INTRODUCTION

In this globalization era, the advance of technology is very amazing. Peoples become crazy about technology use. This phenomenon also influence education world. Many schools provide computer laboratory, with internet access, as one of their facilities to support teaching-learning process. The teachers are encouraged to use this facility to apply their teaching method in the class. This facility is expected to make the teaching-learning process more efficient, creative, and fun.

In contrast, this technology can also have negative sides. One of those negative sides is that you, as a teacher, have to pay attention to what your students are doing behind the computer screen, because internet has all of the interesting things that your students would like to open. Besides, the teachers must also remember to pick up an appropriate website to teach the students. The teachers must decide the appropriate level of the website, the reliability of the website, the credibility of the website, and so on.

In this paper, our group is going to introduce a good educational website using Computer-Assisted Language Learning approach which can be used to teach second grade of Junior High School students. Our reason to apply the website as a teaching material for second grade of Junior High school is because the grammar, structure, vocabulary, and the language level is match to their need and competence level. In addition, the objective of our teaching is to train the students’ listening, reading and speaking skills to be better in a fun way. Principally our activity is reading where the students must read aloud the texts appear on the computer screen, but it can be listening and speaking too. When the text is highlighted, the students are encouraged to pronounce it together while listening to the pronunciations from headset. So indirectly this reading activity can teach listening skill and speaking skill.
