Abstrak

Nowadays internet technology is not a new thing for most people to find information about various things. Moreover, sources from internet can be used by English teachers as teaching materials and can be used by students for learning English online. English in
Indonesia is a foreign language, which is not widely used outside the class. This is not an ideal situation for both the teacher and the students. The use of internet can be a solution for English teachers to provide more exposures to English environment or context. The key for learning English is to focus on input that can be gained through listening and reading activities. The better input the students get the faster they acquire the target language. The advance of internet technology makes it possible to combine listening to spoken English uttered by native speakers and at the same time reading texts read by native speakers. Learning English through web fkip.unirow.ac.id/elearning has been used to combine listening skill and reading skill. The web has been equipped with audio panel so that students can listen to the native speakers‘ utterances accompanied with the text that the students can read. For this activity the students get a worksheet which give them guidance and instruction to do the task. The learning materials provided in the web can be collected from reliable English magazines equipped with CD Audio uttered by native speakers.
