Abstract

This research is aimed at improving the students’ listening skill for the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 4 Yogyakarta through the use of videos. It is believed that the use of videos will help the researcher and the English teacher to overcome the problems in teaching listening. Videos are one of the effective listening materials because they make it interesting for the students to join the teaching and learning activity of listening and they provide more assistance to the students to understand the context of the situations that they convey. This research was action research that consisted of two cycles. In doing the research, the researcher involved 32 students of Class X.E, one English teacher and the researcher’s fellow university students as the collaborators and the researcher herself. In this research, there were two kinds of data, namely quantitative data and qualitative data. To obtain the qualitative data, the researcher conducted observation and interviews. The qualitative data were in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were in the form of the students’ test scores obtained by conducting Test 1 in the end of Cycle I and Test 2 in the end of Cycle II. The findings of this research show that the use of the videos can improve the students’ listening skill. In reference to the students’ listening scores, the students’ ability was improved after the videos were used as the teaching aid for the listening lesson. It can be seen from the students’ mean value gained from Test 1 to Test 2 by 19.37. Besides, the videos can improve the students’ motivation and participation in the teaching and learning activities of listening.
