learning process and interviewing the students of class XI IIS 3 and the English teacher. They were in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. There were
five validity criteria in this research: democratic, outcome, catalytic, process, and dialogic validity. The procedure of the research consisted of reconnaissance,

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Problem
Language is the most important aspect to build communication with other. People use language to express their inner thoughts and emotions,
make sense of complex and abstract thoughts and learn how to build good communication with others. They also use the language to fulfill their needs
and wants. How would the human life be if there were no languages to express feelings, ideas, or thoughts? This is why language takes the most
important role of human communication system. As we know, English is the most popular worldwide language in the
world and it has different roles in every country. It can be a mother tongue, a second language, or a foreign language. In Indonesia, where English is
regarded as a foreign language, it is one of the school ’s subjects and the
students are required to pass the examination. As a foreign language, English is taught as a compulsory subject in
Senior High School in Indonesia. Moreover, English becomes a specialization subject for some schools which apply K13 Kurikulum 2013. The aim of the
English teaching and learning process in the senior high school level is to enable the students to develop English as their foreign language in both
speaking and writing. It is also stated in the Kurikulum 2013 K13 that the
aim of the English teaching and learning process is to enable the students to use English functionally to communicate with others in both speaking and
writing in daily life communication through scientific method. In learning English, the students of senior high schools are required to
master four skills. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Among the four English skills taught in senior high schools, speaking is the most
difficult skill to build in the classroom. It is based on the researcher’s
experience when she did the teaching practicum in the earlier semester. As stated by Oradee 2012 “In foreign language teaching and learning, ability to
speak is the most essential skill since it is the basic for communication and it is the most difficult skill”.
Among the four skills of learning English, speaking is the most important skill to communicate effectively with others. It is more complicated
than it seems at first and involves more than just pronouncing words. As stated by Nunan 2003, speaking in a new language is harder than reading,
writing, or listening for two reasons. First, unlike reading or writing, speaking happens in real time, usually the interlocutor is waiting for the speaker to
speak right then. Second, when we speak, we cannot edit or revise what we wish to say, as we can if we are writing.
As a vital role in EFL learning, learners should have a good speaking skill. However, in fact, there are so many students that have low ability on
this skill. Most of them have difficulties to find the most appropriate word and expression to verbalize their ideas. Hetrakul 1995 said that the students
use English more frequent only inside the class and less frequent outside the class
. This matter caused the students’ speaking improvement stunted. The environment that does not support the students speaking English
frequently becomes another problem in improving their speaking skill. The environment here means the situation inside and outside the classroom. The
students have limited time to learn English in the classroom. While they are outside the classroom, they feel shy about other people thinking. Those
people may think that the students just want to show off when they speak English. That negative response makes them lose their self-confidence to
improve their speaking. It also makes the students unable to communicate in English fluently.
Considering the importance of speaking as a part of a learning process, a competent teacher should overcome students’ speaking ability problems.
He she has to apply interesting teaching media related to the speaking skill problems. One of the interesting teaching media proposed by the researcher is
video recording project. Through the media suggested, the students are more motivated in producing the target language. They will experience speaking
English more in a fun and enjoyable way so that the students will be able to have a high confidence to participate in interactive activities that develop oral
communication skills. By carrying out the video recording project, it is also
expected that the media solves the problems related to the teaching and learning problems occurring in the context. Video recording project is an
innovative way for the students to develop their speaking skill.
Based on the explanation of the problem above, the researcher conducts a
study entitled “The Use of Video Recording Project to Improve XI IIS 3 Students’ Speaking Skill at SMA N 1 Wonosari in the Academic Year of
2015 2016 ”. This research is to assist English teachers to improve the
students’ English speaking skills and help the students achieve the goal of learning English.
B. Identification of the Problem
Based on the preliminary observation conducted in SMA N 1 Wonosari class XI IIS 2 and XI IIS 3 students in particular, there are some problems
faced by the students in the process of learning speaking which circumscribes them to get success in reaching the target language. The problems are divided
into three categories presented as follows. 1. The Student
There are some aspects of students’ speaking fluency which can
not fill the requirements during the learning process. Based on the observation when the researcher conducts teaching practice PPL at
SMA N 1 Wonosari, the lack of vocabulary mastery becomes the main problem in their speaking. They have a lot of ideas in mind but they
cannot produce them perfectly because they cannot find appropriate words to deliver the ideas in English.
The lack of confidence is another problem during the learning process in the classroom. They are too afraid and nervous to make
