Abstract
The objective of this research is to improve the speaking skill of Class VIII E students at SMP Negeri 2 Kalasan in the academic year of 2011/2012. The study attempted to be one of the efforts to solve the problems related to the students’ speaking skill by using conversational videos. The type of this research was action research. The steps of this research were reconnaissance, planning, conducting action and observation, and reflection. The participants of the research were the researcher, the English teacher, and the students of Class VIII E of SMP Negeri 2 Kalasan. There were two forms of the data in this study, namely qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were obtained through conducting observation, in depth-interview with the students and the English teacher, making field notes, taking photographs to the teaching and learning process, and holding the discussion with the English teacher as a collaborator. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were obtained from the scoring of the students’ performance in each cycle. In addition, the validity of the data was obtained through democratic validity, outcome validity, catalitic validity, dialog validity and process validity. Then, the reliability of the data was obtained by giving the genuine data, such as field notes, interview transcripts, photographs and observation checklist. The results of the research showed that there were some improvements in students’ speaking skill including pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The improvements could be seen from the students’ speaking performance during the implementation. The improvements were also supported by the progress of the average scores in Cycle 1 scoring and Cycle 2 scoring. Then, there were some students’ positive behaviours toward the implementation of the conversational videos related to their participation in the class. They were more active than before in every activity, they actively participated in doing group discussion and role play. Also, the students were motivated to speak and to actively take part on the conversation. Conversational videos grabbed the students’attention by providing the language used that could be seen and heard at once, so that their motivation was improved. Thus, the implementation of conversational videos could improve the students’ speaking skill.
