INTRODUCTION
English has four language skills. They are reading, listening, speaking, and
writing. Reading is one of the fourth skills in English. Speaking and writing include
language production, they are productive skills. On the other hand, listening and reading
involve accepting the message, so they are as receptive skills (Harmer, 1989: 16).
Reading may be one of the important skills in learning English. Reading consists of two
processes, word recognition, and comprehension (Elizabeth, 2013: 6). A reader must
conceive the reading for the purpose, it needs a practical and exact method. When
people talk about reading, it automatically related to comprehension. In order to make
students good in reading comprehension, teachers may use not only textbooks but also
use multimedia learning. There are many methods to teach English, we choose one of
the methods by using interactive learning media. It is applying software multimedia
learning namely Lectora Inspire. Lectora Inspire is an authoring tool which can be
easily used by any common teachers and lecturers to make contents of interactive
learning media. Lectora Inspire it familiar with us who have known and mastering
Microsoft Office (Mas'ud, 2012:3). The important of Lectora Inspire help in the
learning process because in the natural learning is the process of communication. These
processes make true by explaining communication and exchange message from the
teacher to the students; the messages are knowledge, skill, ability, idea, and experience
that showed to the student by Lectora Inspire. Use media based technology in this cases
utilization of Lectora Inspire can help the teacher explain the reading material. This
article focused on understanding to students reading comprehension. the students can
get a question of narrative text from the teachers and students do question it with the
ability that they have. After they do question it, every question that they do will appear a
feedback. And to do question the next, students must complete a question of earlier.
Basically, they do have to sequence.

THEORY OF LITERATURE REVIEW

A. Media
The word media comes from the Latin plural of medium. The traditional view is that
it should, therefore, be treated as a plural noun in all its senses in English and be used
with a plural rather than a singular verb: the media have not followed the reports (rather
than ‘has'). In practice, in the sense ‘television, radio, and the press collectively', it
behaves as a collective noun (like staff or clergy, for example), which means that it is
now acceptable in standard English for it to take either a singular or a plural verb. The
word is also increasingly used in the plural form medias, as if it had a conventional
singular form of media, especially when referring to different forms of new media, and
in the sense ‘the material or form used by an artist': there were great efforts made by the
medias of the involved countries about 600 works in all genres and medias were
submitted for review.
Media types can generally be divided into:
▪ Visual media is a media that can be seen, read and touched. This media relies on
the sense of sight and touch. For example media photos, pictures, comics, etc.
▪ Audio media is the only audible medium, using the ear sense as the channel. For
example sounds, music, and song, musical instrument, etc.
▪ Audiovisual media is medium that can be heard and viewed simultaneously.
This media moves the sense of hearing and sight simultaneously.

And application Lectora Inspire using audiovisual media because in Lectora inspire,
students can hear and see some tools. For example media drama, movies television,
pictures, text etc.

B. Lectora Inspire
According to Mas'ud (2012:1-2), Lectora Inspire as Authoring Tool to develop
the content of e-learning that developed by Trivantis Corporation. In 1999, Lectora
Inspire was founded by Timothy D. Laudermilk in Cincinnati, Ohio, Amerika.
Lectora Inspire can make online course simple and so quickly. Lectora has 5
achievements in 2011, as Innovation product learning, Authoring Tool, The best
tool presentation, and the best technology of e-learning. In the system of teaching-
learning, PowerPoint is familiar media to present the material. But the fact different
between power point and Lectora Inspire is PowerPoint software is produced to
make the presentation not to became multimedia learning, it different when Lectora
Created to become Multimedia Learning. Even though we can exploit power point
to became interested learning multimedia.

C. Reading Comprehension
 Reading Comprehension is the ability to process text, understand its meaning, and to
integrate it with what the reader already knows. Fundamental skills required in efficient
reading comprehension are knowing meaning of words, ability to understand meaning
of a word from discourse context, ability to follow organization of passage and to
identify antecedents and references in it, ability to draw inferences from a passage about
its contents, ability to identify the main thought of a passage, ability to answer questions
answered in a passage, ability to recognize the literary devices or propositional
structures used in a passage and determine its tone, to understand the situational mood
(agents, objects, temporal and spatial reference points, casual and intentional
inflections, etc.) conveyed for assertions, questioning, commanding, refraining etc. and
finally ability to determine writer's purpose, intent and point of view, and draw
inferences about the writer (discourse-semantics). An individual's ability to comprehend
text is influenced by their skills and their ability to process information. If word
recognition is difficult, students use too much of their processing capacity to read
individual words, which interferes with their ability to comprehend what is read. There
are a number of reading strategies to improve reading comprehension and inferences,
including improving one's vocabulary, critical text analysis (intertextuality, actual
events vs. narration of events, etc.) and practicing deep reading

RESEARCH METHOD

a. Research Question
1) How is the process of teaching reading comprehension by using Lectora Inspire?
