started from observing
and watching the use E-Learning media in English learning. Thus, the use
of E-learning media can be seen. The observation instruments were in the
form of smartphone for joining the e-learning process and researcher note.

The teacher also stated that using WhatsApp could help the use of
the other E-learning media, as well as communication and student
character indicators, even though teacher can only monitor them by seeing
their activity in the group starting from when the teacher and students
communicate each other via chats, voice notes and videos when needed.
This is used to monitor students and give feedback to students. The teacher

Third, based on the picture above the teacher shared the lesson plan
that had been prepared before the learning process begun to the students,
then uploaded and saved it in the learning plan tab. Then, the teacher sent
the material using E-learning madrasah and put some texts on the timeline
by greeting students first. In the situation of pandemic Covid-19, teachers
used online learning plan that made easier for teachers and students to do
E-learning in English language teaching.
Fourth, the teacher sent the material to students in teaching
material tab. Students would get a notification from E-learning madrasah
and saw the material in teaching materials tab. Then, students download
the material and read it. In this case, the teacher should make learning
material that is interesting and creative, such as by using various videos,
pictures and interesting power points, so that students became more
motivated to learn it. That is shown in the picture below:
53
b. Learning Process
First, the teacher used WhatsApp application as the e-learning
media. The teacher sent a message to the class group, then greeted and
sent the link docs.google.com to fill students‘ attendance. Students
were expected to always on WhatsApp group to fill the attendance. In
addition, in sending students‘ attendance link, the teacher reminded
students that they should prepare themselves to open E-learning media
used. Then, the teacher also reminded students about their assignments
and the material that the teacher sent in E-learning Madrasah. That is
shown in the picture below:
54
c. Evaluation
For evaluation, the teacher chose E-learning media using Google
classroom. Evaluation is a task to collect student work and provide
input and value to students. When creating assignments, the teacher
provided specific instructions for the assignment, its deadline, and
topic. In the stream tab, the teacher could manage class assignments
and make announcements to the class. The teacher could add new
assignments with the due dates and attached materials. Upcoming
assignments were shown at the left. Also, just with social media
services, the teacher could send a message to students‘ entire class
even with an attachment. By including the due date for the assignment,
students had up to 23:59 on the date to submit their work for that
assignment. If they turn in the work late, Google Classroom still
56
accepts the assignment, but indicated that the assignment is late. The
teacher could add files to the assignment created and add files from a
computer or smartphone, such as files from Google Drive, google
form, google site, or a link to a website.
Students could submit any type of file to google classroom, not just
Google Docs. The teacher could open them directly from the
Classroom that was class 7A and gave the score there. Teachers and
students could open the files that were sent to the class as long as the
computers and smartphones connected to Internet connection and the
software needed to open the file. For example, the teacher could assign
essays and students could submit completed essays to assignments that
the teacher created in Google Classroom from any computer with
internet connection. Then, the teacher could open the file and give its
score on the computer at school or at home. Google Classes acts like
"Dropbox" for assignments. Students no longer need to print their
work and physically hand it over to the teacher. This makes it easier to
use e-learning media in English language teaching. That is shown in
the picture below:

students. Users can also give their comments and share their ideas in
chat feature apart from students.41
Third, Google classroom is a platform that can help students in
learning process, this is related to the research by Mike Okmawati
which stated that this Platform can be a solution to complete the
teaching-learning process during distance learning. Google Classroom
makes students to be more independent, engaged and motivated
because most of young learners tend to use technology in their daily
life. Google Classroom makes the leaning activities become more
productive and meaningful by making simple assignments, improving
collaboration, and construct communication. Teachers are able to
make classes, giving assessment, sending input, and looking all the
leaning activities in one place. Classroom also integrated with Google
fitures such as Google document and Google Drive.42 Even though
Google Classroom has many features that can be utilized, the English
teacher of MTs Ma‘arif NU 1 Wangon only utilized it for evaluating
students, such as posting assigment and assessment. The use of this
Google classroom in E-learning media also have several benefits as
follows;
1) It can be prepared easily. The educator can prepare the classroom
and invite students. On the page of assignment class, teacher and
students may share information, tasks, question, and material.
2) Saving time and paper. Educators can make classes, give
assessments, communicate with students, and manage class in one
place.

CHAPTER V
CLOSING
A. Conclusion
Based on the result of the data analysis that have been explained above,
it can be concluded as follows:
1. The English teacher of MTs Ma‘arif NU 1 Wangon implemented the E-
learning media in English language teaching. The E-learning media were
in the form of E-learning Madrasah, Google Classsroom, and WhatsApp.
Every one of them has their own functions. WhatsApp was used by the
teacher to communicate with students, such as giving information,
announcement, and reminding students. E-learning Madrasah was used
by the teacher to deliver material. Meanwhile, Google Classroom was
used by the teacher only to administer evaluation, such as giving
assigments and assessment.
2. In teaching English using E-learning media, the English teacher of MTs
Ma‘arif NU 1 Wangon faced some challenges. First, the teacher should
understand the concept the learning how to utilize and apply of E-learning
media. Second, E-learning media are sometimes difficult to access by
students that made teacher difficult to teach students. Third, the teacher
cannot have direct communication with students that made teacher
difficult to know characteristic of her students by person. Fourth, not all
the competences and material can be delivered well. Fifth, the result of
students learning may be not objective since teacher cannot monitor
students immediately. The last, the teacher should be creative and
innovative in teaching students so that students are interested and
motivated to learn.
B. Suggestion
Based on the conclusion above, the researcher expected that this thesis
can be useful for teacher, students, and other researchers.
