 There are a lot of definitions of media. Gagne (1970) as cited in Ruis,N....(2009: 2)  defines that media are various components in learners’ environment which support the learners learn. Briggs (1970) defines media are physical means which are used to send messages to the students and stimulate them to learn. A little beat differences from the opinions of the two experts, The National Education Association defines that media are the forms of communication either printed or audiovisual.
