Abstract

Multimedia courseware is one of the media to improve the teaching and learning process. The principles of multimedia learning should be viewed as instructional methods with its primary goal to foster meaningful learning.

A quasi-experimental method will be used in this study. The study sample involves 80 students of semester 1 from KPM Bandar Penawar , Johor. The sample is divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Each group consists of 40 students. To identify the effectiveness of the courseware, the patterns of students’ answers in both tests will be collected and analyzed through pre and post-tests in the evaluation phase. The questionnaire instrument will be used to investigate students’ and teachers’ perception towards the courseware. Also, in this research we will develop an English courseware for teaching basic tenses for KPM students. Hopefully, this courseware will motivate English teachers to develop their own courseware by designing, preparing content and delivering learning materials to assist students in understanding the concepts of learning English tenses using technology.
