out and printed materials. The researcher used video clips in each meeting to improve the students’ speaking skill. The next step is writing the lesson
plans. There were four meetings, so the researcher made four lesson plans. All of the elements in the lesson plan were based on the course grid. The
teaching method that used was PPP Presentation Practice Production method.
B. The Implementations of The Actions and Discussions
1. The Implementation of Cycle I
a. Plans of Cycle I
In this planning session, the researcher determined the form of the pre-test and the video clips which would be used in Cycle I. Then,
he designed the assessment instruments, the lesson plans, and the materials. After that, the researcher and the English teacher discussed
whether the lesson plans suited the syllabus or not. The pre-test designed was in the form of monologue. The students were required to
perform their monologue in front of the class while the researcher and the English teacher were recording their performance by using the
rating scale. The pre-test was aimed at gathering the information of the students’ currents speaking proficiency. The actions plans of the first
cycle that would be performed were 1
Using video clips to improve students’ motivation and speaking skill
2 Improving students’ English vocabulary by identifying the meaning
of new words 3
Giving rewards to improve their motivation These actions enabled the students to improve their motivation
to improve their speaking skill. Video clip was chosen because it was an attractive medium and teenagers often liked videos. The efforts of
using video clips in the speaking teaching and learning process were described as follows.
1 Using video clips to improve motivation and speaking skill.
Video is well-liked by both students and teachers because it is a rich and valuable resource. Students like it because video
presentation are interesting, challenging, and stimulating to watch. Video is good for improving student’s motivation. They are usually
interested with the task shown in the video or the task whose answer is presented in the video. So in this research, the researcher
would use video clips in each meeting of the cycles. The videos would be used to present the materials. The task would also be
based on the video clips.
2 Improving students’ English vocabulary by identifying the
meanings of new words The researcher would try to improve the English
vocabulary by identifying the meaning of new words. The
vocabularies would be taken from the video clips and the students would find the meaning of them and tried to pronounce them
correctly. The teacher would help the students if they had difficulties.
3 Giving rewards to improve motivations
The problems of motivation are very important in the teaching and learning process. In order to overcome these
problems, the researcher and the English teacher would consider any solutions needed. One of the solutions was giving rewards. The
reward here was the teacher said “Good”, “Great”, or “Good Job” if there were students who did the task correctly or answer the
questions correctly. It was expected that the students’ motivation would be improved significantly.
