b. YouTube video improves classroom situation

The research findings show that using YouTube video in the classroom was able to improve classroom situation. It can be seen as follows: 1 students did not make noises both by playing or chatting; 2 students did not often ask to go toilet; 3 students had their own initiative to write notes; 4 students became more enthusiastic in joining English class; and 5 students were active in following the lesson. These findings are supported by Tomalin 1991: 48 that one of the aims of teaching English to young children is to instill in them the idea that language learning is happy experience, and video creates an attractive enjoyable learning environment. It is also in line with Rammal’s statement. Rammal 2005 in his research entitled “Using Video in the EFL Classroom” states that video material can be a very useful source and asset for the language teaching-learning process because it combines both fun and pedagogic instructions in authentic material that reflect real interaction. YouTube video can also make the students paid much attention until the end of the lesson without any disturbing activity like playing or chatting and asking to go to toilet. They could focus more in teaching learning process conducted in the class. It is supported by Miclaus undated who states using videos in the English class is a very helpful and stimulating method to motivate the students to get the most of the lesson. Williams 1991: 207 in Walker 1997 commit to user 61 also states that children learn better if they have a positive attitude towards what they are doing and if they are motivated or want to do it. In conclusion, there are some cases that make the students stop from learning English. They are feeling uncomfortable, confused, tired, and bored. Then, learning English with YouTube video was able to make them feel fun and comfort. As stated by Tarunpatel 2009 in his research that students in many contexts have said they like video activities because they provide a break from the usual textbook-based activities, and even when the activities challenge students, learning with video is more enjoyable. Similarly, Cruse undated states that one of the greatest strengths of video is the ability to communicate with viewers on an emotional, as well as a cognitive, level. Because of this ability to reach viewers emotions, video can have a strong positive effect on both motivation and affective learning. Not only are these important learning components on their own, but they can also play an important role in creating the conditions through which greater cognitive learning can take place. commit to user 62
