Abstract:
This study dealt with the implementation of Computer-Multimedia for
teaching Descriptive Text. The objectives of this study is the class X MIPA
students at SMA PGRI 12 MEDAN, which will be implemented from 02nd
February 2023 to 31st March 2023. As the data, mixed methods, namely
descriptive qualitative methods and quantitative methods are used in this study.
Questionnaires and the interview guide line were the instrument used in the
research to obtain the data. The data from the questionnaires were analyzed
quantitatively and the data from the interview were investigated qualitatively. The
first stage of the research was conducting need analysis. The result of the need
analysis showed that the students needed materials for writing skills which were
attractive and interesting and based on their study background. Based on the
questionnaire that was distributed to students there were 10 questions that were
asked then I found 8 needs of students in the English learning process, especially
descriptive text material, namely goals, wants, procedure, lacks, the involvement
of technology (computer-multimedia), needs, learners' roles , settings. which of
the 8 types of student needs in learning English can be concluded that the need for
material that can help develop vocabulary, grammar and text structure is what
they want to focus on most in writing, meanwhile to stimulate students' interest in
learning English in particular They chose to use audio and illustrations for their
descriptive text material so that the use of multimedia computers really helps
students in the learning process. Based on the interviews conducted with teachers
it turns out that there are still many students who pay less attention to learning
material by making noise so that the teacher only focuses on students who really
want to follow the instructions given by the teacher in the learning process. While
the results of interviews conducted with students shows that the methods used in
the learning process were less interesting, so that students felt easily bored.
