semester focuses on speaking more than the syllabus of the other semester which focuses on the other language skills.
C. PROBLEM FORMULATION
This study is conducted to find the answers of the formulated research questions as follows:
1. Is video project effective to promote nursing students‟ speaking skill?
2. How does video project promote learner autonomy of nursing students?
D. RESEARCH GOALS
This study aims to find out whether video project is effective to promote speaking skill of nursing students or not. It means that this study purposes to
know how video project can be used as learning tools for nursing students to learn the English subject and how it can help them to be easier in their speaking practice
related to English material in class. I also intend to know how video project promotes nursing students‟ learner autonomy. It means that I am going to find out
whether making video is suitable for nursing students to make them having characteristics of autonomous learner, for example, knowing their learning
objective, having high motivation in learning, choosing and implementing their learning strategies, and being able to monitor their progress through learning.
Therefore, the goals of this research are to present the information about the effectiveness of using video project in promoting the students speaking skill and
to display information about the role of video project in students learner
7 autonomy. It is also expected that the information in this research would give a
positive contribution for teaching and learning activity in nursing academy.
E. BENEFITS OF THE STUDY
This study is expected to give some benefits to English learning. The results of this study may become valuable information for the teachers, learners,
curriculum and material designers and implementers and any parties who concern with the development of English education.
Theoretically, this study might become an additional reference on the literature of English studies in Indonesia context, particularly those concerning the
relation of video production and learner autonomy to the language learning achievement. The result of the research which was the relation of video project,
learner autonomy, and speaking skill, hopefully can help to improve our understanding on them and how one variable can affect one another.
Practically, the study may contribute to the development of education and language teaching to improve efficiency and productivity. It is hoped to improve
the teachers ability in monitoring students‟ language skill and learner autonomy
by the use of video project. In addition, this study is hopefully beneficial for researchers and further
studies, as this research will be likely to lead further researchers to improve, correct, and refine the theoretical foundation used in this study and to contribute
any new ideas on the effective teaching of English for nursing students.
