The lack of media used in the teaching and learning process of English in class XI Science could
influence the students’ attention and motivation to learn English. Interesting learning media such as videos were rarely
presented in the teaching and learning process. Appropriate models in teaching speaking were also not provided. Furthermore, the materials given
by the teacher did not attract to pay attention to the materials.
4. Problems Related to Learning Tasks and Activities
Learning tasks and activities were another problem occured in the teaching and learning process of English in SMA Angkasa Adisutjipto
Yogyakarta. They were problems which were faced by most of the teachers, not only the teacher of SMA Angkasa Adisutjipto Yogyakarta. The learning
tasks and activities applied by the teacher here were monotonous. It made the students feel bored given the monotonous learning tasks and activities
over and over again. In addition, the teacher tended to give the materials which just focus
on the receptive skills, not the productive skills. So speaking was rarely taught in the school. The teacher tended to teach reading skill than speaking
in order to face the test or examination which is usually in written form not in verbal.
5. Problems Related to Learning Facilities and School Environment
SMA Angkasa Adisutjipto is a school which is located in Sleman, Yogyakarta. It is not a really big school but the facilities here are good
enough. However, the facilities were not optimally used in this school.
The school is located near Adisutjipto International Airport. The school environment is quite tidy and quiet, but sometimes when there was a
plane flying over the school, the teaching and learning process was disturbed by the sound of the plane. So when the teacher was explaining the
material, she should stop to teach for a while.
C. Limitation of the Problems
In conducting this research, the researcher limits the problems that are going to be discussed. The limitation of the problems are discussed together with
the English teacher in order to find out the use of videos in improving the students’ speaking skills at the second grade class XI Science students of SMA
Angkasa in 20132014 academic year. The problems which were being the focus of the research were the problems related to the students, the problems related to
the teacher, and also the problems related to the media. The videos which are used here focus on how the native speakers speak
in English with a correct grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The videos also explain the material of the lesson, so that it can make the students easier to
understand the material. Moreover, the video also gives motivation for the students to be brave to speak in front of other people in order to make them
confidence to communicate with other people in their daily life not only in the classroom since they are familiar with speaking in English in the classroom.
