CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
Based on the statistical analysis, the index value of correlation coefficient between the two variables was found to be 0.177, which means a very low
relationship. The hypotheses testing also showed that this number is much lower than the correlation coefficient of Product moment table 0.306, which means
that the null hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between movie-watching activity and listening skill. In other
words, the respondents’ movie-watching activity does not always affect their listening skill.
B. Suggestion
There are two internal threats to the findings of the study. First, the amount of exposure that the respondents receive—in this case: their watching frequency—
is still relatively low. Second, the use of the subtitles by most students may prevent them to acquire the language optimally.
Based on the findings, several suggestions can be made: 1.
The students who need improvement in their listening skill may try to watch English movies frequently. This way, they can receive comprehensible inputs
that are needed in acquiring target language and building language competence.
2. Students can watch movies through various medium, but the easiest and the
most common medium is digital media formats mkv, avi, mp4, etc. 3.
To optimize language acquisition, the movies must be watched without subtitle.
4. This research has many limitations and more researches should be conducted
on this topic. Future researchers may conduct a study with a different and broader population and a larger sample. Possible threats to internal validity,
such as the use of subtitle, should be minimized by choosing respondents who watch movies without subtitle. In addition, the variables may be modified;
future researchers can try to find a relationship between movie-watching activity and other language skills or competence, such as speaking skill or
grammar competence. Another interesting approach to this topic is finding out if people’s preference for movie genres has any influence on their
language skills.
