Abstract
The main objective of this study is to improve the listening skill of Grade VIII B students at SMP Pembaharuan by using videos. Based on the results of the observation and interviews, there were some problems related to the listening teaching and learning process. The problems included students’ difficulties to understand English texts and to differentiate the distinctive sounds of English when they listened to spoken texts. After identifying the feasible problems, the researcher focused on improving the listening skill. Therefore, to solve those problems the researcher decided to use videos to improve the students’ listening skill. The type of the study was action research. It consisted of two cycles. Every cycle consisted of two meetings. This study was conducted at SMP Pemabaharuan. The subjects of this study were 16 students of Grade VIII B at SMP Pembaharuan in the academic year of 2011/ 2012. The instruments used to obtain the data were field notes, interviews, a pre-test, and a post-test. After the data were collected, they were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative data were the students’ scores. Then the results of the pre-test and the post-test were analyzed by converting the scores. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were taken from the reports of the researcher’s interviews with students and field notes. These data were collected first, and then they were transcribed, simplified, summarized, or paraphrased. The validity of the data was obtained by applying the democratic validity, outcome validity, and process validity. The results of this study show that the use of videos in listening classes is believed to be effective to improve the students’ listening skill. By using videos, the students were motivated to comprehend the narrative text through listening. Besides, videos helped them understand the expressions of asking for, giving, refusing, and offering something. Based on the observations, the students were more enthusiastic about learning those expressions and narrative text by watching films. Moreover, the improvement of students’ listening skill was indicated by the students’ scores in the pre-test and post-test. The mean of the pre-test was 50. 43. The result of the post-test improved from 50.43 to 69.75. This implies that the use of videos was effective to improve the students’ listening skill. Through those activities, the students were able to comprehend the spoken language more easily, compared to when they were given those activities without videos.
