software for intermediate level BIPA. The purpose of this study is to develop assessment media to read properly and
effective understanding.

namely (1) needs analysis; (2) product design; (3) manufacture of products; (4) validation; (5) revisions; and (6) product
testing. Data collection techniques used were questionnaires and tests.
